I re-read my post the other day and realized, wow, it's been awhile. And then I realized, I think I say that almost every blogpost. Oh well. Kelsey is definitely not 8 months old and we are living a much changed life since this last blog post. This may be the start of an attempt to update... maybe.
Kelsey is no longer 8 months old! She is growing, growing, growing, and getting so fun. I think this is my favorite stage ever. She's talkative, says Mama all the time, flaps her arms when Dad comes home, and she is starting to understand me better. She is also getting to sleep so much better which helps. I love watching her change. She's getting smarter with her toys, learning to push buttons, eating tons of food with her pincher fingers, figuring out how to read her books without mom there, and trying every day to stand up from a crawling position (doesn't get too far with her head on the ground). She loves to scoot around the house on the wood floor and is so proud of herself when she can pull ornaments off the tree. The best part lately is that she thinks she is hilarious all the time. She puts something on her head and starts cracking up. She gets an ornament to spin on the floor and laughs. Just tonight, we were driving to a church function and she started cracking up in the back at what seemed like nothing. She laughed for a good 5 minutes, from the belly, which resulted in Corey and I laughing, which made her laugh even more and by the time we reached our destination, we were crying from laughing so hard. Who knows what made her laugh or what she was thinking.
