8 Months and Ties

8 MONTHS
Kayzee will be 8 months old tomorrow May 4.  Time is going by too quickly.  But I don't mind because I can't wait for summer so I can be home with my two adorable children.

At 8 months Memphis was devouring all kinds of food, sleeping 13 hours at night, crawling and walking holding onto things and standing by himself.

At 8 months Kayzee is FINALLY eating a couple bites of baby cereal and baby food but seriously only a couple bites.  She LOVES biter biscuits and yogurt melts.  She is sleeping about 8pm to 8am most nights.  Once in awhile she will wake up to have a bottle at 6am.  She is scooting backwards and rolling around the room.  She is trying so hard to crawl.  I can tell she wants to so bad but her chubby body just won't cooperate.  She is definitely not developing as fast as my 9 month walker Memphis but THAT IS OK!  I don't mind her taking her time and being my precious little baby girl just a little bit longer:)

TIES
Awhile ago I asked how moms kept ties on their sons for church.  Most said wait till they are older.  I guess that was all Memphis needed.  He now LOVES to wear a tie to church.  He picks out the one he wants to wear each Sunday.  And it stays on the whole time.  Sometimes he doesn't want to take it off when he gets home.

And since he has discovered ties, some weekdays I actually find him dressing himself and the tie is a definite must!

Memphis surprises me everyday with new words and phrases and songs that he knows.  Since I work obviously he is learning new things at Day Care and he LOVES NURSERY.  If his teachers are not there he gets so sad.  He loves giving his teachers hugs and his favorite part is when they put a table half up and let him slide down.  One thing that I will be forever grateful for is the nursery's clean-up routine.  I have never really had Memphis clean up his room or toys around the house so I decided it was time to start.  I had no idea he knew this but I just started singing the clean-up song and picking up his toys hoping he would see my example and to my surprise he started singing along and he cleaned the whole house!  THANKYOU NURSERY!!!  He helps clean up every night now.  He also surprised me and sang wheels on the bus for me:)  So awesome.  He can sing along with his favorite cartoon songs and can count to 5.  My son is growing up:(

The only thing I don't like that he has learned is to hide or put things between us so that I can't catch him.  It is really annoying sometimes.  But sometimes it is hard to get mad at him.  This morning when we were getting in the car to go to Day Care he ran around to the other side of Danny's car and when I started to go around to get him he just ran around to the opposite side.  He kept the car between us knowing I couldn't reach him and he is too fast for me.  He thought it was funny and kept laughing and I couldn't act mad because I couldn't stop laughing so yes we were late but oh well.  I know that is why he keeps doing it because I just laugh along with him.  I LOVE my son.  He makes me laugh so hard everyday.  And he still loves to give me hugs and kisses.

MY KIDS ARE SO PRECIOUS TO ME
