Whew! That’s about all I can say right now! I know I am two
month behind on my blogs but I am going to combine the past two.
Month Seven:
To sum it up, we have a busy little boy! During month seven
Kolt took off crawling and he has yet to stop! He also started pulling up which
resulted in the baby bed being lowered all the way. His favorite new sound he
developed in month seven was growling like a “dinosaur”! He jabbers away all
the time. He decided on his own to start waving hello when someone comes up to
him. When he gets excited about something he starts clapping. His fine motor
skills amaze us. He loves to sit and pick at things, especially tags!
During month seven, Kolt and his friend Cannon went to the
zoo in Hattiesburg. They enjoyed looking at the different scenery, despite the
heat! I definitely complained more about the heat than he did! Also that afternoon, Kyle, Kolt, and I
drove to Jackson to the Wildlife Extravaganza. Kolt loved riding in his
stroller looking at all of the booths. That Sunday afternoon we rode out with
daddy to check his deer cameras. Kolt is following in daddy’s footsteps.
The biggest adjust during month seven was mommy going to
work. Kolt started going to his Mimi’s everyday while mommy and daddy go to
work. We are so blessed that we don’t have to worry about him during the day,
we know he is in wonderful hands. School starting back has worn mommy and daddy
out, and Kolt too! He has started going to sleep much earlier at night!
Month Eight:
I don’t want to be one of those moms who always say “I can’t
believe it has been 8 months” but time really flies by when you’re having
fun! Our family is now in a
“school routine”. Mommy gets up and leaves for work at 6. Daddy gets Kolt up
and ready and drops him off with MiMi at 7. Mommy picks him up in the
afternoons and we head home to wait for daddy to get home from football
practice. Things are about to get even more fun when we throw football games in
the mix on Thursday & Friday nights!
Just when we think we have things put up so Kolt can’t reach
them, he changes things to a whole new level! He pulls up on everything to
stand and hold on with one hand. His new trick is to stand by the coffee table
and beat it like a drum! He gets more and more brave every day. He keeps trying
to take a few steps, which makes me very nervous! He loves to crawl with a toy
in hand. He has two speeds: sneaky (which is slow) and turbo! He makes new
sounds every day like telling me (very clearly) “NO” when I asked if he had a
poopoo diaper on, which it turned out he was telling the truth!
Last weekend Kolt and I got to go and watch daddy play
baseball. He was such a trooper to be there all day and in and out of the heat!
I know he will love going to the football games this year! Tomorrow Kolt will
start in his new nursery class at church, which is bitter sweet. We sure do
love the sweet ladies that have taken care of him since he started!
And yes, while I type this I have a little boy that wants to
help type!! I have had to backspace several times. He also likes to unplug my
computer. I know these were late,
but better late than never!
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures
forever.” Psalm 107:1
