Ecstatic about Spongebob

As you can see, Kyler was thrilled to snap a pic with Spongebob. I just thought this was a funny pic to post. This was taken on the Kimah boardwalk.

First Time Eating Pizza and Riding a Carousel

Uncle Brian is in town visiting before he has to go back to school on Monday (in his senior year of high school!) so we went out to eat at CA Pizza Kitchen. I ordered Kyler a cheese pizza off of the kids menu, and he ate practically the WHOLE thing! Afterward, we went into the mall, and he rode on the carousel. He is into horses right now so he absolutely loved it!

First Time Seeing the Ocean

Here is a picture of Kyler viewing the ocean for the very first time. We were at the Kimah boardwalk the same weekend of his first birthday bash at the Roth house (Aug. 1st). Sorry, the events have been posted out of order on this blog. We had planned on going to the big aquarium in Galveston that day, but we had a little trouble getting Kyler to take a nap back at the hotel, which threw our day COMPLETELY off schedule. So, we scrapped Galveston and went to eat at the Aquarium restaurant in Kemah...Kyler still got to see an aquarium and we ate dinner at the same time! It was a really fun time!

Kyler's Birthday Party Finale (at the Hoods')

I am pretty sure most kids don't have three parties but I guess the first year for the first grandchild on both sides is pretty special. Grandma Hood hosted the third party for Kyler. He was still a little under the weather and extremely tired but still had a blast opening gifts! He didn't eat any cake this time, as I ate his piece :)but hey, I snapped a pic before I ate it. It was too delicious to have him smash it all over the place. Thanks, family and friends, for making these parties extra special for little Kyler!!

The Second Party ( at Our House)!

Of course we had to have cake at our house on his actual birthday!Poor baby was sick though. He caught Jamie's terrible cold and had a low grade fever that morning with a runny nose. Poor thing! I think he has taken it better than Jamie did though! Haha!

One Year Old Today!

We can't believe he is one already! One year ago today I was awoken at 1:00 AM by hearing and feeling a "pop" as my water broke. We got to the hospital and by 5:30 was holding him. We are blessed with such a sweet natured, happy baby! Thanks to the Lord up above!
Now, this little man does enjoy being photographed if it is done quickly. It has gotten harder and harder to get him to sit still with the bear though. My little cousin came up to babysit and celebrate his birthday with us and she was exhausted trying to get him to sit.

Kyler's First 1st Birthday Bash!

At Kyler's first 1st birthday party, in Kingwood, I think he was completely exhausted and sleep deprived from the weekend's festivities in Houston and Clear Lake, so his happy disposition did not shine that day. I think we would have seen more smiles and gleeful screams than we actually observed. Nonetheless, he opened some wonderful gifts and then attempted to eat a piece of cake. He didn't seem to know what to do with the gooey piece of strawberry shortcake placed in front of him. After his cousin Charlie showed him what to do, he finally started to eat it in a relatively clean manner (well, cleaner than I expected).
