Ever since Kira was born the months fly by! This month it has been so fun to watch Kira's personality continue to come out through smiles, laughter, and the occasional (short lived) cry of displeasure. Yes, it is true- Kira does cry. But as of now she uses her tears sparingly, and for good reasons, such as- Max clocked her over the head for the tenth time and she just cannot take it anymore. Sometimes she does not like the stroller or car seat, but after 30 seconds she is content. Kira loves to feed herself pancakes, bites of fruit, and puffs (which of course Max has a born-again affinity for). She also likes playing in all sorts of water- the pool, bath, fountains. She babbles all the time and just loves strangers and anyone who will glance in her direction. Nothing gets a bigger smile out of Kira than giving her one first.
Eight month serenade
Max came home from the hospital following his second lip repair surgery when he turned 8 months old. Sadie came to visit and she squeezed this stiff/sore lip smile out of him.
Kira loved Frying Pan Park! She stayed cool and clean in the shade, while Max played on the muddy tractors.
Hang on tight! Good thing this tractor goes 0.0 miles per hour.
Picnic at the farm
Max was so excited to see the pigs but he was bothered by the fact that there were so many bugs on them.
We got [goat] ears, say cheers!
The bunny rabbits were at the top of Max's farm-to-do-list, so he was rather disappointed when he found chickens in the rabbit house. "The sign says rabbits!!!" he screamed as he pointed to the rabbit picture. Luckily we found the relocated rabbits.
Kira's first carousel ride
Max woke up on the RIGHT side of the bed after nap!
Pawley and Theodore (Daddy's teddy)
Kira could have sat in front of the water sprays all day. She loves it!
Kira will just be laughing in the stroller while Max scales this odd structure
Eight months of [mostly] sweet sibling snuggles
