Kyle is almost 11 months old (so begins the scramble realizing we have a one year old birthday party to plan......) and we had our first dr. visit with a clean bill of health since December so we are enjoying every minute. It seems that he may be cursed with the ear infection uck....... He is moving and shaking - getting there on crawling but pulling himself up and unfortunately learning that falling down goes with that - LOVES his big boy bath and in general is a really good spirited baby boy!

His first Easter showing off his farm friends to Nana!

Man, can he lay it on thick!! :)

His favorite toys are the simple stuff (thank goodness) - stacking cups, rings and a water bottle filled with cheerios.

Hangin' with Auntie Casey and Papa J

I love Papa's shaved head!

"I got my spot..."

Literally hangin'! Like we could ever recreate that picture again.....

8 Months old!

We can hardly believe how quickly time flies. Kyle has basically been sick since December but he is a trooper (thank you daycare!). He is sitting up all by himself and loves watching the other big boys running around in his class. We are convinced he will walk before he crawls!

We get the biggest kick out of watching him analyze everything. Every time he picks something up it gets turned over and over in his hands like he is figuring it out (OK, maybe he has a little OCD.....).

Kyle's new thing is standing. The world seems like a much more interesting place to him now that he can see everything. He tries to hold his own bottle and is definitely showing signs of Mr. Independent!! While I am anxious to get back to work, I have appreciated every moment I have had with him these last few months.

3 months old! I can't believe how he has changed in just a few months. At his two month visit he was 13 lb, 1oz and 24.5 inches long so I can't wait to see where he is at 4 months!!

Let's be clear on the jersey - no Bears fans here; I lost a bet on a game recently (thank you Casey!).

Kyle is two months old! Talking like crazy and moving and shaking. It's going to be mayhem at the Bauman house when he is up on his legs!!!
