My Little Monster

(a little journal entry-esque)

My little monster has turned into "Mr. Personality," as Tim and I like to call it these days. He is our parrot, always repeating what we say. Today it was, "Oh noooo! Oh noooo! Poop!" all the way up the stairs and while in the bathtub as I prepared him for an emergency bath. Some of my other favorites are, "Super Zooom!" (more like "Duper doom!") while watching Diego and "Reeks!"

  He is still our music man, insisting on performing songs for us daily on his six key piano. If Tim and I aren't sitting right in front of him on the couches (where he likes us best) he calls our names at the end of each song for us to clap and tell him, "More! Again!"
  He loves to play the drums from the Guitar Hero game while watching Elmo and his latest is the guitar. He likes to have the movie Cars turned on so that he can play the guitar with the opening song. He rocks his head to the music. It is so cute.

  Kyle is really into being funny. If you laugh, he laughs and does it again. Sometimes his laughs are so fake I wonder how he gets them out. He is his biggest fan (ok, maybe he gets this from me?). Kyle also loves to jump. Tim and I love when we go to get him from his crib and he yells, "Jumping!" and jumps forever. He can count to ten--sometimes by himself-- but usually needs my help and never repeats the number one.

  Kyle is his dadda's boy lately. At night our routine includes prayers, then Tim gets a kiss and leaves. Kyle shuts the door, goes crazy running in circles or jumping and then when I say it's time for bed he cries, "Dada! Dada!" and Tim has to come back in and sing to him. We really need to shorten it. He also cries for him first thing in the morning. I can't say I mind the extra minutes in bed for myself :).

  Sometimes during the day he has to throw up. He'll walk over to the toilet, open the lid, cough or gag, close the lid and come back out. It's so funny. He's very good at saying please, thank you and "Welcome," and almost uses too many napkins at dinner. He is all about every. little. thing. in his routines. That sort of drives me crazy, but I really love this stage. (Minus the hitting. He's still a hitter).

He likes to eat berries, muffins, hot dog, fruit snacks, chicken nuggets, taquitos and tangerines. He is still my meat and fruit boy. He wishes he could have a lollipop "pop" or a popsicle "pop cool" all the time.

I love my Kyle boy!
