Trip to Florida

Oops. I can't believe I never posted pics. of our trip to Florida. We flew out on Christmas Day and stayed in Redington beach, a few blocks from the ocean. We couldn't ask for better weather-70-80 and sunny everyday (and not hot enough to sweat). It was definitely different being in warm weather, seeing houses decorated with Christmas lights. Kyle loved the pool at the rental house. It was nice and relaxing...until Kyle got sick with a bad earache. Thank goodness he was better on New Year's Day, just in time to go to the Citrus Bowl and watch the Spartans...lose! But we had a fun time with Stacey, Anthony, Brad, Diane, BK, and Wendy. Kyle even managed to get in his nap during the game (refer to E.T.-like picture). It was nice to watch the last sunset of 2008 with good friends, in a warm climate! You know us Michiganders wouldn't be willing to go outdoors to see the sunset on New Year's Eve..wait there is no sun in December!

Kyle's New Dance

Here's a video before his bath with his nicely stained shirt (sorry it's sideways). Kyle's new style dance! He is a headbanger! He is a riot! (We thought it was funny at least).

Belly Laughs

Here is a video of Kyle laughing. I think it was his first true, true belly laugh! It will make anyone smile, even if you're sick (yes, I had a stomach bug once again).

Helping Dad set up the tree

Kyle really liked helping Adam set up the tree. Well, I guess you could say he enjoyed the box the lights came in more. Kyle does enjoy the christmas tree, though. He points at it if it's not on, then claps when we turn it on.

Forts and hide-and-seek

Kyle loves going through tunnels that Adam makes him in the living room as well as going on the side of the couch and waiting for us to find him! Here are a few pictures of Kyle playing.

First Birthday Party

As you can see, it was quite a challenge trying to get about ten one-year olds to pose for a picture at their first birthday party. This is the group of kids we get together with every other week from our Beaumont Parent group. The kids are all within a month of each other.

Kyle's First Birthday

So Kyle officially turns one tomorrow, but we had his party last night and he sure had a blast! He painted his face full of frosting, and then pretty much ruined his mom's sweater with the green frosting. Note to self-do not get another first birthday cake with green frosting! We all had it on our teeth and clothes! Kyle loved all his gifts and is busy playing with them all day! More pics to come, but I am exhausted and going to bed!
