Kyler turned two years old on April 12th!! It's hard to believe that we now have a two-year-old at our house! At two years old, Kyler is our energetic little man. He loves to run around our house, going from one room to another constantly. Kyler loves balls of all kinds, footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, baseballs, it doesn't matter what kind of ball it is, he loves to play with it. He also enjoys any types of sticks with balls. Whether it's a wooden spoon, his golf club, or a stick from outside, it usually turns into a tool to hit a ball around the house or outside.
Pounding is another one of Kyler's favorite past times. I know I've written about it before on here, but Kyler loves to drum and pound. Last night he had gotten a drink of water from a Peppers cup, and when he was done with it, the cup was turned upside down next to his drum so he could pound on it. I then came out later to find a hole in the bottom of the cup from his pounding. :) While we sat at the Good Friday services, Kyler got out all the hymnals and Bible from the pew, piled them up and then started to drum on them with his hands.
Kyler loves to talk too. There isn't really anything he doesn't say. It's funny because he actually makes you aware of what YOU say because he picks up on phrases or words that you say and will repeat them. The other day Norah was in the swing and had some bubbles coming out of her mouth, so Kyler grabbed the burp rag and wiped off her face and then says "good job", because that's what we say to him when he helps out. :)
One new thing Kyler has done this past month is count. He has counted from 1 to 13 all by himself. We have done some counting with him, but think he has figured out some on his own from watching Sesame Street. :) I don't think he understands the true numerical value yet, but the fact that he will count and get it right is pretty good! He usually likes to count when he's in the bath and will sometimes start at seven and go up or some number in the middle. :)
Kyler has taken a liking to climbing on things. He isn't quite tall enough to climb on to the couch yet, so he has discovered that he can put his drum next to the couch and use it as a step to get up there. He has also been caught climbing into the pantry cupboard, and up onto this built-in step thing we have in the kitchen. He can also reach quite far across the dining room table. Kyler has also discovered how to climb onto the chair that is at the computer desk in the kitchen. As Erik said the other day, "nothing is safe any more!" :)
Kyler eats just about anything, there really isn't something he doesn't like. However, if we eat something for a meal, and he enjoys it, and then we have the same thing for leftovers a couple days later for lunch or something, he might not touch it. I would say his favorite foods right now are mac n' cheese, pizza, ice cream and m&ms.
Sleeping has its ups and downs with Kyler. He has never slept great and it continues to be a struggle. He takes one nap a day, usually for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. At night he is usually up once, sometimes twice. He had done great sleeping the whole night about a month ago, but has since regressed....we continue to work on that. :)
It has been a fun and crazy two years and we love our little guy so much, we are so blessed to have him as part of our family! Here are some pictures from the past month:
