8 Months

I know I am horrible that it is 5 days later and I am just now getting to celebrate KK is 8 months old. I was very frustrated on his actual birthday because of course I couldn't get him to give me the perfect smile and picture for his 8 months. UGH!! Now I know it is not that serious but for me I take it so personal. For whatever reason he goes stone cold when I bring out the big camera. I know it is that huge flash but the pictures come out so nice when I get to use it. He also will only smile if Gavin is behind me making faces at him. Kiernan LOVES his brother Gavin and I mean LOVES him. When it is just me KK is okay but if Gavin is home he is always smiling at him. I took a few sweet shots outside. He really liked the grass and the leaves.

This is the only smile I could get that day when I was by myself.

And here are the smiles with Gavin behind me.

Cutie Pie!!

Kiernan is rocking on all fours and just around the corner from crawling. The daycare says they think he is going to skip crawling and head straight to walking. He loves to hold on to hands and walk everywhere. He can be totally crying sitting there and I pull him up on his feet and he instantly stops crying and starts looking at his feet to see what he is doing.

He loves green beans, squash and sweet potatoes. I am going to finish up my 1 Gerber foods and step him up to the 2's. I also introduced him to yogurt yesterday. He seems to like it. He wants anything the boys have in their hands. He will play on the floor but recently would rather be in the bouncer so he can be up on his feet. Yesterday he played in it for hours as Dad, Roy and I played basketball all afternoon. He is still not a great napper and needs it to be super quiet to even go to sleep. I think he has bounced back from the flu but is still fussy and coughing so I hope he isn't still battling ears of throat problems that I am overlooking. He is getting a little more hair but still rather bald. Supposedly he waves bye bye but I have yet to see him do it. He is also Mr. Bitter!! He has top and bottom front teeth in and his top incisors are almost all the way through. Don't put your finger anywhere close to him month or he might bite it off and be careful playing with him because he will drop his head and bite ya in a second. Happy 8 month son!!
