Ecstatic Eight

A quick overview of what Kirby is doing at 8 months - crazy that I was pregnant with her for a little over 8 months. Where does the time go? It does not seem like 16 months ago I was first pregnant. Weird.

Kirby's new loves:
zuchinini, white potatoes, egg yolks
laughing at her daddy slowly walking towards her
crawling
playing with her musical ball
sitting up big on her mats
laughing at anything that you say that ends in "mmy" (yummy, tummy, mommy)
being with new people
babbling "bbbaaabbbaa"
spoons
my family - starting to recognize them better after being gone for awhile
shoes
fuzzy rugs
real animals
rocking and singing
reading books
Things she does not like: the cold concrete floors that are all over our house

Last Thursday we packed up and made the long haul to Montgomery. Kirby did really well most of the way. She got ansy about the last 20 minutes, but I always get that way about an hour away from there so it is just natural. We were trying to keep her awake and entertained until dinner was ready, so we headed outside to the grass. Grass is something she is not used to because we have no back yard yet! She loved it. I thought the colors in these pictures were really good. About a week ago I posted about Kirby actually taking a few crawling "steps" and then stopping for breaks. Now she goes about ten and then takes her breaks. This morning she even followed me from the bathroom to the bedroom to get my jewelry. It was pretty funny when she finally got to me because she looked back to the bathroom like, "Wow, I went a LONG way!" I just heard from Bethany that Nathan (Kirby's predestined boyfriend) is now walking! He is 11 months. What a go getter. Kirby crawled at 7 1/2, Nathan walked at 11 ... their next date, I mean get together (CR), should be full of chasing each other around and around! Can't wait! This weekend Derrick and Megan got married. Kirby is less hands on this time around, so I actually had a chance to snap a few pictures throughout the weekend festivities. It was a beautiful wedding and they are such a fun couple. I know Steve is smiling proudly for Megan and Ryan and their choices in life-long mates. Rehearsal dinner kisses ... Megan got D a Yeti cooler! D got Megs birthstone rings for Steve and his dad.Ryan and Rachel ... 3 months into their nuptials!The spoons kept Kirby entertained since she was out past her bedtime. By the end of the night, I think we had 7 spoons on the floor.
