11 Wonderful Months!

Kevin officially turns 11 months old today. Our little man is growing so quickly! He is now walking with no problems and can even run a little bit. He loves it when I "chase" him around the living room and start tickling him. He is also getting quick at trying to get out of the baby gates, you really have to slide in and out to prevent him from escaping. And if he does escape he heads straight for the cat's food. He also enjoys standing at the gate into the kitchen and shaking it. It sounds alot like an inmate trying to get out of jail. So we joke about who is in jail, him or us?

He is also getting really vocal now. He just starts making the silliest sounds, and even laughs at himself sometimes. There have also been a few times that after we say something he mimics it, and he gets so close that we almost think he is talking. Like yesterday I asked him if he was hungry and he looked at me and said something like "ungry", he wouldn't repeat it, so I'm sure he wasn't "talking" just making sounds. But who knows maybe his first word will come any day now.

Pumpkin Patch

We took Kevin to a pumpkin patch today and got some really great photos. He had a lot of fun walking and crawling around the pumpkins. He also had a fondness of gourds (probably because he could fit them in his mouth). He also met another little boy almost his age. His family was really sweet and let Kevin "push" their wagon. You can find some of the photos in the slideshow but all of them are in Steve's Flickr account.

Watch out! Kevin's on the move.

You can't leave him alone for a moment!

I went to the bathroom this morning and left Kevin happily playing on the floor. And when I came back he had crawled up on his train table and was playing with his car. I have no clue how he got up there, he usually used a toy as a step stool but I had moved them so he couldn't use them. He also let me catch a photo of him "walking". More photos are in the slideshow.

Double digits

Kevin is now in the double digits, he turned 10 months old today. He is always on the move and is having a blast trying to walk everywhere. He has gotten pretty good at taking 3-5 steps at a time, but most the time he still walks down the furniture.

He can now climb up on the couch on his own and if he sees my laptop open he will make a beeline for the couch. He can now climb up in in about 10 seconds, so don't turn your back! He also likes to climb over the back of the couch and grab things off the ledge behind it.

He is also growing each day, he seems to be taller, but I can't prove it (he won't stay still long enough for me to measure him). His hair is also filling out, it is getting long enough to almost think of getting him a hair cut. But not quite.

The last few weeks have been a bit tougher because Kevin got a sore throat and wasn't feeling too well. And we found out that tomatoes don't sit well with his stomach, so that has had him feeling pretty yucky too.

Well I have taken some photos on his "birthday" and you can find them in my picasa account or check them out in the slideshow.

He's on the move

Kevin has now learned how to crawl up on the couch and he is loving being able to run around on it. I have uploaded some great photos into my Picasa account.

He's almost there

Well it looks like Kevin is going to be walking in no time at all. He is now getting really good at standing without holding on. And he can take about 3-4 steps before he falls to his knees or body slams the floor (usually he lands on me or a pillow). He is also enjoying this new found freedom, today he has fun standing and just giggling at his accomplishment.
