Cool Tricks!!!! COOL TRICKS!!!!

For the record at any moment during the day this is the grin that is ALWAYS on K-Man's faceK-Man is transitioning from being mostly baby with some big boy to big boy with a very small amount of baby. Every time I put him down for a nap he wakes up a different man. Every time I talk to Glama she reminds me that all of the cute and funny things he does will be lost forever if I don't write them down so for this post I am going to share some of our big boy moments of the week.
1. He is a master climber! Not only is he part goat but the stuff he uses to get what he wants is priceless. His favorite go to climbing tools are over turned hampers, unsteady toys and any chair that is not currently occupied. I have not seen him try to climb/ ride the dog but I figure it is a matter of time.
2. We recently found out that he might have an allergy to milk so had to switch back to Soy milk. I have NEVER seen him be more excited in my life when last night I filled his cup with soy as we walked to his room (with me holding his bottle) he ran to his room. We usually make a lengthy stop at Grandma Jo's room for a good night kiss and snuggle but last night was a no dice. He waved at Grandma as he walked by her. It is a good thing Grandma is a good sport and understands K-Man's of soy milk.
3. Last week we were driving to our cousin Parker's Birthday party when K-Man Mooed after Matt called another driver a stupid cow.
4. K-Man is the BEST Gym partner. Our morning routine has now forever changed because he loves to play with the other kids and toys. When I say we are going to the gym he gets his shoes and sits by the door.
5. Speaking of doors he has figured ours out! If I don't keep the front and back door locked he can be found racing down the driveway/ making dirt angels giggling wildly with or without his cloths on

Thanksgiving and some Christmas....Belated


Our Thanksgiving spread and boy was it a lot of food for 3 adults and one toddler. we were nursing these treats for about 3 weeks. about twice a week I cleverly disguise our left over mashed potatoes and turkey. Considering that this was my first Thanksgiving out from under Glama's wing I would say it was a success. Glama was one speed dial the whole morning while I prepared our meal and she was kind enough to give me her secret ingredient....BUTTER. We missed our loud crazy Utah family but it is nice to know we can manage in a pinch!

Cookie Carving our yummy bird


Grandma Jo an Kenneth cheesing it up for the camera. The general consensus was that K-Man was the best dressed at our table. His cute little sweater came from Auntie Mistletoe before he was born! We love these kinds of finds.

I can't believe I am posting this but this shot was taken a couple of days after K-Man took a nose dive off of an end table he had been climbing on and still climbs on. Our man is fearless, it won't be long before he starts scaling the walls like Spider Man. Did I mention he is fearless?
This year we were invited up to our friend's Andy and Hedvigs annual Christmas kick off party, complete with cookie decorating, crafts and a tractor ride around the farms.(unfortunately I only took pictures on the hey ride) We can't wait till next year!
