Chewy Sprees

I can't believe how quickly Kyler is growing up.  I feel like just overnight he changed from the baby "pet" phase (you know, the phase where the baby sleeps, eats, poos.. and that's about it) to "Hello world, I'm an actual person!"  

Here is what he has been up to lately: He grabs anything and EVERYTHING and puts it directly into his mouth.  He laughs when we tickle/make silly faces at him.  He entertains himself by playing with his hands and feet. (which is very nice for mama!) When we help him stand up, he gets the hugest grin on his face like he is saying "Look what I can do!!"  When we talk to him, he tries to talk back. SO adorable. He also loves to do things over and over again until he is sure of the result, and then he'll change whatever it was he was doing just to see if the result is different.  For example, he has learned that when he cries I come and pick him up.  Last night, for the first time I heard him "fake cry"  (every mom knows what I'm talking about) so I waited a few seconds before going to get him and then he started laughing! Little goober. 

Sorry for the lack of pictures...I haven't taken any lately. I go through phases where I will take TONS and then phases where I won't take any.  I really need to snap out of it though, because this cute little baby will be a kid before I know it!

It's weird to think that our time here in California is almost over. I'm going to miss it.  I loved taking Ky outside on walks everyday (something that would have been impossible to do in Rexburg during the winter months)  and Jared's internship was incredible. We are so grateful for the time we have spent here, and know that it was definitely the right decision for us.  Who knows, maybe we'll be back some day.

And that was me rambling. I guess this is what I get when I try to blog this late at night. I'll probably read this tomorrow and say "why did I write that?" I was so loopy~ oh well.  Jared is done studying and we can finally go to bed now. Oh, and why is this post titled Chewy Sprees? Because It's 1am and i'm too tired to think of a title, and Chewy Sprees sound delicious right now.  Okay that's it. I'm going to bed.
