dumb jock
Posted by kyden on Wednesday May 19, 2010 Under Uncategorized
throughout my life, i’ve been reaching my physical developmental milestones early. i cut my first teeth when i was 3.5 months old. i rolled over before 4 months. i pulled myself up to a standing position before 6.5 months. i started crawling when i was 6.5 months old. i can’t walk by myself yet, but i try all the time, so i fall down all the time. my goal is to walk on my own before my 9 month birthday. (over/under bets, anyone?)
i have not been so quick to reach my verbal developmental milestones, however. sure, i can babble a bit. and some days, i’m chattier than others. but i’m not a chatterbox like cousin zoey was at my age. and, i think that some kids my age can already say “mama” and “dada”, but my vocabulary mostly consists of “ba ba”, “ah boo”, and “uh buh”.
so… i’m strong and athletic, i hurt myself all the time, and i don’t have much to say. that’s why mommy calls me a dumb jock.
and as long as i’ve been labeled a dumb jock, i’m going to act like one. check out the photos. yup, i got inked. all pro athletes have cool tats, right? what do you think my elmo tat does for my manly image? and i have been fueling up by eating a lot. and i mean, a LOT. and i’m not talking about baby mush, either. i’ve been munching on whole pieces of apple, pear, broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, etc. that’s the great thing about having so many teeth — i can bite and chew. (i have 8 teeth now!)
game on!

Kyden, I like your Elmo tattoo! You look like a tough guy and other kids will not to mess with you. But, I know your a softy at heart. At least you have been when I’ve been around you. Yay for Elmo!

Hey Kyden,
I hear those tatoo things come in packs… Got any extras for me?
Can’t believe that you have 8 teeth already…my 3rd tooth is finally coming in and that eating thing…My mommy told me that you have to give me tips. I kind of suck at it since I went to the Dr’s last week and found out I was only 1% in the weight chart….
I finally mastered the crawling thing, but the standing up thing is still kind of scary for me…

Hey Ky, my nickname is “B-TANK” I think yours is going to be “K-TANK” because you are a TANK! you look all grown up in your pic with your tattoo! Where is my BABY Ky that use to fall asleep when I held him? Stop growing until I see you, or else I will make you give me a piggy back ride before I give you one!

@auntie ting: i love elmo too — but don’t tell anyone. please don’t tell anyone what a softie i am, either. i’m trying to maintain my tough guy image
@matthew: sorry, i don’t have any extra tattoos. i got mine in a goodie bag at my buddy’s birthday party. don’t worry about being 1%. at least you don’t have to worry about neck rolls and triple chins. and your mommy and daddy don’t have to worry about hurting their backs when they’re carrying you around!
@uncle david: i added a “like” feature to my blog, just for you
@auntie barb: i can’t wait for you to come visit me and see how much i’ve grown. you won’t be able to get me to fall asleep in your arms because i’ll squirm loose and crawl around to show you how fast i am! K-TANK is not a bad nickname. it matches my tough guy image waaay more than the baby names that mommy and daddy have been calling me!
