Kyler is 8 months old!



Sorry about no post in a while...my mind has been elsewhere the past week or so.
Anyway, Kyler hit the 8 month mark last week, Monday. His stats are 19 lbs 2 oz and 29.5 inches long (no appointment this month, just from our measurements at home).

He is really getting around now. His mode of choice is the roll which he will do all around the room. He also like to scoot/crawl backwards, and with no rear view mirror, he often ends up under the table. He also loves to stand while holding onto things: coffee table, his toy car, piano, etc. Chris even saw him pull himself up once on his own with his piano. But when Chris yelled for me to come in and see, it startled Kyler and he took a spill. (But we'll go on Chris word.)

Standing tall


Rolling around (Yes that is a dog chew toy next to him and yes he has been known to chew them)

We are working franticly to babyproof the house. You just don't realize something is a danger until you see your kid's face inches from it. We actually just got this cover for the fireplace and it works great. We had a hard time finding something because ours is stone and uneven. I found this place on line that sends you pieces based on your exact measurements and it covers the whole hearth, not just the edges. It was $100 but I think it is totally worth it. Anyone who needs something like this should check it out at www.babysafetyfoam.com.

Kyler has also moved onto some finger food. He likes the baby puff things. At first though, he would just open his mouth REAL wide and cry if you didn't put one in his mouth. Now he is managing on his own.



Is this how you play football? Apparently, if you're the Eagles!

Adorable pictures! I love the one next to the chew toy! (Jake prefers Ruthie's chew toys to his baby toys too).

Is Chris snapping these pics with his Canon Rebel? I've gotta get my camera on your little sweet pea soon!

Hey Kelly- Yeah, most of these pics are with Chris' camera-some I took and some he took. It really does make a difference compared to the usual stuff from my camera. Send me an email and we can schedule a new photo shoot for the little guy. And Carla- I'll see you Tuesday- Can't wait to catch up!

Hey- I call it like I see it. Why would you punt with less than 2 minutes left in the game, when our defense hadn't been stopping them from moving the ball???? I guess we can blame this one on the coaches!

Fortunately I slept through the second half of that "game". Thank God for Indy!! If we can't watch the Eagles in the SB it's at least somewhat comforting to know that we don't have to watch the Patriots either!

I agree Kristen. Even though I don't think Stephanie cared much for Payton Manning when she was in college, I much rather see them in the SB then New England....again.

Love them pics of my grandboy!! When I was looking at work, several people commented on how beautiful and flawless Kyler's skin is!! We have huge 20 inch flat screen monitors now, so pretty much anyone that walks by can see!!
