Kevin is 8 months

Sorry this post is a little late, things have been pretty busy! On Sunday Kevin turned 8 months old. He is growing each day. 5 months ago he could only reach the floor in his jumperoo by using a thick phone book. Now he is on the highest level and can almost reach flat footed. Our little boy is growing so quickly!

He has now mastered pulling himself up and he likes to hold on to the sofa and walk down the length of it. He is also working on letting go of one piece of furniture and grabbing onto another. He can grab the other piece with no problems. He just hasn't figured out how to move his feet. So he usually drops to the floor and then stands up holding on to the other piece of furniture.

His two teeth are really coming in now and they don't seem to bother him any. He does like gnawing on things though, especially on the left side of his mouth. He has also begun eating finger foods like Gerber Puffs and cheerios. It is cute to watch him gum them and hear that little crunch. He loves to grab them from you and then shove them in his mouth. And when he drops one he just stares at it and then reaches for a new piece from you.

Next month we have a checkup so we will find out then how much he weighs and how tall he is. It does seem like he is getting taller and stretching out a bit.

I will post some new photos when I get a chance. :-) Amy
