My Little Monkey Man

Monkeys have recently become a theme for Kanyon. I'm not sure how it started, but I feel like he likes monkeys. His GREAT Aunt Nancye sent him this monkey shirt, and the monkey Easter eggs. I think this is the cutest shirt ever. We almost had a monkey birthday party, but I ran out of ideas past this shirt for him to wear and having banana pudding. We're having a bug party, but that's another post. Here are some pics from our little monkey photo shoot we had the other night while Kory was gone playing basketball.

See, his eyes aren't near as red and puffy.
I love this because you can tell how excited he was to be laying there playing. He was having a great time! I also like this pic because it shows off his frog like figure.

Chatting it up with his monkey friends.
I'm not sure if he was eating this monkey or chewing him out for something.
Fav pic because there is a striking similarity between Kanyon and the monkey on his shirt. Widows peak, ears, button nose, grin....love it!
Not a monkey picture, but too good not to post. I curled his spike with my fingers when I got him out of the tub the other night.

On a little sad note, we have officially gotten sick for the first time. It all started Saturday night with me thinking he just wasn't acting right, that continued Sunday and after church Sunday he was running a little bit of a fever. He was fussy and just so sad. He seems to be feeling better today, but his nose is running more and he has more of a cough. I was mostly worried about since we just got out of surgery and the micro preemie thing makes him at high risk for complications. I talked to his Dr. today and it doesn't seem like these things are connected. We have our 1 year well visit Wed. so that will work out good. He said if he's not better by then, he'll do a lung x-ray just to make sure. Until then, I have a great excuse to hold him and rock as much as I want. I knew the first cold or sickness was coming sometime, but the competitor in me had wanted to keep it off til he was 1. missed it by 2 days, dad gum. We are praying for a quick recovery and for his body to fight strong...after all, he has a party to get ready for!
