What is Kamdyn Doing Now?

It's been a while since I've posted some new and fun things that Kamdyn can do. She is at such a playful and precious age. I love just sitting on the couch watching her. I often lay in the floor beside her while she plays. I look on in amazement at my little sweetie! She is very good at entertaining herself and she can do so for quite sometime.

Kamdyn is getting really good at balancing when she walks with our assistance. I started only giving her one hand instead of two and encouraging her to take a few steps. She pitched a fit at first when I tried this, but now she will at least take a few steps with only one hand. She will stand up by herself while leaning against the couch. She will also hold on to things like her excersaucer while she is standing up. She holds on with one hand and plays with the toys with the other. She will even take a step or two to move around it. She still has a good ways to go though before she has her balance completely and takes off on her own. We practice every day!!





She still loves to ride around in that walker. In fact, she chases us around the house while she is in it. She has to be everywhere that we are! Did I mention that she is IN to EVERYTHING while she walks in the walker? We have had to cover all of our outlets because she has tried to put her fingers in most all of them. Now she tries to get the outlet covers off. She pulls our trash can completely over in to the floor. She tries to open all of the cabinets, but can't because the walker blocks them from opening. Needless to say, she is quickly learning what "NO, NO" means. In fact, when she approaches something that she knows she shouldn't be touching, she will look around to see if either of us are watching her. If not, she goes for it! If we are watching, she gives a little smirk and moves on to the next thing. She is quite precocious!

I also think that she is learning what "bye-bye" means. Every time I say "bye-bye," she throws her hands in the air and waves one of them up and down. From what I've read, this is the age when they start waving bye-bye and understanding what it means. I'll keep you posted on this though. It may just be a coincidence that she does it everytime I say "bye-bye." Maybe she just likes the way that I say it and gets excited!! Who knows what's going on inside that little head??? I'd love to know!!!

Her 9 month check-up is January 2nd. Yes, 9 months! I can hardly believe it. I can't wait to see how much she weighs and how long she is. She feels like she weighs 30 lbs. My left bicep is going to be the size of Mike Tyson's soon from carrying her around all of the time! :) Did I mention that Kamdyn has yet to be sick? She hasn't even had a sniffle!! I hate to even say this and right at this moment I am knocking on wood and saying a prayer. We have been so lucky! I guess it's that breastmilk! If so, I am so glad that I nursed her for as long as I did. It was well worth the hassle. We'll let you know what Dr. Foushee says about her.

She also has her next "photo shoot" on January 10th at Fitz-Symms. I can't wait to see how she does this time. She's not nearly as still and immobile as she has been in the past for these pictures. It should be quite interesting!

I will keep you posted!
