Kinnick--8 Months

I seriously can not believe how much my little boy has grown up in the last couple of months. He has changed so much! Last week he was crawling around the kitchen as I was cooking and he pulled out some Tupperware bowls that Sadie used to play with a lot. When I saw him do that I wanted to cry b/c it was such a reminder of how much both of them have grown... Kinnick is ALWAYS on the move. He doesn't sit still at all. He still does his funny crawl (he gets on hands & knees and thrusts himself forward onto his belly), but he has become VERY efficient at it. He also bear walks on his hands & feet at times. He continues to be smiley & laid back--we really enjoy him a lot!
He finally started sitting up by himself... Yeah!

...and about a day after he started sitting he pulled himself up. He not likes to pull up on everything and has even started cruising a bit.

Kinnick LOVES table food. He reminds me of his sister in this aspect. He eats it faster than I can get it too him and he yells if he is not getting food fast enough. Since he started table food, he doesn't really like anything that I have to feed him w/ a spoon (besides yogurt--he really enjoys that!) If he sees anyone w/ food he gets himself to them quickly.

Since he has started sitting, we've been putting him in the big bathtub (although he is usually on his belly kicking up a storm!) He loves the bathtub and Sadie loves taking baths with him.

His favorite summer activities are swinging & swimming. He went in the sandbox for the first time today and enjoyed that also. We go for stroller rides everyday, but he is usually pretty mellow during those times. Yesterday we tried the bike trailer for the first time--he enjoyed that also.
