I have said before that he never cries, well that has changed slightly. He never cries, unless you are not shoveling food at him quickly enough. This kid can eat! He seems to be fine until you put him in his highchair. This somehow signifies to him that food should be coming ASAP. He gets a little panicky...cute, but also annoying! :)
Watching his and Mckinley's relationship develop is the highlight of my life. Kyan adores her and she is starting to really take on this big sister thing (both the good and bad! :) ). I am still in awe of the fact that I have TWO kids. It is the most fun and rewarding experience of my life!
But back to Kyan specifics, here are some highlights of this past month:
* You are cruising along with your army crawling. An update however, since you are actually 9 1/2 months as I write this...just today (Christmas!) we said you officially crawl normally. You still prefer the army crawl for quickness, but you do crawl like a normal little baby! :)
* You eat so well! We started you on real food just shy of your 9 month birthday and you did great! You love everything. You are still getting 3 bottles a day as well. Some of your faves so far include lasagna, waffles, and peas! Really though, you devour everything!
* Still an awesome sleeper. We dropped your third nap this month though, so you are down to just two 2-2 1/2 hour naps. You also sleep about 12-12.5 hours at night! However you are not as stuck on your schedule as your sister was. You are a bit more flexible--but actually in a kind of difficult way. We will think it is time for you to take a nap and then you will lay awake for 30 minutes talking or wake up 30 minutes early. You do stick pretty much to your schedule, but sometimes you throw us for a loop. You will however sleep in a stroller, which Mckinley would never do!
* You still are the best snuggler. When you are tired, you will stick your thumb in your mouth and just fall onto our chest. So sweet!
* You are gigantic! You weigh 23ish lbs. Your cousin Kylee, who is 4 months older than you, weighs the same as you (and she isn't tiny!). Funny considering you were born a month early!
* You love to babble---lots of "g", "g", "g's". Still no mama or dada though. :(
* Mckinley is still your best friend. All she has to do is walk past you and you gasp! You are actually starting to play with her now though (you do not even mind when she yanks a toy away from you!).
* We celebrated your first Thanksgiving! We spent it at Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Brian's with lots of family! You actually slept through dinner though--it was nap time!
* You had your first adventure to get a Christmas tree--it was freezing, but lots of fun.
* You have loved attacking the presents under the tree and trying to eat the Christmas lights!
* A couple of 9 1/2 month milestones---you pulled to a stand last night (Christmas Eve) and today you went from crawling to a sitting position on your own! You are changing so fast!!
Kyan we love you so much and are SO happy to get to watch you learn and grow every day! I will be back in about two weeks with a 10 month update :).
