I Love Summertime!

I'm ready to go swimming!





















Look at all the water toys I have!
















My favorite is playing near the waterfall.
















No, No. I'll show you how to do it.

I'm 8 months old!

I've had so much fun these past few weeks that I've hardly noticed that I'm 8 months old! Now that I'm on the move I have so many new things to explore and experience. And I find things so funny sometimes. Here's my belly laugh.

















Mommy lets me help in the kitchen.





















I even have my own drawer of kitchen stuff to play with.
















Am I wearing a hat?
















My favorite activity is chasing the cats around the house.
I know they're in there somewhere.

Crawlin' and Cruisin'

Just before I turned 7 months I started creeping. Since then I have perfected my Army Crawl and learned how to cruise along furniture.

Here I am in action:























































You better put down the camera if you don't want your drink tipped over.














Now, watch we walk!
























































Got to stop to clear off the table.





































Yea! I made it to Mommy!

First Family Vacation

We took our first family trip to Fredericksburg. The trip did not go exactly as planned - we broke down in the middle of nowhere! While Mommy and Daddy were stressing, I enjoyed myself by practicing driving.




















Once we got our rental car - vacation was a go! Here's Mommy and me at Luckenbach.
















I'm ready to go hiking for the first time.




















All that climbing is exhuasting.




















Here's Daddy and I at Enchanted Rock. I can't wait for more vacations!

Getting Ready for Summer

I am quite the swimmer after passing my first swim lessons. I can't wait for summer to begin - then I can swim everyday!

Aren't I cute in my swim trunks?



















Swimming away!














All that swimming does wear a baby out. Somebody come get me!

7 Months Old!

This month has just flown by. Here's some snapshots of my life the past month.

Yummy! Carrots!



















Nobody can make me smile like Daddy.














Doing the wave at the Rangers game.



















I learned how to drive this month. Which way should I go?



















Alright, I can't really drive...but I can pull myself up!



















Two of my favorite things: standing and remotes!




















Some might think I learn lessons, but I think Mommy learns more.
Kyle's Lesson #1: Don't take the remote away!

Half Birthday!

Can you believe it? I am 6 months old - half of a whole year! I got to have my first taste of some solid food for my birthday.

Here's one of my first bites of rice cereal. I like to help Mommy with the spoon!













Put down the camera, Mommy - I want that food!














One day in gym class, I surprised Mommy when I reached for this bar. It shocked her that I could stand up all by myself (as long as I'm holding on to something of course).


















Here's some of the things that I love to do:
Singing along while playing the piano...














Sitting in the highchairs at restaurants like a big boy...


















And wearing Daddy's hats.
