Kyler's Birthday Wishlist

Here are some items that I can think of that Kyler would love for his birthday. Kyler loves to shake things, including his little Learning Table phone that sounds kind of like a maraca. Here is the link on Amazon... www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-Learn-Groove-Counting-Maracas/dp/B000ETREN8
He seems to love basketball and is quite tall for his age..so afigured a basketball hoop would be great for him. Both Fisher Price and Playschool have a toddler size that grows with him. Second, one of the best and cheapest items I have found that I would like Kyler to have include the Sassy brand bath letters/numbers that stick to the wall of the tub. I think Sassy also has space ships and other transportation shapes to play with in or out of the tub. This should also come with a net but if you think we need something to secure the items in the bath area (like the frog pod seen at the top) than we can get that too. Third, Kyler seems interested in trains, like most boys. I am going to wait another year before getting him an actual set b/c of the many pieces. I think he would enjoy a few Thomas trains with connecting train cars though. Some other items include the classic corn popper push toy, Elmo Live, and this cool snail toy that we saw at a friend's house that he liked playing with. Just let me know if/when you purchase any of these so we don't get double gifts! Thanks family!

Kyler's B-day Wishlist

I am going to post some pictures of some toys that we think will be great for Kyler if you are thinking about getting him a gift for his B-day (obviously, this is just for the relatives who read our blog). If you have something else in mind also, no worries. These are just suggestions that we put some thought into. Pictures to come soon (as soon as I can make it to the stores to take pictures)!

11 Month Pics

Can't believe it has been 11 months already!

Fourth of July

No parade in Frisco. There was a festival type thing though. It was beyond hot..more like a furnace or surface of the sun type feeling. We did not stay long. Fireworks were to begin at 9:50 (actually started at 10:15) but we did not stay for those. Kyler was fast asleep in his crib by that point. Kyler got to see some clowns and firetrucks before we left. The pictures show his very first views of clowns ever, although we are still not even sure he noticed the clowns since he was captivated by the firetruck and ambulance lights the whole time. Oh, he also saw a cow in person for the first time too..Borden milk had Elsie there for the kids. I didn't get a pic of that, but he was really interested in touching her fur.
Pictured at the top is Claire, Kyler's current girlfriend. He was glad he got to see her there also before we left.
