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......

TIME FLIES!!!

Our handsome little "lovebucket" Kyler turned 3 months old on Monday!!!! I cannot believe it...I feel like we just brought him home and were learning to adjust to life with a newborn. Now we anxiously await everyday to see what his latest thing is. He is an unbelievably happy and easy baby. He literally only cries when he is hungry and smiles at everybody!!! He also loves to "flirt" with all the girls he meets. Think he gets that from his Daddy???? He is loving being able to sit up by himself in his bumbo, and just yesterday discovered that he loves being in a high chair at YaYa's. I guess I should start working on getting his put together since Lee is working late!!!

Hamming it up for Momma!!
"HOTTY TODDY"

As most of you know, Lee has a slight obsession with OleMiss, so naturally we have a drawer full of Ole Miss apparel. Hopefully Coach Nutt can take them all the way, Kyler's Daddy would be sooooo happy :) I still have to root for my Tigers, although the Rebels should have a really good season.

Tommorrow is the big day for my best friend Heather and her husband Brian!!! Addison Grace Harper is being born via c-section at 10:30 in the morning. I cannot wait and have taken off work to be there all day and give my love and support. I am so ready to meet this gorgeous baby girl.

LOTS to update!!!

So to put it lightly, I have really, really been slacking with keeping this thing updated lately!!!! Things have been pretty crazy around here the past few weeks!!! I started back to work on the 6th, and things are started to settle down and finally get more rountine (as rountine as you can with a 2 month old.....haha). Kylers 2 month well-check was on the 1st of July, and he weighed in at a whooping 10 pounds, 14 ounces!!!!!!! We are so proud of the progress that he has made in these past two months!!!! He is growing like a weed. You never understand til you have a child what people mean when they say "they grow up sooooo fast". I feel like I was just finding out I was pregnant!! We are loving every minute we spend with him, and are so excited about every little milestone that he hits. Kyler is such a happy and content little man and has become a pretty good sleeper. He is still waking up once in the middle of the night, but will generally go back to sleep when given his paci. He is only 2 months, so he does still have his moments. I think he is gonna be a "busy body" when he gets older because he loves seeing how many different places he can sit and play in the afternoons :)

Here is big man sitting in his Bumbo. He LOVES

being able to sit and look around so he doesn't miss

anything. Wonder where he gets that from???? haha

Cousin Nicholas with his "Kyler Lee". He is such a precious

little helper and is willing to do anything to help with Kyler, even

if that means carrying Aunt Alis diaper bag while shopping

at Wolfchase....haha. I know he is gonna teach Kyler so many

things, lets just pray it's more good things than bad..haha.

Hangin' at the cabin....

So I walked in the living room the other night and
Daddy and Kyler were watching the hunting channel.
Seriously, Kyler was so into this show and didn't make
a peep while watching it!!!!

Finally, a good picture of Mommy and Kyler!!!
Little Studmuffin was sporting his Ole Miss attire
to Marks birthday party, who just so happens to be
a huge State fan!!

We are busy, busy around here lately and things don't look to be slowing down anytime soon. We are still awaiting lots of new arrivals of friends and families babies!!! The first one, Mattie Kaye, will be here tommorrow. Marissa is being induced at 5 a.m. and we cannot wait to meet her. Good Luck TJ and Marissa!!! Colt and Addison will be sometime in the next 2-3 weeks and we are excited to meet all of Kylers new friends!! Brooke and Geoffs "surprise" will be here in September, Lorin and Tims baby girl Brooke in September and my precious nephew Drake Russell will be here in December!!!!!! I know he and Kyler will be best buds like their Daddys!!!

7 weeks old!!!

Can you believe that this beautiful baby is already 7 weeks old? TIMES FLIES!!!! People were not kidding when they say they grow up fast. Before we know it, Kyler will be walking and talking :) We go to the doc Monday for our 2 month check-up and finally get shots so he will be able to be around other kids and lots of people!!!!! He is just growing like a weed, and I am guessing he is around 10 pounds. He is taking 4 ounce bottles 8 times a day, so he is actually becoming a little chunk. He is really starting to smile alot and has become so alert!!! It seems like these days he is awake more than he is asleep. I think he's alot like his momma and doesn't want to miss anything....haha! He is also doing really well on his sleeping. He usually goes own around 10, wakes up for a bottle at 3 and goes back down til around 7. The thing is that alot of times he considers the middle of the night bottle "playtime".

