Kyle got his 11th tooth on November 19th, and his 12th tooth on November 22nd. So, his teeth were just coming in one after the other there for a while! He is currently teething...working on another 4 teeth all at the same time. They are his "cuspid" teeth that are all trying to come in right now. Then he has his last set of molars and he will be done! He'll have a full mouth of teeth, amazing! It seems like he was just born, gosh it goes fast!
Here's a cute picture of Kyle helping Mommy vacuum. I'm not sure I ever shared this photo, but it's too cute not to post. :)
Kyle helping Mommy vacuum. :) This was in September 2009, and Kyle was 13 months old.

Say Cheese....actually, I think he was eating egg. :) 16 months old
We had photo shoot in November, Kyle was almost 14 months old. We used a couple of the photos for our Christmas cards, so many of you might recognize those. :) Photos at a park with a lake at 14 months was definitely a challenge. Kyle wanted to play in the water, and it was 9am and in the shade. It was chilly! He did end up muddy and wet by the end of it, and we took him home in a diaper! Mommy didn't really plan for a change of clothes, oops! I'll know for next time! :) These are only a few of many adorable shots we got of Kyle.
The Buchanan Family (Kyle 14 months old)
It was our first Christmas in AZ this year, and my first Christmas without my family. We had Christmas here at our house, and I cooked breakfast for my in-laws. I made my mom's recipe for "jelly pancakes", bacon, eggs, fruit, and bagels. It was a nice morning of the kids (Kyle and Xander) opening their toys...and us adults enjoying each others company over breakfast. :)
Our Christmas Tree...isn't it pretty?!!!
Kyle slept in Christmas morning and was a little shy at first...that didn't last but a minute....
Kyle was 17 months old this Christmas

Merry Christmas 2009 From the Buchanan Family!
A couple days after Christmas some of Josh's family went to the Desert Museum with Josh's Uncle Lee and his wife, who were visiting from Oregon for the holidays. Here's a picture of Kyle from that trip.
So, I think that covers Christmas. In December Josh and I took Kyle up Mt. Lemmon to play in the snow. Here are a couple photos from that trip. Isn't he just the cutest!!???? He LOVED the snow!!!!
So, that brings us pretty current. The only other huge thing that happened, was on January 12, 2010...Kyle pooped in the toilet for the first time. I think it was kinda a fluke, but hey, it was exciting!!! He was in the bath tub and by using his body language he let us know that he needed to go poop (he was even pointing at the toilet!). We put the kid seat on the big toilet, Kyle on the toilet, and there you have it! We have not done any other potty training since...I really don't think he's fully ready for it. When he's ready, we will proceed...but he is awfully young and we don't want him to feel pressured. He will do it in his own time. :)
We have been shopping at local farmer's markets for the past few months, after watching the film Food, Inc. We have changed the way we eat and shop! I highly recommend watching that film, it is an eye opener!!!
Kyle will be 18 months old on the 26th...so only a few more days to go! I can't believe how fast this last year and a half has flown by! I have finally started going to the gym every day to work out. I am determined to get back to my sexy self from a few years ago. :) Unfortunately I can't blame all the fat on "baby fat", because I lost all my pregnancy pounds in the first 6 weeks of Kyle's life from nursing him. So...it's all me....and I am determined to get it off this year before my 30th Birthday! I am already showing progress, and am very excited for the wonderful year ahead!! Happy 2010!!!
