Kael at 23 Months

Our Little Koala Bear. He loves climbing trees. Kael outside our apartment. He LOVES playing outside all the time.
Kael in a nutshell: Climber, Dancer, Hugger, Big Brother, Energetic

The list goes on and on. This busy boy is growing up way to fast. His first day at our new wards nursery was a learning experience. Our new ward is very organized and Kael just had a hard time sitting still through singing time. We have been working very hard and Kael has gotten so much better. His favorite song is Book of Mormon Stories. Why? Because he gets to go boom boom with his hands through the song and he LOVES that.

He has become quite the climber. He is always jumping on the furniture and climbing across couches any chance he can get. He wanted a toy in Eden’s crib and somehow managed to get up into her crib while I was in the bathroom. Luckily he hasn’t learned how to get out of his crib yet, so I feel lucky about that.

Kael loves to hug EVERYONE. He doesn’t always hug, but he will go up to just about any kid on the playground and try to give them a hug. The other day we had our friends Christian and Kenna and their little boy Oscar over and Kael went to give Oscar a great big bear hug and poor Oscar was off balance and the two of them fell and Oscar’s head hit the entertainment center and cracked it. Poor kid has a tough head. It sure scared Kael, but it hasn’t stopped him from trying to hug everyone.

Another person Kael has tried to hug was the ENT doctor he saw this morning, Dr. Muntz. However, I don’t think he wanted to hug Kael back. It was kind of a shock for Kael to not have someone pay attention to him and he came back to me with a sad face and needed mom to hug him for a bit. Some good news is that we are going to watch Kael right now to make sure he doesn’t have sleep apnea. I have to get up at 3 am to go in for 15 minutes every night to check for certain signs the doctor told me about. Not fun for me, but it will be nice to make sure he DOESN’T need surgery. We went over what will happen if he does end up needing surgery, and I hope we don’t have to go that route. The doctor did say Kael does have large tonsils, but that alone is not reason enough for surgery, and that makes me happy!

Kael loves to be with Eden. He is always putting his head close to hers because he knows he isn’t allowed to pick her up or grab her. He tries to put her pacifier in her mouth, but she doesn’t quite appreciate that yet… He sees me do it so he tries to “help”. He is such a sweet boy.

Kael has been doing music time and coloring time lately. His favorite song is “Muffin Man”. He gets so excited and starts doing this silly dance. He is getting really good at coloring with crayons too.

Kael has been getting bored during bath time for some reason and has taken to destroying our TINY bathroom. He seems to be able to get into everything unfortunately. He got into some oils and poored them all over everything, then he put all of the wash cloths in the bathtub with him, and a roll of toilet paper as well… Busy little boy.

I dropped something the other day and said “uh oh” and Kael repeated it, so I told Kael to say uh oh and he did. It was the cutest!

And last, but certainly not least… Kael’s naps have been so off lately and I can’t get a good schedule down for him since we moved. Church is at 9, and so we don’t get home until around 12. Kael used to have a nap around 10ish, but not anymore. He is so hungry when we get home from church, but he is also so tired, so we try to get him fed quickly before he sleeps. Kael is the kid who can’t fall asleep anywhere besides his bed. He fights sleep the whole time.

Sunday we found him like this…


Kael you bring so much joy to our family! We love you so much and love seeing you grow. Your happy, smiling, energetic face makes it so worth it to get up every morning. Love you bud!
