Learning Life's Lessons: 8 Months (a little + a month late!)

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do,

do it all for the glory of God.

1 Cor. 10:31

Stats: Honestly no idea since no dr visit -- but he seems to be getting bigger and not taller as evidenced by a little belly. I don't think he'll ever gain enough to get rid of those cute chicken legs though. :)

Development:

Professional crawler -- this kid can move fast! And he moves the fastest when he notices that baby gates aren't up. YIKES!
Eating more and more foods, but no baby food. He just gave up on baby food, I got tired of trying and he just is much more content with finger foods, so thats what he gets. :) Favorites right now are cucumbers and tortillas. Loves water if it is out of Mommy's water bottle or glass.
Stand up on all furniture. You might inch along on the furniture, but not really moving once standing. But you do love to stand up using pant legs to indicate PICK ME UP! And if the pulling on the pant leg doesn't get you picked up, you start yelling as if anyone could not know you were there. :)
Favorite toy: the front door. He will stand there for up to 15 minutes just staring out.
TICKLISH! His feet are ticklih, his back, his legs, his neck....just plain TICKLISH!
Signs 'more' and 'milk', but just sporadically.
His favorite things to chew on are cords of any kind -- you know, things he isn't allowed to have.

Kylerisms:

Got lots of Aunt Missy time this month because Mommy started a job and is/was searching for a babysitter. He does great with others, eating and sleeping, but I struggled alot especially on the 1st night of not being there to put him to sleep.
Loves to be thrown up in the air and to be tipped upside down.
Got kicked out of the baby class at church and moved up the 1 year class. They said he was too mobile! ha! Sounds about right to me! :)
Got so excited about trick or treaters coming to the door, he let go of the door to clap and then face planted into the door b/c he can't stand alone. After a good wail and huge bump, he was fine again and back standing at the door.
when he holds a balloon, something snaps in him and he has to shake, shake, shake it til we are both dizzy. :)
