Sir Laughsalot

This has got to be the happiest boy on the planet. He smiles and laughs all day long. His nickname at daycare is Mr. Smiley, and the other parents know him as "that kid who smiles so much". What a great reputation!

PS - We have uploaded a new album of Kyler's latest and greatest photo moments at http://picasaweb.google.com/erichwsimon

Re-post of old pix - Kyler is 6 months!

A re-post of an older blog since the photos didn't show up... Ok, it's been awhile since we blogged. Kyler is growing leaps and bounds! Eating solids, sitting up, reaching for things and getting angry when he can't have them (!).

A few pix from our recent adventures: Mr. K tries on mommy's hat during a camping trip in South Lake Tahoe.

He smiles and laughs all day long, at anyone who will smile at him.

Nana Sarah came to visit for a week - we almost didn't let her go!

Most days, now that it's warm in the evening, we try to give Kyler some outside naked time. He hasn't peed on us yet, but it's a matter of time :)

Kyler is 6 1/2 and 7 months

Erich and Kyler are kickin' it old school in an Oaktown park. Dad has been teaching Mr K the critical elements to being an innercity hipster. Maybe not the best teacher....

The Boy is sitting up and rolling over and reaching for toys, hair, cats, carpets, and fine china. Finally bought a set of plastic wear for mealtime.

Nana and Papa were here to visit for 3 days. We worked 'em into the ground! Laundry, childcare, cooking common meal with me for 32 people, Nana took the night shift for two nights... word has it they returned to LA exhaused. But mom and dad got 2 good night's sleep so we felt great. :)

One of our favorite times of the day is playing in bed in the mornings. Joyfull bliss...
