He can't crawl, but he CAN clap!

My baby can clap!! Yes, I know...it's sad the things ai get excited about......He's not curing cancer or anything....but it's a big deal to me....



And here are some pics from yesterday:






"I wear my sunglasses at night..."


Kyan and Lily had a dance off....


Lily was just blown away by the funny joke Kyan was telling her:

On all Fours!

We're making progress, here.....Yes, it was me who put him on his knees, but when I did that before, his legs shot right back out-Now, he'll actually stay that way for up to 90 seconds....AND, he'll rock back and forth like he IS thinking about it...

This one is of Ky riding his friend Jojo's toy car.


This is Kyan's latest attempt at crawling:


Kyan is now learning to pick food up to eat it....he been munching on Gerber Graduate Banana Puffs all week-a nutritionally empty food if I ever saw one, but it IS helping him develop his motor skills.

And here is a clip from my newest favorite comedy show: That Mitchell and Webb Look
Behold..."The Green Clarinet of Embarrassing Truths"


And lastly.....My family will again be participating in the Annual "Walk to DeFeat ALS"......As many of you know, my Uncle Bob suffers from this debilitating and terminal disease, for which there is no cure, so this is a cause very close to my heart. While I cannot make it down to PA for the walk myself, I still wanted to post a link so that if anyone has a mind to, they can donate to my family's team, Wolfie's Warriors.

And now for the kid....

Kyan is quite the talker...MAMAMAMAMAMA, DADADADADADADADADADA........PPPHHHHTTTT!!

Still no teeth, and still no crawling, but, if he is anything like me, it'll be a while still.....I may have been a late bloomer, but here I am, all grown up, AND able to tie my own shoes. Kyan's already ahead of me cause I was still bald at his age. I was a bald, toothless, mute blob......

Anyway, On with the pictures!

He's a supermodel......(Blue Steel!)

House Beautiful?

I FINALLY took pictures of my painted Living Room, Front Hallway, and Kitchen.....it's only taken me months....

We'll start with most recent and work our way back:

Here is our red kitchen (complete with a new stove, courtesy of Jon's parents) Wall Color is AUTUMN MAPLE:


Eating Area:




Back doors that lead out onto the deck (sorry so dark-Guess I'm not very good at this)


Living Room (Wall color is BAKED SCONE)


All those toys are mine, by the way




Hallway Leading into Kitchen (Wall Color is DESERT SMOKE-I think)


Hallway leading into Living Room



So, as you can see, we've been quite busy......Next on the list.....Our powder room, or perhaps our bedroom...The bedroom will probably be a pale blue, to go with the comforter we just bought. We're also hoping to eventually (in the next 2 years?)get new bedroom furniture...Probably this set from Bob's Discount Furntiure (whose commercials I HATE), but who have decent deals on furniture:


We are also getting Chain link fencing in our backyard in the next few weeks. We were going to get white vinyl fencing, but that stuff is CRAZY expensive.....Chain link fencing is about one quarter of what white vinyl fencing would be, and I can get some pretty plant to grow up it......So at least now the dog can run freely, and Kyan won;t be able to run into the street. YAY!

Splish Splash

Is there anything cuter than pictures of a chubby little baby in the bathtub?? I think not.....





Kyan has many rubber duckies, Thanks to Grammie Pammie.....This is Christmas Duck (note the Santa cap)..he also has Mexican duck (with sombrero), Bad Ass duck (tattooed and with an earring), Thanksgiving Duck (in a pilgrim hat)...and on and on...


Kyan doing his best Virgin Mary impression




Kyan has ALWAYS loved it when I type onthe keyboard-he always wants to type too. Fortunately, I had an old wireless keyboard lying around that does not work anymore...it's his new favorite toy-he will happily bang away on it for an hour......Maybe I have a future computer geek on my hands?

Happy St. Patricks Day...

From my Lucky Charm! :-)













Kyan wishes you a Happy and inebriated St. Patrick's Day!
