Time seems to be flying by these days! It really feels like Kloey is growing and changing each and every day! Kloey has mastered the roll and steam rolls around rooms to get to different items that she wants. It’s funny because if a desired toy is just out of reach, rather than try and thrust herself one centimeter forward, she will roll onto her back and completely forget what she wanted in the change of scenery — from the carpet to the ceiling! Like Kayden, there doesn’t seem to be ANYTHING that this child is so motivated to have that she’ll pull a leg under her and crawl for it! If she can’t reach it, OH WELL!! Unlike Kayden, however, Kloey moves! She no longer gets upset by rolling off the carpet onto the wood floors. She does, however, get upset when she finds herself under a table or partially stuck under the couch. 🙂 Kloey is babbling more and more these days. I’m pretty sure she thinks it’s funny to say Da-Da all day, because I always say ‘No Da-Da, Say MA-MA!!” She always giggles when I say this! Kloey still loves her bouncer and Mommy loves that because it allows me some freedom to get things done! Kloey loves to clap, play patti-cake, and is super ticklish! She is a great sleeper and takes great naps during the day! She is learning to roll with the punches as her sister tries to hold her hand, hug her until she falls over, or play tug-of-war with her (Kloey’s got a great grip!). And finally, I am proud to say that Kloey is FINALLY getting some teeth! We were pretty sure she was teething back in November! The fun part about this is that she is getting her two UPPER teeth first. No bottom teeth yet! I think this means she’ll be getting all four (two upper, two lower) teeth all at the same time! 🙁 So far she is taking it like a champ and we haven’t had any hiccups to sleeping! Kayden never seemed bothered by getting teeth, so my fingers are crossed that Kloey is just as tough! Yes, I just described Kayden as tough! Ha!!

Happy 9 Month Birthday Miss Klo-Bot (our random nickname for Kloey!)

Kloey has been going to the park since she was literally weeks old. She started her adventure sleeping in a car seat. Then she slept in the Baby Bjorn while I chased Kayden around. Now, I am proud to say that Kloey is enjoying the park in a whole new way… In a swing!!!! I knew she would love to go in the swing because when Kayden pushes her in her infant swing, she giggles so loudly! Yesterday we had some free time between naps and I decided it was time to get my girl on a swing! It was no shock to see how thrilled she was to be swinging! Kayden thought it was great to be swinging next to her sister too. Both girls got more and more excited as the swing swayed higher and higher!! I am looking forward to many more park visits to come!!

Then…

So, clearly it’s been quite a while since I have blogged. Here is a quick update and a bunch of photos!

Kayden continues to blow our minds with her vocabulary and funny comments. She has the most amazing personality and the warmest smile. I love this girl!

Kloey has mastered sitting up (though she still thinks it’s funny to throw herself backwards!). She is so close to crawling, but finds it so much more fun to roll around to get things. We constantly find her underneath furniture or across the room from where we left her. She is developing such an awesome personality and really is a good baby! Come on baby, it’s time to crawl!!!

Where is the time going? Kloey is another month ‘old’ and she is just blossoming! Her personality has really developed this month. She loves to giggle, scream, babble, and explore her vocal cords. In fact, she is learning to throw the perfect tantrum! It’s actually pretty comical when she tries to have a fit! Kloey is mastering sitting up and finding new joys in exploring her surroundings from a new angle. She is even beginning to get up on her knees and just maybe making moves towards crawling! I know what it means to be patient as I wait for my child to become mobile, but I’m sure hoping this one figures it out before she turns one!! Kloey I know big things are coming this month!! Happy 8 Month Birthday Sweet Girl!!

Kloey is growing up to be my little sassy pants. She has technically been able to sit independently for a while now, but she has always found it so funny to throw herself back or to fall over sideways and then roll. I knew she was capable of sitting up, she she would never do it for longer than a few seconds. FINALLY, she has discovered that sitting up is actually pretty cool! She can now play with new toys and experience the world in a whole new way!

Also, now that she can/will sit, she can sit in a shopping cart! For all moms out there, this is a HUGE step! No more car seats awkwardly teetering in the shopping cart or inconveniently placed in the large part of the cart. She can see the world and therefore is happier about shopping — every mother’s dream! Today was her first outing in the shopping cart at Costco (now that we’re eating again, it was time to stock up!). All was going well until she threw herself backwards and nearly out of the cart! Luckily, her father caught her… and her mother was down another isle!! Miss Kloey wants so badly to be mobile, but without carpet and constantly rolling off my makeshift blanket play area, she isn’t quite there yet. I’m hoping this will happen soon!
