Preston trip and some cute pics

Ricky didn't have to work yesterday because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we didn't feel like sitting around, so we decided to go to Preston for a few reasons. We both love Napoleon Dynamite, and neither of us had been there. We just wanted to see the sights. Plus, what better way to celebrate MLK day than to commemorate the inter-racial marriage of Kip and Lafawnduh?

Well, it was fun. I was slightly disappointed because I wanted to get a shake at Big J's drive-in, but that didn't work out. First of all, Big J's isn't a drive-in (anymore...It may have been at one point). And secondly, it apparently had a fire and was closed for repairs. SAD! So we went to Arctic Circle instead, which was pretty good.

Our digital camera is on the outs, so I only had my cell phone camera, and I only took one picture, but it was the mother lode...NAPOLEON'S HOUSE! We came home and watched the movie, and it looks the same! Very exciting, but I'm sure the peeps who live there now aren't thrilled that people drive by all the time. Here is the pic:




Now for some really cute pictures. The other day when the weather was pretty nice, I decided that Kyle and I would walk down to the mailbox to get the mail. It's a pretty good walk, especially for a baby in the cold, so I made sure he was bundled up. We finally found a winter coat his size (sorta) and it is SO CUTE! Here are some pics:

Narcissist

So, Kyle loves to see himself in that video online. He loves to sit on my lap while I'm on the computer, and he's gotten to the point where he will throw a fit until I log onto my blog and play the video for him. Then if I navigate away from the page, he throws another fit! The whole time the video is playing, he is just sitting there smiling at it. It's so funny! But do you think he knows that it is him? Hmm...I don't know.

He's a Maniac!

Here's our cute little crawler. He finally mastered crawling around Thanksgiving, and he is really getting around now. He's into everything, and since the knees of his pants and his socks on the top of his feet are filthy, he's also encouraging me to clean the floors more often!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...AQUA-CRAWLER!

My kiddo is a NUT! He refuses to try very hard to crawl on dry land, but he LOVES the tub. He tries harder to crawl in there, but it is so slippery that he always face-plants and gets a face full of water. Luckily, he thinks that it is hilarious. Here are a few pictures of Aquaboy in action!

New pics of Kyle

Yeah, I know I'm a slacker, but I just barely got these pics off my mom's camera. Aren't they cute?
He was my little Alfalfa for Halloween!

Toothie

Kyle has a tooth! I have to admit, I feel like a negligent mom. I didn't even know he was teething. He has been acting normal, if not better than normal, lately. Yesterday, I was lying on the floor near him, and he grabbed my hand and started chewing on it, and I felt his little razor-sharp tooth! He hates having his face messed with, so he wouldn't let me look at it, but today I got a peek while he was squawking during church. It is so cute, but so sad. He's not going to be my little gummy newborn anymore.

Here is a cute new picture of Kyle in a hat. SO CUTE!

"Looks Like We Got A Nodder!"

Just a few updates on silly little Kyle:

He is dangerously close to crawling! He gets on his knees and rocks back and forth. He thinks he is pretty awesome (which he is).

He's learned to nod his head! We were in Old Navy not too long ago, and they had some music playing, and he started bobbing his head to the music. It was soooo cute! Now he does it all the time, and he even shakes his head "no."

He'll kill me in 14 years for telling this, but it was funny. Today he had the mega-blowin'-outest diaper of all time. It basically shot out north and south and it was a total mess. Since he loves to roll, he has a habit of rolling over onto his tummy while I'm changing his diapers, and it usually isn't a big problem, except for today. He got a blanket that he was laying on all poopy, and while I ran into the bathroom to start some bathwater for him (because the diaper really was that bad) he started rolling around on his carpet stark naked and still a bit messy! Ricky came home while he was in the bath, and immediately smelled the mess. It took both of us about 15 minutes to fully clean up the disaster!

Finally, I figured out about 20 minutes ago that he loves the word "zip." Every time I have said it to him, he gives me a big grin and starts nodding!
