April



We took a trip to the Oregon coast last weekend and had a great time! Bryson loved playing in the sand and Kyle seemed to enjoy it as well. We got a hotel room right on the beach. It was beautiful weather even though it was a little cold and windy. Bryson tried salt water taffy for the first time and didn't like how chewey it was he spit it out and cried because he couldn't get it out of his teeth. Bryson enjoyed getting splashed by the seals at the seaside aquarium and looked at all the fish. He is talking more and can put three to four words together, but is still pretty hard to understand. He will be moving up a class at daycare and they work on potty training! I can't wait. Bryson is really starting to get jealous of Kyle and very possessive over his toys now that Kyle is mobile. We've been struggling with disciplining him, but things seem to be getting better. We hardly ever go out to eat because Bryson can't sit for more than 10 minutes. He is a very physically active kid and won't sit and color for more than a couple minutes. He loves to run, climb, and jump!

Kyle is crawling fast now and can pull himself up to stand and walk around the furniture. He likes to get into all Bryson's toys, especially the ones Bryson is playing with. He's not very interested in babyfood anymore and is eating table food really well. He's seems to be gaining weight, his face is looking more chubby. The teacher at daycare said they were going to keep him in the infant room an extra month because he is so small (and because she really likes him). He loves taking baths with Bryson and goes into the bathroom and stands at the tub whenever he gets a chance. He loves watching Bryson and they laugh and play peek-a-boo games together.

I'm keeping busy with my job, working two days a week and I've got my garden started with hopes to expand with more garden on the side of the house. Ken is liking his new job with SWMC doing home health and has been listening to books on tape while he's driving in the car. We're looking forward to my parents coming to visit next month for Kyle's birthday. I can't believe he's gonna be one already!
