8 Months and growing...

I just love this baby! Kaycen is 8 months old and I cannot even believe how fast he is growing. Just in the last couple of weeks he has figured out how to scoot around on his bum, pulling himself up to things, and now he is crawling all over the place. He definately went from being a Mommy's boy to Mr. Independant. There is both sadness and joy in this stage of his life. Kaycen is such a cuddler... which Keyton wasnt so I am soaking it all in because I know it wont last long. I keep thinking he is going to pop a tooth through anyday... but still no teeth! His cute gum smile is precious.

This is the best picture I could get... but yesterday Keyton picked him up from behind under his armpits and decided it would be fun to walk with him.. Of course Kaycen is all excited about it too. Well Keyton got a little carried away and tripped over Kaycen's pants and down they both went. Kaycen had his binkie in and hit mouth (binkie) to the floor. Poor baby cried so hard and was bleeding all over the place. He cut the skin right above your front teeth. This picture really doesnt give justice to how it really looks. His lip was swollen all day and even bled one more time after Keyton bumped him again. After he got all calmed down, the bink went right back in the mouth... so it must not have hurt that bad or else he didnt care and really loves that thing. He is doing better today and I hope he heals fast. I guess the good thing about it all is that he wont have a gap between his two front teeth when he is older ;)
