Kyle at 14 months old

On Saturday we went to the Oregon Zoo and celebrated Packy the Elephant's 46th birthday. Kyle preferred watching the sea lions.
Every time the sea lion would swim past, Kyle would shout, "Da" (his word for dog). That day, all of the animals were pronounced "da" according to Kyle.
"Look at me, I'm a chimp!" "Da."
"Hee Hee. Look at that funny owl. That's a hoot. Get it? A hoot? I crack myself up."

"Hmm. I wonder if Kona would enjoy playing with some of these animals. She loves kitties, maybe she would enjoy the tigers."

"Rrrrowl. I'm a bear and I'm coming to get you."

"Although I am 75th percentile for height, I sure don't stack up to a Grizzly."

"Hey Grandpa. I'm so happy that your surgery went well. Now, I'm going to reprogram this TV so you have something to do for the next few days while you recover."

Kyle and his friend, Jack. Jack is two weeks older than Kyle and about two inches taller!

**Please note, Kyle is continuing to teeth (he just got all 4 first molars) and generates an amazing amount of drool. We wipe him down about 7000 times a day, but it seems like we still can't take a good photo of him without a long string of drool
