life update

Kyle turns 8 months on Wednesday. 8 MONTHS! What?! He'll be 1 before we know it. Last night after Kyle went to bed, Brian and I were watching a rerun from last season's How I Met Your Mother. [For all you HIMYM fans: it was the one where Lily and Marshal decide to let Lily's dad babysit Marvin.] At the end of the episode, they showed a montage of Marvin with his grandpa through the years - leading up to his first day at school - and I lost it. I was ugly crying on the couch for a good 10 minutes. I guess the mommy saps hit me when I least expect it.

The past couple of weeks have been pretty uneventful. Kyle got over his cold and we've settled into our family routine, and I'm loving it. I love that I'm home with Kyle most of the week, but still have a chance to work outside and inside the home. Our days are filled with making/eating solids (both successfully and unsuccessfully on the making and eating fronts), lots of playtime, running errands and walks with Penny. Kyle's naps have been epic (1.5 hrs in the morning, 2-2.5 hrs in the afternoon), giving me lots of time to do some work from home and still have a chance to get some relaxing/housework in. Most nights, Brian has been getting home in time to feed Kyle his veggie, give him a bath and get in some playtime/reading before his 8 pm bedtime. Life is great and I'm feeling extremely blessed.

Here's some pics from the last couple of weeks with Kyle:

carrots!

All he wants to do is STAND!
At all times.
But he still needs help getting there.
He pulled himself up on the coffee table once, and it didn't end well. 

I'm trying to get the hang of making food.
This week, I did green beans, zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes and squash.
Yesterday, the green beans went in the trash but the carrots were a success.
His tastes change every day.
 I still need to figure out freezing/storage.

Too cool for the swing.

Bath time with dad!

Kyle decided he liked sucking his thumb for 2 days,
but I think he forgot about it.
He hasn't done it in a few days now.

Family night at Mammie's house = playtime with cousin Jake.

Still trying his hardest to crawl to Penny. Soon!!!
