Kyle turned the big number 2 two weeks ago. He woke up to balloons all over his room and a mom singing Happy Birthday to him. Every time I asked if it was his birthday he would say “NO!” haha We continued the festivities that night by having a little party with just the four of us. We had pancakes and smoothies (two of his favorite foods) and we opened presents. I had a really hard time deciding what to get him for his birthday. He has so many toys already (thanks to my mom). I decided after walking Walmart up and down that CARS dishes and utensils would be the perfect fit. He got a bowl, 2 cups, a fork and a spoon, all from the movie “CARS” which he loves!!! Sounds lame I know but he has been obsessed with eating with them every day since.

Oh I love this kid. I am constantly attacking him with kisses. He is such a good little guy. He has his terrible two moments where he is emotional but then he will kiss me as we walk down the stairs or just come and hug me randomly. I love it! He still loves balls and is his dad’s dream come true when he will sit still and watch sports highlights. He is amazingly coordinated. Anyone who sees him with a ball is stunned at his skills. He can hold a ball in one hand and hit it with a bat in the other. He can drop kick a ball, catch a ball, throw a ball, and make baskets from 10 feet away. He is our superstar! He has been very slow talking but has started picking up everything in the last few weeks. It is so fun to hear him say things like, “shoes off!” when we come home. He still idolizes his sister and follows her everywhere. Sometimes he even goes so far as to dress up in a princess dress, but after a couple minutes he asks for the dress to be taken off. I don’t blame him. Princess attire was not designed with comfort in mind. lol He loves most food but will not eat veggies or potatoes (unless they are in french fry form-go figure).  He does love love love smoothies and so that is how we get veggies in him. He is still a little rut and the 24 month shorts drown him but I think that will have to be something he gets used to. 🙂 He has to buckle his top strap in his carseat by himself because he sees sister doing it. He loves playing outside and goes up and down our front steps which drives me nuts because it makes me so nervous. He has quite the personality and loves to be a BIG BOY.

Life is better with Kyle around!!
