I am always amazed at how fast kids grow, especially mine! I look at Kenney sometimes and still can't believe we have two kids. Damon is now 6 months and it's crazy!! He is getting so big and so much happier. His big smile can brighten anyone's day. At his 6 month checkup I found out he needs to eat twice as much. For some reason our kids have ridiculous metabolisms. He eats all the time now. And here I thought he was my chunky baby!
Look who's sitting up!! He's pretty good for the most part but he still falls over after a few minutes.
Ever since it snowed Kyler has wanted to wear his snow boot everyday!
It's never enough to have just one ball. If you look close you can see his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth. He does this when he starts thinking hard.
Oh yeah the ball is in the air, thanks to a good camera.
Not everyone get's a personalized candy bar for Valentine's Day, but if Dude happens to be part of your name you can! Kyler got this in his package from Grandma and Grandpa Hill
This is also part of Damon being happy. He spits in our face!! So lovely. He does this all the time now. We are lucky enough to have him do it while he eats too, so we get sprayed with food. I tell him 'no' and he just smiles at me. It's really annoying because I can't get mad at him! He's just too darn cute! Sorry about the horrible filming; I was holding Kyler.
Apparently February is the month for winter here in Texas. We got quite a bit of snow yesterday, and Kyler was beyond excited! He kept yelling, "No! No! No!" aka "Snow! Snow! Snow!" We knew he would have more fun at Nana and Papa's house so we took him out there to play. He screamed the whole time we were in the car because he wanted to be playing in the snow so bad. He had so much fun once he got out there. The snow was too dry to make snowballs but Kyler didn't care.

Trying to make snowballs without success
The snow was coming down pretty good!
Proud of himself for sitting up in the Bumbo
I LOVE those eyelashes
Damon absolutely loves to look at himself in the mirror. It is amazing how fast he sees himself and smiles. His little smile is so contagious! Kyler was pretty funny too. He watches what we do way too carefully.
Our lives are always going going going. I wish I could document more of what happens at home, but I am trying as hard as I can just to keep up! These boys bring a lot of work to our home but a TON of happiness too! Here are a few things that have been going on at our house.
For a couple days, Damon kept sticking his tongue out all day long. Then he was sucking on his bottom lip. Well a few fussy days later, two teeth all of a sudden appeared! Yeah I had no idea he was cutting teeth until they were already through his gums. Then I remembered him playing with his tongue, sucking on his lip and being fussy. Duh! I guess I didn't expect it so soon. Kyler was much slower in this department!
This picture describes exactly how Kyler feels when people touch him. He freezes and gets this look on his face. He doesn't know what to do and becomes completely uncomfortable. It's pretty funny. This is his cousin Tyce being super sweet and Kyler being Kyler!
One day we had some cousins come play and Damon loved it. There were 4 more boys running and playing for Damon to watch. Afton was so cute and came to play with Damon so he wouldn't be left out.
We have been pretty sick throughout the month of January. Poor Kyler has been throwing up and had matted eyes all month long. This also means that he is far more clingy that usual. Damon has pretty much caught everything Kyler has had, so he likes to be held also. Therefore, I have been in high demand. This is me trying to eat dinner one night. I was completely frustrated and Kenney thought it was comical. Of course neither of the boys wanted Daddy! I have always wanted cuddly boys, but it would be nice if they were happy and I could eat.
We have found Kyler like this a few times since he moved out of the crib. I think this particular time he fell out of the bed and was too tired to get back in bed during his nap. Last night I went to check on him before I went to bed, and he was on the floor again! Silly boy.
Kenney thought Damon looked so funny wearing this hat on Sunday, but I thought he looked adorable! I love that smile!
Kyler and Damon have both been sleeping in new beds. Damon now sleeps in the crib during the day. He still wakes up too much at night for me to keep him in the same room as Kyler (What can I say, I need at least some sleep!) Since the new year began, Kyler has been out of the crib. We started out in the toddler bed, and it was great for the first few nights. Then he realized that he didn't have to stay in his bed and found freedom! He then began to get out of bed about 20 times per night before finally falling asleep. He then decided he needed to sleep in the full size bed that is in his room. He also falls out of both beds at least once per night. I have gotten up with Kyler in the middle of the night almost as much as Damon! Who needs sleep? Really, isn't it overrated?
So fast forward a few weeks and he has a lock on the door so he can't get out of his room; he has a nightlight; he has a rail on the big bed so he won't fall out; and he goes back and forth between both beds. Overall, I miss Kyler being in his crib more than I ever imagined. He now comes to my bed by 7:30 every morning. The days of 9:00 are long gone.
Our sweet little Damon always wakes up happy!
Kyler on his smaller big-boy bed. He refused to pose for me. Go figure!
Daddy fits nicely! Kyler now likes to take the pictures rather than have his picture taken
He loves to jump on the bed
Kyler tried to jump on Damon so Damon had to body slam him back!
It's quite pathetic that he needs a rail on a bed this size, but he falls off very easily. My mom can attest to this because she was crazy enough to let him sleep with her one night. I will never sleep in the same bed as him. He literally sleeps in every direction, every night.
We have been putting special shampoo on Damon's hair to get rid of his cradle cap and he looked pretty silly and was making funny faces.
Look at that cute little double chin and big blue eyes!!
This video is of Kyler watching his new favorite movie Toy Story. He loves Buzz Lightyear. During the movie, there is a scene when Buzz realizes that he is a toy and not a real space ranger. This is Kyler's reaction to that scene when his favorite character is sad and has a broken arm.
Right after Christmas my family came to visit. While they were here, we were able to have Damon blessed with some family from both sides. I really enjoyed having the blessing in our home. It felt great to have people come to our house just for Damon. The blessing itself was very special and I am so happy my boys have such an amazing dad. We all love him so much!
Look who's sitting up!!
