Kyler's first hikes

Yes, trips is plural. We've been out hiking TWICE in the past week. Feelin' pretty good about ourselves! Last week the little man woke up early and eagerly requested that we take him on a hike (his first!) in the Oakland hills. We reluctantly agreed to the task, but only if he pooped and/or peed in his diaper at least 8 times throughout the day. We think he exceeded his quota. At the end of the hike, whilst he was unsuspectingly asleep and Deanna was relieving herself, Erich took Kyler on his first climbing adventure on the visitor center. Let the games begin! Though he sleeps in the Ergo carrier when we're walking, he is becoming much more alert and observant when he's awake. He can focus much farther and is quite interested in soaking up all the sights around him. Amazing to watch the inner-workings work!
