Happy Birthday Kyle!

A year has certainly flown by! It's been a whirlwind of laughs, tears, lots of coughing, and lots of fun.

Kyle is definitely much different than Justin at this age. I assumed they would be completely different; but it's been fun to watch. Kyle is all over the place; he's not really one to sit and cuddle with me and read books. He eats books and then tosses them aside and toddles off. 

I am still using the baby bathtub for baths- because the mad man tries to drown himself and will not sit still in the tub. Once in awhile I put him and Justin in the big tub at the same time- but it lasts about 5 minutes as he won't sit still and even Justin gets irritated. 

Kyle is a busy body at school too. He barely naps- if there are things going on he wants to be involved. On the weekends when he's in his room by himself he will sleep for hours- but not at school!

Overall - he's been a pretty good baby. He's generally a happy guy. He loves watching Justin do things and it won't be long before he's giving Justin a run for his money! I hope they always have a wonderful relationship and I'm looking forward to watching their relationship develop and change over the years!

It's been a struggle at times this last year juggling two kids, work and Dave's travel schedule. I'm thankful I have a job that is understanding; I know I'm very lucky. I've considered a nanny a time or two; but I love how much Justin is learning in school and can't imagine pulling him out - and can't afford to pay for daycare and a nanny!

I'm going to be one sad mommy when I don't have a baby to smooch on any more. But..we're done. A sad mommy is probably better than a mommy who is locked up in a padded room because she decided she needed another baby in the house..

Happy First Birthday Sweet Kyle! We love you!
