8 Months!

On the 18th Kyan turned 8 months old. As always, this last month truly did fly by. I feel like I am busier now than ever and that is adding to the quick passage of time. With work and school added to my plate, there seems to be little time for anything else. That unfortunately also seems to put life into warp speed. Kyan is changing so much each day. His little personality shines through more and more, and we are just loving getting to know him. He is sweet as could be, a lover of things funny (almost anything to him), and big on his family. Life with just Kinley, Kev, and me was amazing, but life with Kyan is even better. He brings so much happiness to our lives--I honestly feel like such a lucky mama!

Things Ky is up to at 8 months!

*You army crawl!! You get better and better at this each day too! Not sure if you will turn it into a standard crawl or not, but you definitely get around!
*You still love your food! The number of things you have eaten is amazing too! You haven't really turned your nose up at much either--you could probably do without anything green, but you still take it.
*You have started to enjoy books. Yay! You will sit through a short story, just up until you can't stand the desire to eat the book any longer and you must lunge for it! :)
*You have the best laugh! You also laugh all the time! Pretty much anything Mckinley does near you, you find hysterical!
*Mckinley is easily the best thing in your life! If she shows you any sort of attention, you are beaming! She loves you too (even if she doesn't always show it :) ). She tries to take care of you all the time. She knows your schedule in and out, and tells us when you are awake, when you need baby food, when you should have a bottle. She also tells you goodnight (with hugs and kisses) each night  + a "love you".
*You have two teeth now--both bottom front. I think you are working on a top tooth too.
*Still awesome at sleeping. About 11.5 to 12 hours at night and still three naps!
*You celebrated your first Halloween this month. Honestly, you weren't a big fan! We'll see how next year goes. :)
*Unfortunately, your acid reflux is still an issue. It is much better than when you were only a few months old, but it is still a pain. Hopefully it gets better soon.
*You have an unprecedented love for the TV--something I am not a huge fan of. It is almost impossible to get you to not look at it. At times, I think you would injure yourself before being stopped from watching WordWorld!
*You are still a big boy--you weigh roughly 23.4 lbs and are 29 1/4 inches long.
*You love people! You are definitely not anti-social, as smiles are still received by everyone!
*You are babbling away, but still no mamas or dadas. Keeping my fingers crossed to hear one of these soon!

You are about the best baby ever (sorry Mckinley you had a pretty rough first 6 weeks!)! We just love that you are a part of our family and feel so lucky to share each day with you! Hopefully you know just how much each of us love you! xoxo
