8 months

I know their actual 8 month birthday isn’t until tomorrow….deal with it!  Like every month, I can’t believe they’re 8 months old.  This has been a good month for the K’s.  They’re both really starting to progress and are definitely interacting more with us and are fun to watch!

Little Mr. Kaden is developing so well!!!  He’s very verbal and loves to yell talk to everyone!  He has the best open mouth smile I’ve ever seen and as long as he’s being held he’s a very laid back kid!!!!  He is eating like a champ!!  (Remember I make their baby food and freeze it in ice cube trays…so I talk in portions of ice cubes!!)  He eats 2 veggie cubes, 2 fruit cubes, and once rice cereal cube every afternoon in addition to his 5 6 oz bottles!  This month we’re planning to add breakfast to the menu!!!  He weighed in this month at 17lbs 13 oz and was 25 1/4 inches long.  He’s in the 16th percentile for weight and is getting closer to the chart for height!

Miss Karsyn is just cruising right along!  She amazes me every day!!  She has started smiling and giggling a ton for us!  She has the most precious little smile that definitely melts mommy and daddy’s heart a bit!  She is starting to “jabber” a bit more and is definitely one of the best babies I’ve ever seen!!!  She is so content playing by herself and definitely doesn’t require as much one on one attention as another little boy whose name starts with a K!  We started feeding Karsyn a little bit everyday.  She has a pretty big gag reflux (courtesy of mommy and grandanny) and has a hard time with most foods…but we’re practicing and she’s getting better everyday.  Dr. Isenhower isn’t worried because she’s growing perfectly without it right now!  We took Karsyn to see Dr. Dauser the other day (neurosurgeon) and she was looking so good he doesn’t want to see her for 3 months!!  WOW – my calendar just opened up a TON!  She continues to progress with her therapy once a week and her head control is SO much better!!!  She weighed in this month at 13lbs 6 oz and was 24 3/4 inches long….still not on the charts for an 8 month old…but she’s growing!!

Dr. Isenhower said they’re both looking great!  We’re so pleased with how well they’re both doing!  They’re both receiving their synagis shots to help protect them against RSV but even still their exposure to the outside world will be very limited until April.  We definitely don’t want to take any chances!!  So to all our friends we’re still here, we’re still alive and hopefully we’ll see you in April!!!!

Few pictures of the K’s just hanging out!
