Kyle's Weigh-in

Kyle had another follow-up appointment for his weight. We could all tell that he felt heavier, so we were hoping for some really good news. We are definitely on the right track with this appetite-inducing medication. He gained over a pound and grew another 1/2 inch! :) Hooray. But before I got the chance to get too excited, we learned that he is still off the growth chart! For his height of 30 inches, the doctor says he should weigh 21 lbs when in reality, he weighs 17 lb 9 oz. However, we are definitely pleased that we are making better progress. And that he's putting more than one bite of food in his mouth at any given time.

In other Kyle news, he continues to amaze us with every new little thing he learns. He is a quick study and loves to show off his new knowledge! He's just begun to say his own name! So far, he knows and accurately uses the following words:
-mama
-papa
-Elmo
-dog
-banana
-no
-airplane
-bird
-hot
-ball
-garage
-coffee (kind of shows just how much of an addict I am!:)
-bike
-moon
-egg
-boat

His first Spanish word:
-tabla (skateboard)

He signs the following words:
-more
-all done
-hi/bye
-eat
-water
-outside
-diaper change

Some of our favorite moments captured lately are:
Another trip to the farm to see his favorite chickens.
"Helping" dad open and shut the "raj" (garage) is a serious job for Kyle. He pulls and then steps out and pulls and steps out. Inch by inch the door opens. :)
Playing hide and seek all by himself! :)

Waving bye to the waves.
He loves the sand with his little shovel.
Helping us cook on the "hot, hot, hot" stove! He especially loves to stir his eggs.
And watching Daddy get ready in the morning. He's super fascinated with shaving. (The guard stays on!!)


So precious.

  2. Mindy, great news about the weight gain!
    It is hilarious that Jack says the exact same (1st 10) words on the list. Elmo and Airplane crack me up. Love it.
