Kyle is 2!

Kyle has turned 2. For his birthday this year we didn't do much. The boys and I arrived home the day before his birthday and Eric had to leave for Portland the very next day. As soon as we left the airport we went to one of our favortie restaurant, Red Robin. They are so "kid" oriented. When we were done we went home. I hurried and wrapped Kyle's presents and than he opened them. His favorite presents....a toy microwave (Nana and Papa) and vacuum (Grandma). Now whenever the real microwave beeps he say "done, done". While I am vacuuming he also vacuums. He also received a dish set (so he won't play with mine, thanks Nana and Papa), a "Thomas the Train" train track, a shopping cart from Aunt Becky,  a guitar (like Kade's) from Grandma Fern and cards. It was a really fun birthday with just us!

A face of excitement!

 Connor wanting to play eat and play with the paper. 

He finally starts being interested in the train track. 

The next day we went to the store and purchased a cake (I know I am SO creative). It was delicious! When it was sitting on the counter, when I wasn't watching, he pushed a stool over, lifted up the lid and started eating the frosting. That's our Kyle!!! He did a fantastic job at blowing out his candle. 

I LOVE this picture of Mr. Kyle!

Big breath!!

So happy he blew it out!

Now that his birthday is over a little bit about Mr. Kyle AKA Mr. Boo. Kyle is our most energetic out of the three. He can make me laugh one minute and be completely frustrated the next. He enjoys making messes, such a little boy. I have to remember to never give him a bag of chips or crackers. He will be eating them one minute and spilling them all over the floor the next. He does help me clean up though! He LOVES to tease Kade. He enjoys taking something away from Kade and running. However, they do play well together too. I have caught them "reading" some books together. Too cute! He loves Connor. He gives him lots of hugs and kisses, but sometimes, when he is upset, he will push Connor down. Probably because Connor is smaller and can't do anything about it, yet. As a baby Kyle did not like to cuddle very much. Now, when he wants to, he loves to cuddle and snuggle. He will come sit with me on the rocking chair, snuggle, and fall asleep. He won't go to sleep without me laying beside him. Kyle likes to read books with me. He always points up to Kades bed (that is where the books are) and says "more, more". I have been told, twice by older women, that he is "such a pretty little girl". I think "really, he is dressed like a little boy and acts like a little boy". They tell me I need to cut his hair, but we really like it. It fits his personality and reminds us of a California surfer guy. His vocabulary is growing every day. He now knows how to tell me Kade is being mean. He will point to Kade, have big alligator tears and say "Dade". He is super excited when daddy come home. He will run down the stairs saying "daddy". I am excited to see how much he grows and changes this next year! Hopefully he doesn't give me too much of the "terrible 2's". But if he does we still love this little guy to pieces. He brings so much more laughter to our lives.
