The Winters Family: February 2011

Time has gone by, and now you need to be filled in on what is happening with our little man and the rest of the family!

Christmas was a huge success at our house this year. Nana, Pop pop, Grandpa, Aunt Meredith, Uncle Karl, Liesel, and Max all joined us. The previous night, Kyle and I went to mass with April. I also finished my 3rd class the week of Christmas with another A. The first week of January, I started my 4th class. I have just finished that one and earned an A again. I am starting my 5th class, and looking forward to the end of April when I get to be done until September and gain some much needed family time! Until then, it is teach, learn, and be a mommy:)

Kyle is now 10 months old! He has two teeth, can say Mama and Dada, waves, sort of points, crawls everywhere, cruises, pulls up and stands up, knows his name, claps, helps to dress and undress himself, turns light switches on and off, hand feeds himself, has the most wonderful laugh and smile in the world, has a definite mind of his own, and is the best little man in the world! He has taken 3 single steps, and we are just waiting for him to start walking.

In late January, he got really sick with the stomach flu for 2 weeks. He lost over a pound and was so sick. It was awful to see him so miserable. In mid February, we tried to take him off one of his doses of meds, but to no success. His reflux was awful within 48 hours, so after a week he was back on the 4 doses a day. All things considered, he is such a happy little boy, and we love seeing him grow and learn.

We have had much less snow than last year, and that makes me very happy. I am counting down the days till it is warm, and we can take Kyle out to play! Bandit is getting anxious about being outside and swimming too...come on summer!

In February, my phone was stolen, so all my wonderful pics have been lost. We get new phones soon, and I cannot wait!

I look forward to April 20th when our little bird turns 1! I can't believe that he has grown so much. I also can't wait to see what he does next. Stay tuned to see what new adventures Kyle takes us on. I promise that once this class is over, I will post 2-3 times a week. Until then, I will try to get them in every week or so.
