Kyle's First Tailgate and Spartan Game

Kyle had a blast at his first tailgate and football game! The weather was sunny and pretty hot...a beautiful day for Spartan football! He loved trying to get to beer bottles to suck on and meet all his new Spartan friends. And he learned how to scream and cheer at the game and even started to do the fight song a little bit (waving his arms is close enough!). He did greaaaaat for a 14 hour day from leaving home to getting back home at night! And he's a good luck charm because we won against Notre Dame! (even though they're not that good this year)

I know, I know

So, as you will see below, I have posted many of the things that have happened in the past month. Can you tell Laura went back to school?!? It was a very chaotic beginning to school in a long time, but we are now settling in...if only Adam didn't have to work until 10 or later many nights. We were supposed to take Kyle to his first MSU tailgate and game today, but it has been raining non-stop all day. So instead, I had to clean the house before I went crazy from stuff being everywhere. 9 months is such a fun age! Kyle finally crawls the "real" way, instead of scooting, and along with pulling himself up on EVERYTHING, he apparently thinks he knows how to walk like us because he just lets go of whatever he's holding onto. He will be walking before we know it! He tried ham today and absolutely loved it! We knew this because every spoonful, he kept licking his lips...a lot! And his first word is book! Well, he says gook! but every time he sees a book or we pick one up, he says Gook! I don't think I could be more proud (that's the teacher in me). He has been so cuddly lately and gives lots of hugs and seems to have adjusted well to his new "school" after a few weeks of some rough days here and there. We love our little guy so much! Now, if we could just get Adam home from work at a decent hour, life would be even better! And it's not even tax season yet! So, sorry I have not been blogging on a regular basis! I will work on it. That's all for now folks! XOXO

Curious

Kyle was very curious about his Grandpa's hair and mustache. His Grandpa was so nice and let him pull at them. And isn't his outfit cute. Thanks Aunt Linda!

Labor Day Weekend on Lake Michigan

We usually have the Kirklin family reunion at Adam's Aunt Rosie's and Uncle John's at their cottage on Lake Michigan in South Haven during the 4th of July, but were lucky to get there for Labor Day. It seemed a bit quieter than usual, but it was great to see everyone. Kyle loved going in the water for the first time with his dad. And the sunsets were absolutely beautiful! And the weather could not have been more perfect! Kyle had fun meeting the twins, Keegan and Elliott (hope it's spelled right) and loved meeting Missy, the Boston Terrier (see video). Thanks for having us Rosie and John! We had a blast!

A walk in the park

So, on a night that Adam actually was able to get home before dark (which used to be 8 or 9 ish), the three of us walked to a little park in our neighborhood where Kyle loves to swing! He is such a happy camper!

Kyle meets the fam...in Ohio

So we finally had the chance to get down to Ohio and meet Kyle's Great Grandma and Grandpa Pitstick, Aunt Lynn and Uncle Tom and family, and Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve and family. He loved meeting them all and enjoying seeing the farm for the first time (especially all the pigs). And he gave Great-Grandma extra cuddles after just coming home from her knee surgery.

Kyle rides a Deer

Kyle loved visiting his Aunt Lynn and Uncle Tom's house in Ohio and taking his first spin on a John Deer!
