So many Photos. . .so much cuteness
We are entering Kyle in a "Cutest Baby" Photo Contest. Here are the finalists, with the "winner" at the bottom. (Okay--followed by Daddy's favorites.) I don't really care if he wins or not--I just think people like looking at photos of babies.

"I love you, Mommy, but how could you do this to me?"
Chillin' on the floor

"I'm happy now, but they'd better not try to turn me over for 'Tummy Time!'"
That's the stuff. . .

I really need to record him drinking so I can play it back for him years from now. It's something like:
"Num."
Suck. Suck.
"Num."
Repeat.
"Num."
Suck. Suck.
"Num."
Repeat.

He's either looking in the mirror at himself, or looking up at his favorite buddy--Mr. Ceiling Fan.

From the same morning as the above shot. The sunlight was creating some nice golden tones.
Life's a Happy Song. . .

. . .Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Instead of cards, we asked people to sign books for Kyle. He has a nice selection to choose from.
I think this one would be great for the contest--look at that smile!-- but they don't want parents in the pics.

Leaving the show ring

Kyle went to the Van Buren County Fair, where his cousin was showing a pig for 4-H. He slept through it all. As we left the show ring, I dropped back and took a series of him on his mom's shoulder.
And the winner is. . .

Mom says this one is cutest, so it's the one we're entering. This was taken in the show ring. It was a HOT day--it always is at the Van Buren County Fair--but there was a nice breeze. As he does everywhere he goes, Kyle made many new friends, even though he was asleep. . .
Daddy's favorite

Daddy loves this goofy Elvis/Billy Idol grin. What kind of trouble is that boy concocting? (I know what you're thinking, and no, he wasn't concocting a diaperful of trouble!)
A full tummy

Mommy and Daddy both really like this photo. . .but we didn't know if everybody else would like it as much as we do.
The boy has had his fill and is on his way to dreamland. Look how much he's grown!
