Kylers first ROAD TRIP and so much more!!!

Our baby boy is growing up wwwaaayyy to fast!!!! He is going to be 6 months old a week from today, can you believe it?????

Playing on the floor with his "blankie"
The picture above was taken on one of the stops during Kylers' first road trip. Two weeks ago we headed to Missouri for Justin and Kara's wedding!!! We had a ball and Kyler acted perfect the whole trip, including the plane ride up. Thats right, Kyler had his first plane ride and did great!! Lee left on Wednesday headed to Missouri to see the Mizzou/Nebraska game (too bad I wasnt there to stand in the pouring down rain, I hate I missed that.....haha). Kyler and I left Friday at lunch and flew to Kansas City. My little man slept the entire trip until we landed and I think his ears popped and upset him. In the pic above, he is sitting in a highchair for the first time and enjoying the "throwed rolls" at the famous Lamberts Cafe in Sikeston, Missouri. He loved watching the boys throw the rolls around the restaurant!!!

Momma and Kyler after the wedding!!!


I mentioned this blankie earlier, but this has become Kylers' new best friend. While we were in MO it was FREEZING, I'm talking lows in the 20's. I took this blanket to cover him with in his carseat, and little did we know how much he would like it. He now prefers this to his paci and it is such a HUGE comfort to him. I guess he got it honest because I was a blankie baby :)


Of course this little cowboy has already been to his first pro rodeo.....what else would you expect??? He has already been to barrel races and other small rodeos, but this was a whole different ballgame. He loved all the lights and music and everything that was going on around him.



Thats it for now, we go for our 6 month checkup on Tuesday the 3rd, so I will get back to you with all of Kylers "stats". It is still hard to believe that we have already been parents for 6 months!! We are beyond blessed with a perfect baby boy who we love beyond words!!!

5 month olds already.......SORRY SO LATE!!!

Ok, ok.....I know it sounds so cliche, but I literally have had no time lately to sit down and update this thing!!!! Lee has been working late shift alot lately, so he keeps Kyler in the mornings and drops him of at daycare around lunch and then I pick him up after work and we hang out all night. Lee usually doesnt get home til Kyler is asleep but makes up for it in the mornings :) He loves spending time with him by himself. Hopefully these rough hours will be over soon, b/c by the end of the week we are all WORN out.

Baby boy has now turned in to a BIG boy!!!!! Really, we took him to the doc 2 weeks ago for a checkup and he was 17 pounds, 8 ounces!!! He has grown up soooooo fast :) Since our last update, he has been quit a busy little man.

Just a few things he has been up to:
  • He has moved out of all his 0-3 clothing and is wearing 3-6 months and a few 6-9 months!!
  • He LOVES, and I mean LOVES cereal and baby food. We have found, so far, that he likes bananas, squash and applesauce. However, green beans have been tried some, but like his Daddy, he is not a big fan.
  • He has taken a liking to tummy time and is holding his head up well and starting to push with his arms.
  • His exersaucer has become a good friend and you can usually get an hour worth of housework done while he entertains himself.
  • Everything (literally) that he touches go straight to his mouth and he is a major drooler. We think he is probably teething b/c his Daddy teethed early also.
Just chillin out in Lilly Ann's stroller in Iuka :)
Over Labor Day, the WHOLE Nicholson and Langston crew and then some went to our house at Pickwick!!!! We had an absolute ball and cannot wait to get back next summer. Our group gets bigger and bigger every year, so Mr. Donnie bought a lot to build on and we know we will have sooooooo much fun in the future with all of us together at Pickwick!!! On Saturday morning, the sissies and I plus Kyler and Lilly Ann went to the festival on the square in Iuka and Kyler LOVED Lilly Anns umbrella stroller, so of course we have bought one since then :)
Hangin out on the lake :)

Kyler tends to think that this bird is the craziest thing that he has ever seen...haha!! No really, all he does is stare at him while in the saucer. He has finally, this week, realized there are other things on the saucer to play with.
This weekend we are headed to Missouri for our friends Justin and Karas wedding!!!! We are so excited for everyone to meet Kyler and get to see London and Bryer who both jsut turned a year old. Lee is heading up Wednesday and Kyler and I are flying up Friday at lunch. This will be Kylers first flight, so wish me luck :) I am hoping we dont have a meltdown while confined on the plane. We are flying during his normal nap time, so hopefully he will just sleep.
Hopefully I will get wedding pics up when we return, but we know how that goes...haha. The only reason I am getting anything done right now is because Kyler and Daddy are in our room napping.
TIL NEXT TIME......
