Kyler is 8 months old today! Our little man is growing and changing every day. These past couple of days he has started making this new noise, I don't even know how to describe it, he sounds like a dinosaur or something, it's deep in his throat. Every time he does it Erik and I just have to laugh! Kyler has become much more vocal this month. He is starting to talk more and for longer periods of time. He will babble and say ah-dah-dah-ba-ba-ba-ba just while he sits on the floor and plays. He throws in a "ma-ma-ma-ma" every now and then too, but he doesn't know what he's saying yet! :)
We keep working on the food thing. He is doing really well with cereal, he is actually wanting to eat it now and is doing pretty well keeping it in his mouth. We have also tried carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, pears, and some bites of banana. He seems to like the sweet potatoes the best. I tried to give him carrots again tonight for dinner but he had no desire to eat them. He also loves to drink out of a sippy cup. His favorite thing to drink is water, we have given him diluted white grape juice too, which he also likes.
Kyler is working on crawling, but he's not there yet. He rolls over all the time and then once he gets to his belly he just wants to go. He gets frustrated VERY easily. A couple times he has gotten up on all fours for a few seconds but that's about it. Usually he ends up rolling over to his side because he is mad. He also scoots backwards whenever he tries to crawl.
Kyler's personality is really starting to come out. Tonight at the dinner table he would sit there and go "Ahhhh" really loud. Then Erik will do it back to him and he will do it again. He just kept yelling and making different noises, very loudly. It's funny because whenever I take him to the grocery store or Walmart everyone always comments how quiet and relaxed he is....if they only saw him at home! :)
Sleeping is still not going the greatest. After Thanksgiving, Kyler quit taking good naps during the day. He will sleep for like a half hour and then when he is rocked back to sleep as soon as you lay him down he wakes up-no matter how long you rock him. So....we are working on him putting himself to sleep in his crib... :)
Well that's all for this month, can't wait to see what the next month brings! Our little man may be on the move by then!
Merry Christmas!
When I get tired of eating food...I just chew on my bib! :)
Big boy!
Reading books with mommy
Daddy thought I needed some lotion to look like war paint... :)
Kyler ALWAYS tries to take his hat off. One night when I got home from the Wednesday night meal at church, I opened the van to see him like this! I laughed pretty hard.
All bundled up for probably the last walk of the year
Chillin' in the bath tub
Happy boy!
Working on crawling!
Sweet boy :)
