8 Months Old 18Dec05
Christmas is coming. We have learned one undeniable truth. Babies can not resist playing with the Christmas tree. It continues to be a challenge keeping Kyle away from the tree, decorations and presents. I remember having a similar fascination with all the lights and shinny ornaments as a small kid. My parents are laughing themselves silly, as Kyle pays us back for all the mischief I caused when I was a kid.
It has been an unusually cold and snowy December. Kyle and Renee have been mostly confined to the house. Kyle continues to look for new things to explore. He is into everything! Renee and I both know that he understands the word “No”, because this is the word he hears from us most often, with the exception of his name! Unfortunately, when we tell him “No”, it only stops him about 30% of the time.
Kyle now weighs over 20.5 pounds. His lower front tooth has emerged and is now visible. The week after Thanksgiving, he sat up on his own for the first time. It wasn’t more then a week after that event, when he pulled himself up to a standing position using the downstairs bookshelf. In the weeks following, he has become a master at climbing onto furniture, with his favorite being the coffee tables in the great room. He is now able to crawl on all fours, but when he is in a hurry, he returns to the tired and true “Sniper crawl”. Now that he is standing, we have been practicing walking with him. He is just starting to “Furniture walk”, moving from table to couch to table using each object for stability and balance. It will not be long before he is freely walking…
As mentioned in a previous post, Kyle enjoys bath time. A few weeks ago we had an unfortunate event during bath time. We refer to it as the UFO – an Unidentified Floating Object. Although this must have been entertaining for Kyle, it was quite a mess for his parents.
We have several Christmas presents for Kyle, and will post photos of the big event in January.
We wish everyone a happy holidays and healthy and safe new year.

7 Months Old 18Nov05
Winter is coming, like it or not. We received our first snow fall last week. Kyle is in good spirits, as he is oblivious to the coming season. He is now crawling, or what we refer to as the “Sniper Crawl”, where he is on his chest. Although we are overjoyed of this achievement, it has its drawbacks. Everything is now becoming within his reach, like it or not! He is able to pursue his curiosities, with only mom and dad to stop him. He is also becoming more vocal, and expresses his moods with “Baby-talk”. We have been encouraging this. He is eating solid baby food at an astonishing rate. He is eating 7 to 9 (4 oz) bottles of food per day! We think he is having his growth spurt. He is also learning to drink from a “sippy” cup. I can’t say that he likes the cup better then the bottle, but we are working on it. In his last visit to the doctor, he received his 6 month booster shots, and weighed in at 20 lbs. He is now 27 ½” long.
Kyle received kind gifts from Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy. They sent a set of Winnie-the-pooh pajamas, rattle and book. We have included a photo of Kyle in his pajamas, with the rattle. Karl’s Aunt Linda Vitali made a beautiful quilt Christmas stocking for Kyle. We also included a photo. Thanks!
We look forward to a wonderful holiday season. Warm wishes of health and happiness to all.
