Beautiful Weather!

The weather was warm enough and not raining so we were able to go outside for a little while, Kylie had a great time!

love the look on her face!

getting tired

big surprise, she managed to get her sock off :)

8 Months!

I just can't believe that Kylie is already 8 months old, it has gone by so fast and she is growing up so much!  Here are some things about Kylie at 8 months old.

*an expert at sitting up and catches herself if she starts to fall and pulls herself back to sitting position

*has tried to pull herself into a standing position when she's sitting down

*right now can only move backward, but each day she is getting closer and closer to crawling forward, she gets up on all fours and sometimes throws herself forward to get a toy that's out of reach

*sleeping habits aren't near as good as they used to be, but I'm hoping that they are getting better, she wakes up a couple of times a night right now, sometimes I have to hold her, sometimes I can just give a pacifier

*loves to be on the floor playing, noisy toys or anything with a tag are her favorites

*no new teeth, still just the bottom two

*will stand and hold onto something if you put her in the standing position

*takes a couple of steps if you are holding her up

*has a few tv shows on a baby channel that she absolutely loves

*very noisy~talking/babbling all the time and loves to make a shriek also, she tells stories and then when she finishes talking she laughs at whatever she said!

*always tries to take her left sock off and if she gets it off then she chews on it

*picks up and feeds herself puffs and now demands them anytime she sees other people eating

*getting better at a sippy cup

*eats fruits, veggies, just started on meats, yogurt...likes most foods

*waves sometimes~using her whole arm

Loves to shop!

Kylie LOVES being where the action is and is such a people watcher.  Here she is enjoying her trip to Sam's today!  She had already missed her morning nap and it was getting close to time for her afternoon nap and she was still happy to be out and shopping!

Trying to catch up....

Just seems like we have been so busy around here and I'm way behind in posting. 

Kylie is now riding in the shopping cart and sitting in high chairs at restaurants! Kylie's loving being able to sit up and see what's going on and she absolutely loves watching people!  She is now picking up her little veggie flavored puffs, putting them in her mouth, and chewing them!  We let her sit in her high chair and eat puffs while we're eating and she seems to really enjoy it. 

Last week, she had her 2nd flu shot and didn't cry at all, don't even think she knew she got a shot.

Plans are currently being made for Kylie's first vacation and first airplane ride....wish us luck on that one!

If you aren't in the mood for pictures, stop reading here.....consider yourself warned!

no babies were harmed in the taking of this picture...yes, her leg was stuck, but she was not hurt and didn't care at all!
