Many faces

The weather is getting cooler and Kinsler is growing. This past month he has sprouted new interests and is learning and doing so much. He still loves to read, I catch him laying on the floor looking at his books all the time. He is now into the "boy" phase of playing with trucks and cars. Everything makes a noise too, he can make them honk with a "beep beep" or pretend they have have a whistle that makes a "hoo hoo" sound. His new favorite thing to do is work on puzzles, unfortunately at the moment we only have one puzzle for him to play with but we've been to the library to work on theirs and the church has tons in his nursery room. He loves coming to tell me about the animals on his puzzle. He continues to love to go outside and run around and slide on his little play toy. We are going to be in the market for a swing set/play house soon I'm afraid because our little slide does not hold his interest like the one at the park. (What a great idea for Christmas or birthday you grandparents that read this) :) He also likes to shoot baskets when we go outside. He continues to add new words to his vocabulary daily. I'm amazed at the words he picks up on. I hear a lot about daddy during the day, this kid LOVES his dad! In the morning when he gets up he yells for daddy and is a little upset when it's me who picks him up. He immediately runs to find Chris before I can tell him daddy left for work. When we pass the school or the gym he yells for daddy too. This kid is smart! Kinsler is now eating roughly 7 times a day! He eats breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with several snacks thrown in! It is kind of astonishing to see how much he eats! I fear for our checkbook when he gets older and I buy groceries for a teenager.
Every day offers new adventures as I watch him grow. It has taken me a long time to be okay with staying home during this season of life but, when I reflect on all I've watched him do I am so very thankful for this time. I know that when I get a job (hopefully) I will be crushed to leave him everyday.
