I’ve been good, I’ve been busy I’ve realized my friend’s true intentions Cut all ties

Yesterday was about as awesome a Wednesday as anyone can have. I guess the main reason for that was the kid. He was totally gnarly. It all started with him waking up really early (6:15 I think) but not crying. Instead he made these really amazing cooing sounds. I peeked in on him around 6:45 and he had his legs straight up and was forcing both hands into his mouth. Absolutely adorable! As my morning routine dictates I packed the car up and then went in his room to get him around 7. He was all smiles and giggles and even gave me a little laugh when I got my morning baby hug. After changing him he started sticking his tongue out while grinning,

All of that is beyond cute but once we got in the car he really brought his A material.

I usually listen to some sort of Sports Radio in the morning because I always figured that it would be more relaxing for the kid. Last week I started putting music on and Kyle was a little indifferent towards it. So far I’ve tried Johnny Cash ‘Live at Folsom Prison’ (loved it), Miles Davis ‘Kind of Blue’ (loved it), The Lawrence Arms ‘Oh Calcutta’ (seemed a little scared) and Bruce Springsteen “Nebraska’ (no reaction at all). Well yesterday I put on ‘Emergency and I’ by The Dismemberment Plan and the kid went nuts. He started cooing along with ‘What Do You Want Me to Say?’ like he was singing along. I looked in the back seat and he was just smiling and singing. Then he got real quiet during ‘The Jitters’ like he understood that it was a slower sad song and then by the time ‘You Are Invited’ hit he was looking out the window and laughing. It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had with him. I’m thinking that he’ll respond really well to harmonies so next week I’ll try ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’ and ‘Abbey Road’. I’m excited.

I guess he is at the age where something new happens everyday so I’ll try my dardest to document it here.
