Kyler turned 11 months old yesterday! Our little boy is growing up so fast! He has had some big "firsts" this past month. He finally got his arms and legs coordinated so that he is crawling on his hands and knees. He was definitely on the move last month and could get where he wanted, but it was with more of an "inch worm" style. Well, the inch worm is no more! He has figured out how to crawl on all fours and is getting quite speedy with it. Another thing Kyler has figured out this past month is how to pull himself up on things. He easily pulls himself up on his musical table, the footstool, a laundry basket, a plastic container, a box, or whatever else he thinks looks interesting! It is providing new challenges for Erik and I as we have to keep a better eye on him now. He hasn't quite perfected how to get down from standing yet...he does okay sometimes and other times he cries because he wants help. Kyler has also figured out how to go up the stairs. We have two stairs and then a landing and then the rest of the staircase to go upstairs. He has recently figured out he can get up the two stairs and then look out the window that is by the landing.
Kyler now has 4 teeth!! He got his first top one around Valentines day and the 2nd one came in just this past week. Kyler also still loves to eat, I think he eats just about everything that we stick in his mouth. :) (Which is great, I would rather have it that way for sure!) We are working on him feeding himself, which he can do pretty well if he decides that the food needs to go in his mouth instead of being played with. I often watch him put a puff in his mouth and then hit the other one until it lands on the floor.... :) Another thing with eating...Erik and I joke about how Kyler is the human vacuum; he picks up little pieces of fuzz, lint, and threads off of the floor and puts them into his mouth so fast! He puts fuzz into his mouth faster than he puts food! We hope this phase passes soon...
Well those are some highlights from this past month...we have been enjoying the warmer weather and being able to go out on some afternoon walks! Below are some photos from the past month, have a good weekend!
