Happy 8 Months Kyden!

8 Months!
Weight: 19 pounds 4 ounces (43%)
Height: 28.5 inches (about)
* We are pretty sure he is a social eater. Even if he just ate if we are he has too
* He has two new teeth on top, but not the middle ones the two side ones
* Has adopted the new nickname White Fang (See above)
*Kyden likes to grind his fangs against his bottom teeth
* He crawls everywhere now, and he is pretty fast
* Likes to get out of the house, like his mom
*He likes to blow raspberries, make funny noises and runs his fingers over his lips to make noises
* Likes to watch the TV, sometimes when we are feeding him he will stare at it and just open his mouth waiting for us to put food in
* His naps and bedtime are getting better! wahoo!
*When he does sleep he arches his back and throws his head back so when we lay him down he looks like a backward banana
* He tries to pull himself up into a standing position and has succeeded a couple of times
* Loves to meet new people and does really well with them. People comment on that a lot
* He loves his new swim pool, and he loves baths
*Kyden experienced thrush :(
*Changing his diaper is almost like wrestling, most times he wins.
*He has a contagious laugh
*He put on 5 ounces in 5 days, he is starting to eat a lot
*He likes mirrors, and looking at people through them
*He is pretty loud now, okay really loud usually when I don't want him to be then he is silent when I want him to be loud.
*When we say "yay" he will clap (most the time)
*He tans super easy like his dad
*Still the happiest kid we know, and he makes us so happy!

You are awesome at keeping track. When it comes time for #3 I want to see if you still do this. (yes, I was on top of it with #1 and mostly #2, but somewhere #3 killed me.) I love the pictures and the updates. He is so stinking cute and just thinking of his laugh makes me laugh. :D
