Nyle Turns 1!

 Nyle is 1!  This birthday seems to be such a milestone!  When my kids turn 1, they start sleeping better at night, we move them into the kids bedroom (out of ours), they seem to become more independent and integrated with the rest of the kids.  Overall, it marks the beginning of a little more freedom for me!   
 For his first birthday, we decided to try the Brazilian tradition of having a cake with lots of fruit on top.  Actually, we ended up mixing a few cultures with a Tres Leches cake and the fruit on top.  It was good and Nyle seemed to enjoy it.  




Nyle loves to cuddle his new stuffed animals.

Some fun facts about 1-year-old Nyle:

  • Nyle has slowly been transitioning into toddler-hood.  He took his first steps early in January, and he's just now (Feb. 7) using walking more as a main mode of transportation.  
  • He's a major mess-maker.  Particularly in the kitchen. He loves to get into the trash, under the sink, into the utensils drawer, etc....
  • He loves wheels
  • He's a bit of a risk taker and right now loves to climb on anything he can. 
  • He seems to be my busiest baby, which amuses his siblings, particularly at church.
  • When we go to the library every week, his favorite thing to do is try to shove as many books off the shelf as he can. 
  • He's a mega-momma's boy!
  • He doesn't seem to need a ton of sleep, like Gwen.
  • He's a heart melter with his chubby cheeks and long, dark, eyelashes!
