Family Fun

Back in July, some of Kyler's cousin's that he played with almost everyday, moved to South Texas. Last week they came up for a visit. Kyler had so much fun playing with someone his size. Brek loved Baby Damon and wanted to help feed him and give him Skittles!! We were sad they had to leave, but loved having them here!!

Kyler and Brek
(He doesn't really liked to be touched, but don't let him fool you he had lots of fun)



Tyce and Kyler both love balls and especially footballs lately. This is a cute video of Tyce and Kyler throwing the ball to each other. Tyce was cracking us up!!

Here are some still shots of Tyce. He was too funny!

Kenney's favorite. Tyce was so into it!

The best brother picture I have been able to get, sad huh? Kyler's does not look one bit happy and Damon is blowing bubbles. We've got to work on this!

Poor Damon is not a very happy baby. I think he has tummy problems and major sleeping issues, but we love him none-the-less. This video is one of his 20 minutes of happiness during the day. I had to take advantage and film my cute little baby.

My goofy Kyler. He wore this lei for about 2 hours that day.

Last Lake Trip

A labor-free day at the lake on our Labor Day. NOT!! Going anywhere with kids involves labor. We decided to go to the lake one last time with Kenney's family this past weekend because we knew Kyler would have a blast. We were not disappointed because he did have tons of fun, but there was not much playing in the water. It was the first nice weekend all summer long, making it pleasant to be outside. Although, it was not hot enough to make the water temperature feel comfortable. Kyler nor Kenney got in the water. I had no intentions on getting in the water, but Kenney didn't even go on the boat. He is the biggest wimp when it comes to cold water, and Kyler seems to follow suit! Kyler did have a great time playing in the sand and eating as many treats as he could find!!

Our days of 'real' smiles are over for a while. Now he has to make weird faces when the camera comes out.

And the weird faces continue...
Apparently it is fun to dump sand all over yourself because that is exactly what Kyler did. Don't worry, he ate plenty of it too. Anytime he dropped food, he would just pick it right back up, all covered in sand, and put it in his mouth. Yum!

Once Damon feel asleep, he loved the lake! Don't let him fool you, he only sleeps this well when the sun is up. Those dark little eyes make their appearance every morning around 3am. Luckily for me the night after we went to the lake, we was awake from 3-6am!!

He's so tired he can't even suck on a pacifier!

He didn't even know it came out

Kyler after one of the many times I had to feed Damon. We had to find something to distract him or who knows what my house would look like.

Oh how true his shirt is...

It's Only Been 3 Weeks?!?

Well tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since our lives have turned upside down, again. Neither Kenney nor I can believe it has only been 3 weeks! It seems so much longer than that, both in a good and bad way!! Only bad because we are both exhausted. Damon keeps us both up at night. Kenney now understands what it's like to have a newborn. Kyler never woke him up, and Damon makes too much noise for Kenney to sleep.

Here is proof that Damon does have his eyes open every once in a while. He has been awake a lot more during the day lately.

This is his poopy face. He puckers his lips when he poops; it's pretty funny. The angle on this picture makes his nose look huge!!

I refuse to say which of his 30 or so Aunts is the Best, but I think they are all pretty amazing!!

Kyler when he gets to feed himself a spoonful of peanut butter. Why do I even try to keep a clean house? It's not worth the effort!

In our last post there was a video of Kyler walking around with his pants at his ankles. Well, he continues to pull his pants down and never puts them back on. This is what happens when Dad puts them on. What's really pathetic is that those shorts are 6-9month shorts. Crazy, huh? In Kyler's defense, they are getting a little small and that brand runs big, but still, he's almost 18 months!

Adjusting to Life with 2 Boys

The adjustment to a new little brother has been far more difficult than I expected for little Kyler Dude. He has had a really hard time getting used to Damon being around and having to share Mom and Dad. I never knew Kyler could be so whiny!! It is driving me crazy. The long (or short) nights just add to the frustrations, but I think there is light slowly appearing in the tunnel!

I know it looks like Kyler is laying on Damon, but I promise he is not. This picture just shows how desperate Kyler is to get attention. Trust me he has not been neglected in any way, but he sure feels as though he will never be loved again!

Damon spends most of his afternoons naked and bathing in the sun!

My mom drove down to Brownwood to pick up Nanny so she could see her boys. It was really fun to see her and spend some time with her.

Kyler still trying to get attention

This is how hard I have been trying to keep this boy up during 'normal' hours. He even sleeps through a bath! What else can I do to keep the child awake?

Here are some videos of Kyler and the new things he has been doing:

He started doing this on the hard floor in the living room; luckily, we convinced him to do it on the trampoline instead!






We are not sure where this came from, but he does it all the time now. He pulls his pants down by himself and attempts to walk around the house, laughing as he's falling everywhere!!

Damon Blade Keys

He has arrived!! On Friday I went in for a regular doctor's appointment hoping she would let me have a baby. Well, my wishes came true! She said she would break my water, so by 1:00 we started this process. Things were going well, but not fast enough so they started pit and then things got painful. After many long and torturous hours, Damon Blade arrived at 11:24pm. He was a tiny thing at 6lbs 13oz and 20 1/2 inches long, but with no epidural and pit, I believe some fairness in life should exist!

Damon has been a very sweet little boy so far. He hardly ever cries and eats so much better than his brother. All we need now is to teach him day from night!!

Two brothers!!
This is not the best picture of Damon or Kyler, but it shows how he feels about the whole situation. He's not quite sure what to think of this baby, but I don't think he likes Damon very much. Although, Kyler does get very concerned when he cries.

Sweet Damon with his Nanny Keys

Adorable Baby Feet

Oh I love this little boy so much already!

Kenney thinks the fuzzy blonde hair all over his body is funny. This is the best picture we could get, but you can see it if you look close. We are still amazed at how little he is!
