Sitting Up!!

Kyler decided last Friday that he wanted to sit up, so he did!! Before, he was pretty good about keeping his balance for a few seconds on his own, but he could not balance himself very well when he started playing with a toy. On Friday, however, he just started sitting up all by himself. He does that with a lot of things, when he decides to do something he just does it. He rolled over once and now he does it all the time. If he would just decided to crawl I know he could do it. But let's be honest, I am not in any rush to have a baby getting into everything!!

Bath Time

Since he began sitting up so well, He likes his baths so much more. He loves it when the water is coming out of the faucet and loves to splash the water. Good thing Aunt Z picked out some bath toys for him. He will have tons of fun when they get here. I can't believe how big he is getting!!

Way too busy to look at the camera

Aww, there's that adorable smile

Crazy hair

Look how long it is getting, at least on top! He has way longer eyelashes than me. Thank goodness for his daddy!!

All Clean

Getting Dirty

For those of you that don't know, I hate to be dirty, especially my hands. I have never been a good outdoors woman because of that. This last week I have been so proud of myself because I have gotten my hands dirty!!

First, I began by wanting to get some fresh herbs. So I got some plants, potting soil and everything. I dug my hands into the dirt and covered them with soil. I was so excited I had fresh herbs that I planted. Kenney was less than impressed! He said that did not count as getting my hands dirty. I totally thought it counted.

So I decided to really get my hands dirty. I skinned an entire chicken WITHOUT gloves!! I know that is a huge shock to most of you who know that I avoid touching raw meat at all costs. I almost took a picture of it, but decided it looked pretty nasty and did not want that on my blog. I know these things might not seem like a lot to most people, but to me, I have accomplished so much! Kenney agreed that the chicken counted.

My Herbs: Rosemary, Sage, Oregano, & Basil

Our House Plant

Kyler, of course, is a true boy and does not mind being dirty, at all. He acts as though he is being horrifically tortured if I try and clean his face in any way. He seriously screams bloody murder.

He was actually blowing snot bubbles. I didn't get one, but the snotty face and the bib fit perfect!

Football Games

Kyler is slowly getting used to Texas football. He is still not extremely comfortable with all the noise and excitement, but he loves it at the same time. Kenney's youngest brother had an 8th grade game on Thursday we went to for a warm-up. He did really well during that game which I think helped for Friday night's game. Kaden played awesome too!

It was Homecoming for Childress so there was a lot happening. Kyler could not miss a second of it. He stayed awake for the whole game and did not fall asleep until 11:30!! We tried multiple times to get him asleep, but he was entirely too distracted. He never cried as long as he was looking around at everything. Needless to say, I think Kyler loves Friday Night Lights!!

Childress won in the last minute of the game, so it was loud and really exciting. Keyan blocked a pass in the last minute and got a lot of amazing tackles.

Kyler with the Defensive Player of the Game, Uncle Keyan. Keyan had a great game and I almost got the score in the background 28 to 24.

I forgot to mention the amazing coaches too! Here is Kyler with the best coach, Coach Payne. He is Kyler's uncle, for those of you that don't know.

All smiles after the game

Busy Boy

Even though Kyler is not quiet mobile yet, he is very busy. He is never still unless he is absolutely exhausted or sick. It is very odd to see him relaxing. He continues to do his crunches all day long and will not crawl!! He can entertain himself as long as he does not see Kenney or me. As soon as he sees us he starts whining. Funny how that works!

He has not had many new adventures lately, besides a Texas football game! Lets just say he's not a fan, yet. He did not like all of the loud noises and yelling. He did enjoy all of the stuff happening around him. He only cried during the entire first quarter because it was all new. and the last quarter because it was a close game and there was lots and lots of noise, plus it was late. But Childress won and Uncle Keyan did amazing!! We'll see how Kyler does the week.

Hmm... I wonder who sent him this?? Auntie Shandi of course!!

Silly Boy

The blurry pics are from my phone, sorry.

This is what Kyler was thinking during the football game. He fell asleep during the second quarter. He had had enough!!

Mr. Grumpy Gills

Here is a better picture of his 'pimp' outfit, as Kenney calls it. Notice the pimp shoes also.

Kyler jumping around and having a blast! Thanks Nanny

I Know. . . It's Been Forever

We have been a little busy remodeling a house, going without the Internet and a power cord to our computer. Needless to say I am at least getting a post done in August, even if it is the last day!!

Kyler is getting bigger by the second!! He is 5 1/2 months old and skinny as ever, especially compared to all of his cousins! He continues to hate being on his stomach and is slowly beginning to maneuver without crawling. I will walk out of the room, come back, and Kyler will be on the opposite side of the room. He will only roll to his stomach when a toy he really wants is out of reach; otherwise he will play on his back, using his feet as much as his hands.

He has started eating 'real' food. He likes it much better as long as it is sweet. I have to disguise his peas with applesauce!! No teeth yet which is great for me. He is usually pretty happy and smiles all the time.

Like I said before we have been working and working and working on our house!! Yes, we have a house!! We have painted almost every square inch of it so far. (Pictures to come later) Other than the house, Kenney is the new seminary teacher, I am in Young Women's, and we now have to work on the outside of the house. Oh did I mention that we actually have two houses? Yeah, it is two houses connected. Once the big one is finished we have another house to start working on!!! Oh what fun!!

This was taken today. He's getting big!!

The 6 babies born this year in Kenney's family. Kyler was the second born. The baby to the left of Kyler is actually a month younger than him.

The Babies and Their Beautiful Mommas

He loves to play in the water now. He likes to splash and hear all the noise he can make!

Notice the adorable flip-flops

We got the most compliments on this outfit at church. We need to get a better picture, but he looked super cute. Nanny has always had the best fashion advice!!

Too cute for words!!

This video was taken while I was talking to my sister on the phone. He all of a sudden thought the rings were so much fun!!
