Kyle’s first birthday was July 9th. I have neglected blogging about it until now because of the move. We kept things very simple (due to the move). Poor Kyle got short changed. Good news-he won’t remember. Bad news-it was his first birthday for crying out loud! We moved everything from our townhouse into our new house the day before and the day of his birthday so it was a little crazy to say the least. During the day I would try to take a moment and snuggle him to soak in the fact that he is one already. He is my sweetheart! He is just so stinkin cute I kiss his little cheeks off most days! haha I’m so glad he doesn’t mind. (If anyone else kisses him the way I do he gets mad. I love it! lol)

Some things about Kyle:

*He loves to walk along the wall or furniture, but isn’t brave enough to do more than 4 or 5 steps alone.

*He always wants the toy his big sister has and visa versa.

*He hates being in a room by himself.

*He now prefers his dad to me. He gets so excited every day when Ben gets home from work. Ben loves it!!!

*His favorite toys are balls. I know people say all boys love balls but this kid can play catch already. You toss it to him he catches it and throws it back. You have to see it to believe it. He will also just chase a ball around the house for hours.

* We haven’t found a food he doesn’t like. He will eat and eat and eat!

* He randomly comes up and gives you big hugs.

* He has four teeth.

* He says “mama, dada, baba”

* He has recently thrown a couple fits that involve biting a toy or the floor.

* He does the cutest bashful look when I am holding him and he sees someone new. He gives a sly smile and rests his head against my shoulder.

* He loves books and my cell phone.

* Weight: 21 lbs (26%)

* Height: 29 3/4 inches (18%)

This past year has been our happiest!
