Beach

A week before school was out we went to the beach for the day to enjoy the sunshine and avoid the allergies in the valley.







We tried out the new backpack too. Kylan loved being up so high.

Dancing Machine

Since Kylan was little we would often turn on the radio and dance. This week he started dancing on his own to the music from one of his toys.

Kylan is 1!!

It's hard to believe that Kylan is now one. So many amazing memories and milestones this last year. We celebrated with a bbq (lucked out with the weather) with family and friends. We got a pinata for the kids and had no idea it would be so tough to break!

Good swing Eryn!

The rush for goodies

The infamous first cake. He loved it! He ended up eating more whip cream than cake but had a good time regardless. Here is a video of him eating it. The best part is when he goes at it with two hands. He loves his cake!!

First haircut and first place

A while ago we took Kylan to Bruce Berg for some pictures and also to enter him in the Lane county baby photo contest. We got a call this week that we were invited to the awards ceremony and that his picture had won a prize- but they wouldn't say more than that. When Kylan's category (3- 12 mos.) was called we were hoping for honorable mention; but were shocked when he was called for first place. We won a framed 8 x 10 and a few gift certificates to local businesses. Very exciting!



Kylan had his first haircut this week. He was very good and didn't seem to mind a bit. He loved looking at his reflection in the large mirror and was very curious watching Katie cut his hair. I couldn't believe the difference it made.







And some other pictures....
Loves crawling all over the house and very fast too


Loves playing outside... but will hardly keep a hat on






And he LOVES gnawing on apples. He has sat for 30 minutes before just sucking and chewing on an apple. I think it feels good on his gums. He has 3 teeth now. Two on the bottom and the top left just came through.

Oh, it's been a while! Since the last update Kylan has learned to crawl (all over the house) and pulls himself up everywhere. He's so busy! Walking seems close- he's taken a few tentative steps away from security but still gets nervous. He still loves to eat everything in sight. We also learned at our last appt. that he is getting his canines in first before his front top teeth- pretty rare the doctor said. He'll be our little dracula!

Spring Break- Playing at the Beach

March Pics

Kylan has been busy! Learning new things like rolling to a sit up position, pulling himself up and eating new foods.

Playing outside on one of the first nice days. Eating everything in sight is very important on days outside.






We always get good smiles at his favorite time of the day- dinnertime!

Big blue eyes

Trying to figure out why his shoe doesn't roll down the chute


Playing with Hallie- trying to fend off his first kiss. Hallie was very persistent- good girl!!

9 months

I can't believe Kylan is 9 months old. He is so amazing and perfect. Here are a few of our favorites.


If you look closely at the one above you can see his first tooth (the second one isn't quite big enough to show).