All ready to go!!!! He loves riding in the car!!!!

Kyler and Daddy on Fathers Day

My computer has been messing up, so I couldnt post any pics on Fathers Day, so here it is. Kyler and I made his first trip to Pickwick on Fathers Day morning to see PoPo while Lee baled hay. We left there about lunch time to come home and see Daddy :) We didn't do much but just hang around the house, but we still had lots of fun hanging with our little man.

Oh yeah, Kyler and I finally got Daddy the Ole Miss diaper bag he has been wanting fot Fathers Day. Lee has been dying for one to carry when he has him by himself. Momma will not be caught dead carrying the thing!!!! You can't be a Tiger grad and carry an Ole Miss bag!!!! That would be ludicrous!!! Not to mention the fact that my Mammaw would not like it AT ALL :) It has kinda become a running joke with my Mammaw, because if you know her she is a Tiger FANATIC. If you don't believe me, she has the tshirt to prove it. Anyway, I tend to make sure Kyler has plenty of Memphis clothes to wear and represent his Momma's alma mater!!!

The Love of Our Lives......for you "Auntie" Pudden!!!

So, my good friend Pudden cared to point out that I haven't updated the blog lately.....haha :) She wasn't the first person to say something, so here goes.......

Kyler is growing by leaps and bounds lately. It is hard to believe that he is already five weeks old!!!!! Time flies when your having fun!!! He is starting to be more alert during the day and loves sitting in his boppy and looking around. You can get a smile out of him every once in a while and it is sooooo cute. He has turned in to somewhat of a "chunky monkey" and is now up to four ounces eight times a day!!!!! This is huge, considering how hard of a time we had getting him to take a bottle the first week of his life. After an eight day stay in the NICU, every little thing that he does is such an accomplishment, and we are so thankful for a healthy and growing baby boy. God has really blessed us with a precious baby and we know He is watching over him everyday!!!! We go back to get our eight week shots on June 29th, and I am so anxious to see how much he weighs. After that, we can finally be around Nicholas and Lilly Ann and I cannot wait for them to all get to play together!!!

mini photo shoot in his bed

This sweet baby LOVES sleeping on his Daddy's chest.
It is the cutest thing you have ever seen. This is how we
get him to sleep after his "bedtime" bottle.

Already sitting in his Bumbo!!!! He is so advanced, haha.
Really though, he does a good job at holding his neck up by himself.
He can last a minute or two before getting tired.
I love how his is looking at Lee...he ADORES his Daddy.

We had to get a pic of Kyler with his first rainbow!!!!!

Doesn't he just look like a little chunk in this picture??

We have been really busy lately with baby showers and they have been so much fun!!! Saturday, Mom, Heather, Amy and I threw a shower for Kati and baby Colt and Sunday we threw one for Heather and baby Addison. Both of them are due around the first of August. There are fixing to be babies everywhere, and I cannot wait for them all to grow up together. After Colt and Addison, then we are awaiting the arrival of Marissa's Mattie Kaye, Lauren's Brooke Austin and then my twin sissy Amy's baby who we are anxiously waiting to find out boy or girl!!!!!!!! I cannot wait, because she isn't telling any names until they find out what it is. The suspense is killing Mom and I!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Lovebucket" is ONE MONTH OLD!!!

Kyler turned one month old yesterday!! It is so hard to believe, because he wasnt even supposed to be here until Saturday the 6th. He is growing like a weed and changes more everyday. By looking at him, you wouldnt believe that three weeks ago he wasnt having trouble eating because he has turned into somewhat of a "chunky monkey". I can't wait to see how much he weighs when we go back to the doc for our 2 month check up!! Basically he just eats and sleeps and wakes up twice during the night, which really isnt to bad (you just learn to get used to it...haha). Not much else is going on around here, just enjoying being home with Kyler and watching him grow!!!

Lee is really proud of his garden and his new baby cows, so I will get pics up of those soon. As well as new pics of Kyler :)
