8 Months Old! (yeah, this post is LATE!)

(This was written a week or so after Kaylin turned 8 months, but I'm just now getting around to posting it. Told you October was going to be busy!)

Kaylin turned 8 months old on our anniversary - Oct. 2. I can't believe I'm this late on her monthly post, but we've been crazy busy around here! We had a great time seeing Kelly, although after this I don't know if she'll be invited back:

Just kidding, Kelly. We wish you lived closer so we could see you more often.

So, back to Kaylin. She's doing so many fun things now - crawling, eating more foods, and she even used a sippy cup for the first time this month. She says Da-Da, blows raspberries and rolls her tongue. She still loves playing peek-a-boo and splashing in the bathtub.


She had her first double ear infection this month. Poor thing. She's on amoxicillin now and she loves it. (a much better experience for both of us this time around) She actually fusses when she's finished taking it. Sorry, sweetie, I can't give you more!

It's hard to find the right words to describe how amazing and wonderful she is. She is growing and changing so quickly that I'm afraid I'll forget the funny little way she crawls or the way she pats me on the back when I'm carrying her. I'm trying to tuck all these moments away for safe keeping - for when she's a 3 year-old throwing tantrums or a teenager rolling her eyes. I love this little girl more than I had imagined was possible.
