Kyran 9 months

My baby is seeming to not be a baby so much anymore... It's kind of sad but I have enjoyed every age and love it right now. Kyran loves cruising through the house. He can crawl so fast now. He started crawling on Halloween (almost 8 months). It's so cute to watch him to try and do new things. He starting pulling himself into a sitting position by himself on Oct, 24. Now he's trying to pull himself up to stand. He basically can do it just needs to be a little stronger. He started to crawl up the stairs at my sisters house (Suzanne). I don't let him really try at our house cause we don't have carpet before going up the stairs and I worry he would get hurt. So now he can crawl up 2 stairs so far. It's so cute to see how determined he is do do new things. He still doesn't like to be on his own for too long. He's still a momma's boy and wants me to hold him all the time. It's so cute when he chases me and follows me around and cries at my feet trying to pull himself up to me. He's always is saying momma. He started around 6 months saying momma and dadda. I think he understands now who momma and dadda is when he says it. It's cute when he cries for me. I don't know how long it will last of him being a momma's boy but I will enjoy it as long as he does. I'm sure he will turn into a daddy's boy when he's older.

Kyran is eating just about everything now (except the things he can't have until a year). He loves eating off our plates. He loves normal food but still eats baby food about 3 times a day. He nurses about every 4 hours. I'm so glad I've been able to nurse for this long! It will be kind of sad once I stop. He's not a fan really of bottles. He used to love them but recently he just pushes it out of his mouth with his tongue. He's a very good eater though and will eat just about everything he tastes. I hope that stays too. He still just loves to cuddle with me. I just love cuddle time. Something I think a mom never wants to go away. Kyran has a mixture I think, of mine and Morgan's personality. He's very affectionate, sensitive and shy at times like me but then he's very outgoing and friendly like Morgan. He's always smiling! I just love that about him. He's a very happy baby. He's starting to give kisses and wave. I just love his kisses!

We took Kyran in for his 9 month appointment last week. He's one big boy! He's 31 inches and that puts him into over the 100 percentile... I didn't know that was possible. The Dr. said he looks like a 1 year old. I hope he keeps up this growing thing. It makes Morgan happy! He really would love for him to play in the NBA or NFL. We will see if he even likes sports, which I'm thinking he will. He hasn't really gained much weight since his 6 month appointment. He's gained just a few more ounces. He's 21 lb 9 oz. He's been really active since he started rolling now crawling everywhere. I'm worried for when he starts walking but excited at the same time. I just want him to stay my baby forever!

We discovered Kyran loves balloons. I got Morgan some balloons for his birthday. Kyran was always trying to get them. Then I decided to put it down by his face, then hit it towards him. He went hysterical. He couldn't stop laughing. It was so funny. This is a few days after we started doing it. He just makes us laugh so hard. The simple things they love that make them happy!



These were taken when he was really sick. It was a bad few weeks. He had really high fevers. It was up to 104.5 a few times. He was really congested and had a bad runny nose. We tried irrigating out his nose a few times. He absolutely hatted that. It helped though. When we took him to the Dr. there wasn't anything they could do for them. I hate when we can't help our babies. He was up just about all night for a week. We were all very exhausted. Morgan was sick too. Luckily I never got sick. He had a blessing and after that the next day his fever was gone and he started to get better. I'm so thankful for the Priesthood! I truly believe in blessings.

He just loves door stoppers. He loves flicking them.

Trying to climb the stairs...

This was when he was probably the sickest. His eyes started to swell up. The Dr. said we could give him a little Benadryl. I think it helped a little. We felt so bad for him. It was so sad to see him like this... He was absolutely miserable!

He loves to suck on the medal on my diaper bag. It's so funny. He just goes up to it and sucks. It's must feel good on his gums. He got caught in the act here. Silly boy.

Such a happy baby!

This picture makes me laugh. He looks pretty flexible.

Eating his bananas. He loves eating them by himself.

This is what he started doing last week. He's pulling himself up everywhere and walking a little while holding on. He tumbles to the ground a lot too... He's getting so strong! He'll be walking soon. I could see it happening within 2 months but we will see.

He loves touching the Christmas tree and grabbing it. He loves to try and get the ornaments. He doesn't really listen when we say no anymore. He used to cry when we said no. He thinks it's kind of funny now...
