This was his first feel of grass. I'm not sure that he really knew what to think.
He sat with his hands up the whole time, not letting them touch the grass.
But I know he's ready to be splashing around in Grandpa's pool in his swim trunks.
Kenneth got some new pajamas over Easter weekend. They make his legs look so skinny!
Grandma sent him an Easter bucket all the way from Missouri. This is how he enjoys it.
Kenneth got to hang out with two of his cousins last weekend.
And then with his good friend Joel.
Chillin' with some Campbell's soup.
Kenneth turned 8 mos. last Friday, and we had eight month pictures taken by a friend. They are excellent! Kenneth has really learned a lot in the past month. He's scooting everywhere and will most likely crawl soon. He gets up on his hands and knees but doesn't know what to do from there. He's also pulling up to things and walking along beside them while holding on. He's even figured out how to climb up the first stair in our house. Definitely past time to babyproof. We got his stats, and he's remained 29 inches (which is still 90th %) and is up to 19 lbs 2.9 oz. This is actually only like 50th % I think. He's so interactive, and really seems to be catching on to things. Eric is so proud of him, because he's learning how to catch a ball. Last night, he was trying to figure out how to throw it back to Eric. He was also mostly using the left hand, which I'm pretty sure that you can't tell quite this early, but Eric is holding out hope! 
I don't know how he does it, but I found him sleeping like this.
Get me out of here!
My little grown up.
He's figured out how to make it up the first step. Watch out!
He went on his first carousel ride. He rode on a bunny.
Grandma had lots of fun! I think that's more attention he received than he had in a while.
Kenneth didn't really sleep well at the hotel. He insisted on waking up many times, and for fear of waking other rooms, he ended up in our bed. Which I might add that he slept really well once there.
It's so hard to believe that Kenneth is seven months old already! He's such a character! He was 29" long and his weight stayed the same from 6 months, at 18 pounds. I contribute that to having the flu for almost a week, and becoming VERY active! His newest things are that he figured out he can make noises with his mouth, and loves to make them against my bare shoulder. He is also starting to scoot on the floor. I know it won't be long until he's crawling everywhere!
Kenneth and I spent the afternoon together yesterday, since my babysitter's son was throwing up. I discovered something while we were playing. There is a sharp little object beginning to poke through in Kenneth's mouth. Yep, he's getting his first tooth! 
Kenneth's dedication was this past Sunday. He looked like such the little stud in his sweater vest. He had all the girls eyeing him! 
He's just starting to sit up on his own unsupported. I think the new shoes helped.
We had a very busy weekend with a Christmas on Saturday, Dedication, visitation, and visit to a friend's on Sunday, and another Christmas on Monday. Sunday and Monday had meals for 25 and 15 people at our house. Mama was a tired lady by the time Christmas day came.
The ironic part is that he hates to have something on his head. How we captured so many, I don't know. Most hats don't stay on longer than 3 seconds. But he sure is cute in them.
