Killian,  

Today you are 8 months old.  I cannot believe how fast time has flown.  It seems like just yesterday your daddy and I were welcoming you into this world.  We were overcome with emotions and joy when we met you and still some days we cannot believe we make a family.  Just the three of us.  (and the kitties too)

You grow and change every day.  You love to eat, play and even sleep.  You rarely give us any trouble when going to bed and you sleep.  You sleep from 8 pm until 7 or so the next morning.  Then you get a bottle with me and we visit and you go back to bed for another 2 or more hours.  You don't care for napping but your daddy and I are fine with that because you sleep so well for us the rest of the time.  Sometimes you take an hour or two nap in the middle of the day but you do a good job at telling us you are tired and want to snuggle.

You laugh. Holy crap do you laugh.  You laugh when the cats fight. You laugh when Sylvia taunts you with her smooth black tail.  You laugh when daddy makes chewbacha noises.  You laugh when I kiss your feet and blow rasberries on your tummy.   You laugh so much that it helps mom and dad stay more positive about our lives in general.  Having you makes us enjoy life fully.  Having you makes us feel stupid when we get mad about dumb little things in life.  We just have to remember you and your laugh and we immediately feel better!

We appreciate you so much.  Your father and I hope that you can continue to bring this amount of joy and love into our lives forever.

We love you.
