August Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello everyone! How are you? I am doing well but I have to admit that it's been a rough month for me. Mommy & daddy don't need a calendar to tell when the weekend is here, they just know that when I get sick AGAIN that it must be the weekend. First I came down with a ear infection at the cabin one weekend. Then the next weekend I broke out in hives from the amoxicillin I was taking for my ear infection. So now I am officially allergic to penicillian. Those were pretty horrible as you can see!

But I have a good doctor and they quickly got those cleared up. Then last Friday, I started throwing up and ended up passing it along to Eric, mommy & daddy. Lovely! Well, hopefully September will be a better month healthwise for me.

Despite all that, I never slow down. I am a typical one year old. I am into EVERYTHING and mommy really has to keep an eye on me because I love to climb on things, open things, dump out things ... whatever I can to cause havoc.

I LOVE the tramp! I love to run around in circles on it but being that I am little and completely unpredictable mommy or daddy have to sit on the tramp with me and I have to be on it without my brothers because they really love to bounce me. I can often be found trying to climb the tramp ladder to get onto the tramp and standing there crying because I can't. Mommy knows it's only a matter of time before I can get up there on my own and then my time outside in the backyard will have to be even more regulated.

I LOVE going for bike rides. Mommy & daddy finally got bikes of their own and mommy's has a seat on the back of hers for me and I love it. When they take me off I cry and try to get back in it.

I LOVE reading books. Well, I love dumping out all the baskets of books. And I love being read to but I don't like anyone else to hold the book or turn the pages ... I get to do that!

I LOVE the computer. I climb up on the chair and love to push the buttons! And I get very angry when people don't move and let me take over.

And I LOVE toys. If anyone takes a toy from me OR if they have a toy that looks cool and I decide that I want it I scream and cry like someone just punched me in the gut. What a stinker I am!

But despite all the trouble that I can get into I am a wonderful baby and mommy & daddy love me. I love my dad and could cuddle into his shoulder forever!

I hope that things are going well for you all. I would love to hear from you.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel
