Happy 5 month birthday to Kaya! Kaya celebrated the day by getting some more pictures taken professionally, during which she was NOT happy (but still ended up with great photos!). And then she went out to buy some new diapers! Exciting! Tue, Feb 5, 2008 1:09 PM
Kaya has discovered her feet, and loves to grab them with both her hands. It's very funny. She especially loves to do this during diaper changes. While in some ways this is very helpful, it's also pretty darn difficult to get the new diaper on her when she's all scrunched up in that position. lol!

Mommy is trying to delay introducing solid foods to Kaya until she's 6 months old. But Kaya is sooo interested in eating and even gets jealous when she sees her parents eating in front of her. So Mommy has been putting a little bit of milk on a spoon and "feeding" it to her that way. She LOVES it. She started opening her mouth wide for the spoon right away. Only 4 more weeks till she gets some real food (well, rice cereal anyway)!

Kaya has made a few new discoveries over the past week. She's figured out that she can pull down on some of the animals on her exersaucer and cause them to play music. She's been having a great time pulling the rings off of her stacking ring toy thingie and throwing them on the floor. actually she loves to throw most things on the floor. perhaps this is the beginning of the "watch mommy pick things back up" game? She reaches out to touch almost everything, and sometimes Mommy will walk around with her and let her pick up various objects like her toys, her brush, stuffed animals. Kaya doesn't always like to let go of these though! Kaya is getting much better at sitting on her own as well, but sometimes she gets lazy and let's Mommy know she's done!

Kaya also loves to pet the cats now. Sometimes she is very gentle about it, but other times she tries to pull their fur. The poor cats are so starved for attention and love however that they don't seem to mind at all!

Mommy broke down and gave Kaya her first taste of rice cereal tonight. Kaya has just seemed so hungry lately! Kaya did very well at eating the really watery cereal, but she didn't seem super excited about the taste or anything. But she was all wide eyed the whole time, definitely a new experience for her! Mommy also let Kaya sip a little bit of milk out of a cup, just to see how she'd do. And she did great with that! She won't be switching to cups anytime soon though since Mommy is still nursing her.

Recently Kaya has been spending more time in her parents bed than in her own bed. Apparently a queen size bed is the right size for Kaya! At least Mommy is less worried about keeping her warm.Thu, Feb 14, 2008 7:00 PM
Kaya asked Daddy to be her valentine today. And Daddy said yes!

Kaya rolled over for the second time this morning. Yes, that's right - it's been 5 weeks between roll overs..probably because Kaya hates to be on her tummy, and also hates to be on her back - she only wants to sit up now, which she is almost doing without support when she's in a good mood and has the patience to try. Anyway, Mommy caught this roll-over on video. Yay for Mommy!

Kaya visited lots of friends today! First she get to meet her new friend Morgan, and had lunch at her house too. Okay, well all the parents had lunch. Then she went out for coffee with her Aunt Angela. Okay, so Daddy had a moccachino, and Mommy had a latte, and Angela had a mocha. And Kaya got to meet her first puppy today - Sammie! It was also Kaya's first visit to Skippack, where Mommy and Daddy used to live.

Kaya said "Mom-Ma" tonight! She said it really clearly..but she probably didn't really know she was saying it! But Mommy appreciated hearing the sound anyway!!

Kaya loves to rip apart magazines. Mommy gave her a Newsweek to destroy earlier, because Mommy doesn't like Newsweek very much. Mostly because it shows up every week, and with a baby in the house, who can keep up with all that reading?
