The McClamrocks: Kylen is 8 months!

Our little man just keeps growing and growing! He is now 8 months. He still uses anything and everything to pull himself up to stand. Lately the kitchen has been extra appealing to him. He has learned to open the cabinets so this weekend they will be baby proofed. All four teeth are in on top and his fourth tooth is poking through on the bottom. His bites are now super painful and he loves to do it. Except when I yelp with pain, then it scares him and he goes into instant cry mode. He has been quite the mama's boy lately. He wants to be held all the time and is not happy when he is put down. I have to make sure there is something to entertain him when I set him down. Andrew and I bought him two walkers this weekend (can you say spoiled!). One he sits in and walks around. This one is tough for him because of our carpet. He has one at each of the grandma's (again, very spoiled) and they both have tile where he can cruise around easily. He is getting better on the carpet but he still gets frustrated. The other one we got is a walker where he can stand and hold on while learning to walk. He will walk with it for a few steps but then he falls to his knees and pushes it that way. He is a quick learner so it shouldn't take him too much time till he figures out how to use it.

His silly snort face!

I was having trouble a few weeks ago getting him to eat. At first he would spit all his food out, then he went though really fussy stage and now he is doing better and eating most of his food. He is NOT a fan of the highchair. But he will just have to get used to it! I still can't get him to eat peas or green beans. I haven't tried in awhile so maybe it will be different now, hopefully. He still loves his Baby MumMums, thank goodness because they give mama a break! He also still likes his fresh food feeder. I put an apple slice in there today and he seemed to really like it. Everything I eat, he wants a bite of. Especially if it is fruit. I always let him try a little but which probably does not help the problem.

His giggles are to die for! Andrew talks like the Hulk (Hogan-I have no idea how it started) but Kylen thinks it is hilarious. He also loves when we make funny noises or say goofy things. He lets out these cute little chuckles. I absolutely love them.

We are still up once a night. I can't complain too much since he goes right back to sleep when I give him a bottle. He wakes up around 6:30am but I wait to get him till 7 still.Since the weather has been so nice, we have started taking morning walks to the park. Once we get to the park he swings and loves it. Lately he has only been taking one nap a day- not really sure I am happy about that. The one nap he takes is about 2.5 to 3 hours long. Last night he slept through the whole night. That means I didn't sleep since I was up every hour to make sure he was okay. I don't sleep if he doesn't and I don't sleep when he does.. I just can't win!
