Wanted: Lake and a Helmet

Ok, so at church this morning I was going to leave the kiddo in the nursery for the first time with out me. There usually is not a set attendant, but today there was. So I was actually going to get to go to church!

Anyway, as I am leaving the room he pulls up on a shelving unit, steps on some rolly toy thing, slips falls, and catches his fall with his face.

UGH...

Insert screaming here and me turning back around. I pick him up and looky there he has a 2 cm gash right below his eye and a scratch that goes from above his eyebrow down onto his cheek.

So 20 min of bleeding later, I spent yet another Sunday in the nursery!

So after a trip to Casa Ole and the grocery store. Both Kyles took a much needed nap. Then we headed to the lake! It was a beautiful day!!!!!!

Here are a few pics from our afternoon!

Other than that, this weekend was busy! We had a garage sale Saturday and man, those things just wipe you out!!!! We had people trying to look in our frosted garage windows at dawn. I swear, I opened the door into the garage and there were outlines of peoples heads in each window like little raccoons. Just pure maddness. But at any rate we made some extra cash for our upcoming small vacation for Kyle's 1st birthday to SeaWorld and Texas Safari! Woohoo! Ya, ya I know, he won't remember it, but we will! And mommy loves Sea World! :0)

While you were out....

Ok, so maybe it was while I was out! Another month has passed and I am 34 days away from my baby turning a year old! That is just utterly insane...... Life is going on as usual over here. I increased my working hours to 32 hours a week. Thus the lack in family updates! It is not bad, but sitting this much is KILLING me! Luckily Kyle sleeps thru most of my working hours, since he is an early riser and long afternoon napper! yay!


On the daddy Kyle / general news front it has been a slow month for car sales thanks to good ole Ike freaking everyone out. Thanks Ike! Speaking of "him" we managed to escape the dirty side of the storm and just got wind and rain. Our fence kinda leaned and we had a few large branches in our backyard. Other than that, it was business as usual except daddy was home!!! Speaking of daddy, he is amazing. I seriously could not be blessed more with such a great husband and daddy.


On the baby Kyle front, it amazes me daily that 11 months ago, the little guy was not even born. Now he is walking, waving bye bye, saying bye bye, can shake his head yes or no in response to a question, and knows the sign for eat! Wow, so much happens in such a short period of time. God really does do amazing things, and I am reminded of that every morning as I walk in Kyle's room and say good morning to my beautiful son. He is also now able to climb in and out of his favorite tug boat all by himself. It reminds me of the Tyson chicken commercial, "We have a climber!" He almost got up on the couch today by himself as well... Im not ready for that nonsense.

On the doggie front, the poor neglected doggie front, the girls are good. Nellie has become a barker due to new neighbor dogs and Jade had to have surgery last week to have some teeth removed. Talk about making me feel bad!!!! She got extra loving since I felt it was my falt for letting her weekly teeth brushing fall to the wayside. At any rate, Nellie lives now with her bark collar on constantly, and Jade is terrified if you come near her with hers.

Ok, enough typing... here are some pictures! Y'all take care!

Click on the link above to see baby Kyle getting in and out of his tug boat an walking around! All at 10.5 months old!

Going, going, GONE!

Where has 10 months gone?!?! It is hard to believe the baby I never thought I would have is already 10 months old! Well since the last post a few things have happened. First, Kyle has decided he no longer needs help eating. All that has resulted in is a mess and Nellie and Jade becoming fatter! (Like Nellie needed any help!)

Next Kyle has started "free" standing. He pulls up on stuff and then lets go and wobbles there for a moment before grabbing for something or ploping down! I will say he has gotten fewer bumps and bruises this past month. Man, when he first started this pulling up and attempting to walk business, I swear CPS was right around the corner!

Now that leads me to the biggest news.... HE TOOK 4 STEPS YESTERDAY! He had been trying hard to free stand all day and he pulled up on me while we were playing on the floor.

He let go, I clapped, he turned and went to the coffee table!!!! I was SOOOO shocked, proud, and got all teary eyed! I think I got so teary eyed because now my baby really is almost a toddler!!! Time flies.....

Hope y'all have a great week!

9 months and counting.....

Its hard to believe that 9 months has already passed since my beautiful little man was born! He had his 9 month check up on the 28th, (sorry this is late) he weighed in at 24lbs 10 ounces and was 31" tall! That puts him in the 90th percentile for weight and 99th percentile for height!!!! We are not real sure where that height is coming from, but it can keep going!!!

Not much else to report other than that. Also wanted to share his devilish side! Hope yall have a great day!

Kyle the Hyper Hypo

So last night we were playing in the living room and Kyle A. was walking around the table talking. Daddy Kyle was in the attic cleaning something. All of the sudden I hear "crash, fizzle, fizzle..." I turn around and realize that daddy Kyle had left his Vault (like a Mountain Dew) on the coffee table. Well Kyle A. picked it up and drank some before dropping it all over the table and floor. I cleaned up the mess, thinking that was the end of it.

Well I was reminded of this video about 30 minutes later.
Philip the HyperHypo skit on SNL


He couldnt decide what he wanted to do! Up, down, walk, crawl, up, down, walk...... hug, throw that toy, run around the table, crawl, climb daddys leg......etc.... It went on for an HOUR!!! WOW! That was one powerful drink!

Birthdays, walking and more...

This evening we joined our friends Billy and Stef to celebrate Stefs birthday. Along with the Bean family the Sweeny's were there as well, minus Miss Maddie! Kyle hung out at the end of the table and did his favorite thing, people watching. Oh and eating of course.... From guacamole to dad's black beans, we tried it all!!!! Don't forget Stefs yummy birthday cake sans icing.

Also today we started walking down the hall by using the walls. He is now investigating the pictures hanging on the wall, the thermostat, anything that is above him really. He is growing SOOOO fast! I swear he has grown 3 inches this last week alone!

Other than that we had an internet extravaganza yesterday, including, standing in line at Verizon Wireless for almost 2 hours..... Ugh, is all I really have to say about that nonsense. Dont really feel like going into it, so I wont.

New job for mommy is fantastic! It is the perfect job, especially since my wonderful father (wink**) let me borrow his laptop and I can now work in the living room. Very handy!!

Well, the friends I mentioned earlier are still out celebrating as I post this, but here are some pics from dinner!

Devin trying to light candles in the wind.... Not so easy!

Yay! Happy birthday Miss Stef!!!!!

The Heintschel 3 with the one and only Billy Bean!

Angel?

Well Kyle is starting understand no. It is so hard when you tell him no and he turns around and sticks that bottom lip out like you just took away his puppy! Where do they learn that stuck out bottom lip?!?!? And the pout!!!!

He is getting brave when he is pulling up and cruiing along the couch. He is now turning around from the couch and reaching across to the coffee table. Occasionally he lets go and either stands freely, or falls quickly!!! Either way, he is right back trying it again 2 seconds later! Other than that he is finally reaching when he wants you to pick him up! I never thought that would happen. He always gave you this, "Whatever, take me or leave me but you aren't worth the extra effort!"

On the mommy front things are good! I just started a new work-at-home job with Reynolds & Reynolds. I evaluate phone calls between customers and car dealerships! I am really excited and I will post more once I get further along. Right now I work 20 hours a week and finished my in house training in less than a day! So from here on out, it is me at home on the comptuer! More to come on that later!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
