Time to Catch up!

Alas, time has gotten away from me yet again. I know I said I would try and be better, but I have had too much fun just being with Kyle this summer! Here are some key things about our family.

Bandit: He is 6.5 years old now, and is loving me being home. He is playing with Kyle from time to time, but misses all the alone time he used to have.

David: He is still working at Yellowfin, and getting a break from Daddy Daycare for the summer. He did have to do a night all by himself, when I was at my overnight field trip to Arlington Echo with my second graders. He is working on painting our bedroom and sitting room...hopefully that will be done soon!

Tracy: Like I said, I have been really enjoying all my time with Kyle this summer. I successfully completed my fifth Masters Class on Easter Sunday, and so far have a perfect 4.0. I have 5 more classes to go. I took 6 months off and will restart in November. I will take 3 classes, and then take a 4 month break, before finishing the final 2. I can't wait to be done! I will be teaching second grade again, but not looking forward to returning just yet.

Us: David and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on the 18th!

Kyle: He is 15 months old now, and is the love of our lives. He runs, walks, and jumps. He is starting to stack things, eat with forks, drink from water bottles, and use straws. He says Mama, Dada, Ba for Bandit, hi, yeah, and can sign more, all done, and sometimes milk. He can follow two and sometimes three step directions. He is good at helping to clean up and in finding things. He loves to put his shoes away once we have taken them off him, and even go get a new diaper, when we ask him if he needs one. I hope that this leads to an eagarness to potty train when the time comes! He loves to explore and get into things that he should not lol. Kyle is a night owl like David, and takes a while to wake in the morning...just like his daddy. Kyle is still on prescription formula 3 times a day due to trouble gaining weight and not being allowed to have milk yet because of allergy issues. He is almost 21 pounds, and almost 31 inches tall. We will know more once we go to the doctor for his 15 month check up on the 28th. We have gotten him down to reflux meds only twice a day instead of the 4 times a day it used to be. He naps two times a day. Kyle LOVES to go to the pool and play, and is starting to slowly play with other children while there. He loves to play with the kids across the street. He wants to be a big boy...now! Kyle has 6 almost 7 teeth, and is trying to cut a few more. He is so much fun to play with and learn with. He has become my shaddow this summer...it is very cute, but can be hard to get things done when he is under foot. I will be deeply saddened to leave his side to go back to work!

Family: We returned yesterday from our vacation to Williamsburg, VA. We stayed with my aunt and uncle, and my dad was able to join us as well. While there, we went to Busch Gardens and Water Country. Kyle enjoyed both, but being that he was able to participate more at Water Country, he really loved it there! We can't wait to do more and more things with our little man as he continues to grow!

There is not much else planned for the rest of the summer. I have to return to work on August 16th :( We will continue to hangout by the pool, and spend time together. I will do better to update...look back Thursday to see how the doctors went! Enjoy the pics below :)
