Six Years

Six years old today. 

Hard to believe that Kyle joined us that long ago. It seems like yesterday. He was feisty from the time he entered this world and he still is.  He gave me challenges that I never had with my oldest. Different challenges. He cried. A LOT. That first year was full of crying. 

Then he turned one. At that point, he became independent and the crying stopped. He learned to do things for himself. It was a GREAT turning point for him. 

From that point on, life has been a learning experience for him. He takes in everything around him. He lets us know when he thinks we're wrong and he's right (which is almost all of the time). He tells me "I love you" at least 5 times at random moments throughout the day. He has very strong opinions on how he should be living his life. He wants to be outside almost all of the time. 

Kyle has been such a great kid. He keeps me on my toes. I never know what he's going to come up with next. 

I am looking forward to watching him grow and develop more and more throughout the years.

He's gone from this:

                                             

To this:

                                                              

In the blink of an eye.

Happy birthday, Kyle! I love you!
