just because

It has been a little while since I've put up a picture of Kyalo and I didn't want you to think I was going to give that up. Never! Just had a few things to work through on this here blog. 

A random assortment of pictures from the last 10 days. . .

personal hygiene is very important to Kyalo - wants to keep his breath minty and his teeth white. never mind that he doesn't have any.  And, *ahem*, he might be using Papa's old toothbrush.  But that's besides the point.

He really loves fruit, and I gave him a piece (seeds removed) yesterday and was able to get a few things done without him directly underfoot.  

(too many mango pictures? sorry)

Dexter got a whole bunch of mangoes from a hospital employee for about 35 CENTS and so we've been enjoying a lot of ripe, juicy, flavorful mango around here. We talk about making juice or sorbet with them, but they're so good as they are it is hard to imagine we'll get to that.  Kyalo certainly enjoys them . . .even if he makes a huge mess of himself.

Kyalo likes to make sure the machine is washing his clothes properly!  I love this photo.  How cute does he look in his new jeans from Grandma? (Yes, grandma, they're a little long, but he'll grow into them soon enough. I couldn't wait to get him in them!)

* A little update about sleep.  Already, it is getting better!  I guess I just needed to have some pep talks from other mothers, and accept that it would be HARD.  No sleeping through the night yet (that would be too perfect) but naps are getting longer, and the time he sleeps at night is extended.  I feel so much better, and I think Kyalo seems happier.  Thanks for your words of encouragement or your prayers.  It has certainly helped!
