KB Praising Jesus

We caught one of his first times clapping on video. He does it all the time now!

I've had dilemma recently. Lil Miss K here, would just throw awful tantrums when it came to napping. There have been a few days where she would go without a nap and do just fine...no ill effects. It is in now way, shape, or form that I am ready for her to be done with napping so off I went to look for other ideas. I had heard some friends talk about implementing 'rest time' in her room, so I gave it a shot. The first day I told her she could play, but needed to stay in her room and I was going to shut the door...freak out. Didn't work. So, the next day I told her she was going to rest in her room, and we picked out a couple books for her to read. She gladly got up on her bed, and started 'reading' but I was not to shut the door! It worked like a charm! This is one pleased momma! Aaand, the best part about it? 9 times out of 10, she falls asleep anyway. I was so worried that we were getting rid of naps! Now don't get me wrong, bedtime was much more of a breeze when there isn't a nap, but it is so nice to have a break in the day! I hope this works for at least another year?! (one can hope, right!)

Cheerio

"Mom, what in the world have you been holding out on me for?!"

"Lemme see if I can do this..."

"Tasting"

"Ah, they're alright!"

"I think I'll have another..."

KB had his first encounter with cheerios the other day! I don't think he was too sure about it all, I know he will get the hang of it soon though!(*can I note a tremendous difference between the first and second child!!! I would have NEVER fed miss K cheerios for the first time on the ground! HA!)

play me a tune

love.them.

Happy 8 Months Kellan

Kellan! You're 8 Months old! Here's what you've been up to lately:

9-12 month clothing (I still squeeze you in to some 6 or 6-9 month)

size 3 diapers

you're eating 3 solid (baby food) meals a day. Typically you eat 4-6 ounces of yogurt and some fruit in the morning, 4-6 ounces of fruit and veggie for lunch, and a whopping 8 ounces for dinner

you nurse pretty consistently every 3-4 hours, you love that mamma's milk!

I guess then that it's not surprising that you weighed 20lbs 12ounces at the doctor today!

you sleep best right next to your mama, I know it's not a good habit, but it is what it is. We get sleep and we're happy.

You have your two bottom teeth and are currently working on the top 4! Your right middle tooth is through and the left middle is almost through. You've been acting really well, just a lil fussy here and there

we had to go to the doctor today because you've had a fever the past few days. No ear infections, but your throat was red, you're absolutely miserable when you have a fever, all you want to do is to be held by your mama...I wish I could sit and hold you all day!

you are scooting all over the house...you're actually a great floor cleaner. I get disgusted every time I pick you up after you've scooted because there is dog hair all over your shirt and it's even dirty...I could have just swept and mopped, ugh!

you have started to get on your knees, and look like you might start 'crawling' any day now

you make 'ooooo' and 'aaahh' sounds, but nothing that sounds like a word! I can't wait to hear what your first word is going to be, it's a wonder you get any noises in, your sister doesn't stop talking!

you have a head full of light brown/dark blond hair, and some caaarraaazzyy cowlicks...you and your sis look dead on each other right now, she had much darker hair when she was this age though

you're sweet as can be, when you smile, your WHOLE face smiles! I live for those smiles!

You're such a blessing. You have happy, joyful disposition. You love your sister, and put up with a lot. I know that you'll soon out grow her and I've told her a few times that once you're big enough I'm gonna let you take a few swings at her for free...(just kidding, maybe). I've so enjoyed loving you and watching you grow these past eight months! Love you my lil 'buggers'!

(I'll add pics soon!)
