March for Babies

We have signed up again this year for the March of Dimes "March for Babies". Again we had to sign up for the one in Oklahoma because we the one is Dallas was in April, so we were not ready since Kyler was so young. Since Kyler's birth, I have a new appreciation for the mission of the March of Dimes. The benefits of the shot I got every week, as well as the surgical procedure I had early on, were discovered by research funded by the March of Dimes. We will never know if we would have our little muchkin had we not had the shots and surgery, but I am so thankful that they were available and that my new Dr was so willing to try whatever it took to get our baby here. The few days Kyler spent in the NICU truly made me realize how important it is to me to be apart of this. Seeing all the tiny babies in there that were going to make it and be ok was truly amazing.

Wow, I sound like an infomercial!!

Kyler and his new toy

Mom bought a horse jumper before Kyler was even born. Uncle Brent put it together when he was here the last time, but Kyler has just decided that it is kinda fun. He absolutely loves his frog bouncer that we have at home. When we were over there the other day, Dickens really wanted Kyler to pay attention to him, but Kyler was way too interested in the spinny thing on the horse. After about 10 minutes of rolling around, Dickens gave up.

For everyone that doesn't get to see Kyler often, I am posting two pics for size comparison. The first was taken March 26(13 days old) and the other was taken today(4 months 6 days).

Trying new things

A few weeks ago, we started Kyler on solids. So far he has tried bananas, green beans, sweet peas, squash, carrots, peaches, pears, sweet potatos, and applesauce. He LOVES the bananas, pears, and sweet potatos. He does not like peaches at all. At first he wasn't so fond of the applesauce, but now he eats it. Sometimes he gets distracted by our bright yellow chicken curtains, so you have to feed him while he is looking to his right. Oh well, at least he is a good eater.

First time at the park

We decided to take Kyler to the park bright and early yesterday morning. We tried to go last weekend, but there were so many people there once we got there. So as soon as he got up and ate, we headed out. As you can tell from the pictures, he was not all that excited about it. He was really looking around though. I think he was just taking it all in. Once he can run, he will love it!! It is the coolest park ever!! I think I may have his first birthday party there!! Never too early to start planning!!
