11 Months Old & WALKING!

Kyler is OFFICIALLY WALKING! He is exactly 11 months old today. He doesn't walk everywhere (probably because he has a super fast crawl) but he's taking lots of steps! We're so excited. We can't believe how much he's grown and learned in just eleven short months. He's becoming his own person. Just the thought of that makes mama & dada sad! We're so proud of our little love bug!

Arrivederci Bike Night!

As most of you already know, we're selling our Honda CBR 954RR. It's a bitter-sweet goodbye. Before Brian ever brought a single bike home I forbid him to buy one. I've always wanted to ride but never thought it was worth the risk. The selling point for me was the fact that I could ride on the back with my hubby. I hate driving, period. I'd rather be chauffeured around. I think Brian and I finally found common ground when it comes to motorcycles. We both enjoy riding and it's a good way for us to get away for a few hours. However, after my little "accident" we've decided that it's better to sell the bike and wait until Kyler is older to purchase another one. I must also add that my shoulder is 80% healed. The human body is amazing. It doesn't look half as bad as I thought it would! Anyway, let's get back to the point of this blog.

Last night was our LAST ride for a long time. We met up with about 20 people and rode up garden hwy to a taco place next to the American River and ate dinner. Bike night is now a distant memory and so is staring at the pavement while riding a wheelie out at 100mph. LOL! Brian and I both love dangerous stuff and I'm afraid Kyler does too. I'm really going to be in trouble when he's older because I'll have two crazy boys instead of one!

Goodbye sweet bike of ours!

The Final Goodbye

Last night I was cleaning our bedroom when I noticed that Kyler was trying to muscle his newborn swing out of the corner. He wanted to play with it so badly that he was throwing a fit! So, being the mama that I am, I pulled the swing out, set it up, strapped him in, and let him swing for about 10 minutes. He absolutely loved it! He had a grin from ear to ear almost the whole time. I gave him his afternoon bottle to see what his reaction would be and he was actually falling asleep. What a cutie pie! I decided that it probably wasn't a good idea to let him get reattached and put it away. He was so upset! He cried for a solid 15 minutes, and of course I gave in and set it up again in the living room. He played with it for about 20 minutes and I put it away again. I was so afraid that he would fall out of it and hit his head on the wood floor. He's so rough! With that said, his swing is on craigslist. He has officially said his final goodbyes. Poor little man!

Planning Kyler's 1st Birthday Party

Back in May I decided on throwing a luau themed birthday party for Kyler. I have yet to really get started on everything. So far I've made a menu, collected most of the needed addresses for invites, and looked online at party supplies (I know, I'm bad). Considering that Kyler's bday is only a month away is making it seem totally impossible. And as if that isn't enough my poor shoulder is healing from our little motorcycle accident. I'm starting to think that we will postponed Kyler's party for another week. Oh the stresses of being an injured, procrastinating, mama!ting mama! (lol)
