Recovering

Maybe it's time I posted about Kyle's birthday since it was, oh, a month ago! We had a fun second birthday, complete with Elmo cakes (below are the cupcakes, but there was also a full-size Elmo cake). He also got lots of fun things to play with, wear, and watch.

Being cheesy

He is just getting so big and smart. Well, maybe not that big. We went to his 2 year checkup, and he is still hanging out around the 15th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference. He's just a little squirt! And he has been sick lately, so for about a week he has refused to eat much of anything. I was thrilled this morning because he ate a few bites of his banana and a couple of Cheerios. That is more than the past few days!

He also knows all his letters now. He can even say "L" without sticking his tongue all the way out! (although that was super cute). Now we're working on numbers. I think he can recognize 3 and 4 now. He is really funny because he sees letters everywhere. Just a minute ago he was on my lap at the computer and saw a partial water glass stain on the desk, and said "C! C! C!"

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm totally in the mood for comfort food lately. Probably because Kyle succeeded in giving Ricky and me his delightful cold (could be because he sneezes and coughs in our faces all the time!). Anyway, the other night I made a chicken pot pie. I usually use cream of chicken soup for the gravy, but this recipe was so yummy! Try it:

It's a really good, yummy blog!

TTFN!
