Happy 8 Months!!

As sweet as Kyle's breath smells, I thought it was time for a new post. And what better time than on his 8 month birthday! Kyle celebrated his big day with a fun playdate at Adam and Remy's. Alex and Rachel also joined in the fun and were impressed with all of Adam's toys. Here's the lowdown on Kyle's 8 month "status:
  • Weighs about 21.5 lbs (don't know how long...we'll find out at his 9 month checkup)
  • Very close to crawling...can inch backwards and pivot 360 but hasn't figured out how to go forward yet (gets up on his knees though, lifting his tummy)
  • Loves saying da (and sometimes dada) and the b sound, and a sweet little utterance that sounds like "hi"
  • Sleeping great at night...usually about 11 hrs straight!! Those middle of the night feedings are (fortunately) just a distant memory now...
  • LOVES spinning things, and is REALLY good at it...not sure what useful life skill this will translate into...maybe an appearance on Wheel of Fortune?
  • LOVES watching and "petting" (i.e. grabbing a big handful of fur and flesh) Benson
  • Eats any and all flavors of his jar food (including "vegetable turkey dinner", which I sampled and tasted neither like vegetable nor turkey)
  • Graduated to the convertible carseat...no more lugging that heavy, clunky carrier around
  • Eye color is still grayish and TBD...probably going to be greenish like Daddy's
That pretty much sums things up...he's just the best little guy and we love him so much :)
