Team Schultz: May 2008

So if I were to grade Kyle on his crawling efforts, he would definitely get an "E" for effort. In fact the kid is so smart, he's managed to do his own type of crawl. We call it the "butt scoot!" He has one leg, that is terribly rashed, tucked under his bootie while the other one is used to push. Once the pushing happens, he extends that tucked leg and starts the process over. (See pictures below to get an idea.) He's a genius I tell you. It isn't technically a crawl BUT the kid has it perfected to a science. HE IS EVERYWHERE IN RECORD TIME! As if that wasn't enough, he gets another "E" for effort in the trying to stand up department. Day to day is a new adventure for this little guy. Of course, he loves his adoring audiences and rewards them with a big smile for noticing his accomplishments.

Kyle's fifth tooth came in. He's drooling a lot so I'm sure more are coming. He's eating the Gerber meats pretty well. They are still soft like baby food, but at least he is acquiring the taste. He likes eating the star and wheel puffs. He can eat the wheel like a big boy, holding and chewing it well. The stars are really little so he has to get a little bit of help from mama with those. He's a sippy cup champ! No more drenched shirts! Kyle's specialty. . . playing! He can play forever! He loves his red wagon, walker, jump-a-roo, playing ball, and still plays with his toys like he's never seen them before.

On my first Mother's Day, Kyle was dedicated to our church, Chandler Christian Church. This means that the parents vow to raise him as a Christian. Kyle will decide later when he is ready to be baptized. This was a very special day for Team Schultz. Yes, I cried! :) Daddy and Kyle did a great job spoiling me on this day as well. I got to sleep in (Yes!!!!), had my car cleaned, breakfast made for me, AND they bought me a beautiful wake board! Yeah, my boys spoil me!
