16 Months and A Walkin'!!

Our little man is 16 months old today!! Kyler is also walking everywhere!! Yay!! About 1 week after he turned 15 months, he just took off and started walking. He had taken a few steps on his own with a lot of coaxing before that, but then he decided he was going to do it and didn't look back. Kyler also knows how to stand up on his own, he did this as soon as he decided he was going to walk. It was interesting watching Kyler learn to walk compared to some of his friends. One of his friends was so much more daring than Kyler was, he would just let go of what he was holding on to and try and take a couple steps and if he fell over than he just fell over. Kyler was much more careful and only wanted to take steps if he was sure he could make it to what he was going to go to.

Kyler has also gotten a few more teeth this month. He has all 8 of his front teeth, and two bottom molars and half of his two top molars. Hopefully those two top ones get all the way though soon...I think it has messed up his napping. :)

Kyler is really into waving things around. He loves to grab a piece of clothing or a small towel and walk around waving it in the air. He also really enjoys pushing cars or other objects across the floor. Sometimes he pushes books or anything that will slide easily across the carpet.

Some of Kyler's other "likes" right now:

-Bring you a pair of shoes and have you put them on him, and sometimes 15 min later go get another pair of shoes and put those on instead.

-Read books, sometimes with someone, sometimes by himself

-Throw balls or roll them across the floor

-Eat ice cubes from Daddy

Here are some pictures from the last month! Stay cool! :)
