Kevin - 9 months

So loved by big sister!


Begging for food!






A very funny shot that looks nothing like him!




In the past month, Kevin has perfected his cruising skills! He also loves the bath! Anytime he hears the water running, he comes crawling in to the bathroom right away. Even when it's not bath time, he is always trying to climb into the tub.

Ellie taught him to climb the stairs just after he turned 8 months old. She was so proud of his accomplishment and of her teaching skills. I wasn't as excited about this new development!

He still calls me Dadda. I just started trying to teach him Momma. I'm getting a little tired of being Dadda!

When I bring him into his room at naptime or bedtime, he will start to fuss if the light is off. If it's on, he doesn't seem to notice, but when the light is off, he knows sleep is coming! He usually falls asleep on his own or with a little help. He takes two naps - each about 1.5 hours. He sleeps about 9 to 10 hours at night before wanting to eat between 4 and 5 am. He plays with his hair (or mine) as he drinking his milk and drifing off to sleep.

He gets so excited when Chris comes home. Kevin kicks and squeals and puts on a big smile!

He started getting his second tooth - his bottom right front tooth.

He eats three meals a day plus a snack. He still has not turned away a single food I have offered - including a batch of burnt food I made for him. I didnt realize how awful it tasted until he was almost done, and I tried it myself. Disgusting. I can't believe he ate it so willingly! I didn't realize that adding a small bit of slightly burnt carrots could overpower a big batch of food. I felt bad for serving it to him, but Chris rationalized it this way, "He's just a baby. He doesn't know. He liked it, and it's not going to hurt him." Poor Kevin!
