Kaya turned 11 months old today! Mommy took the usual picture of her in the chair next to the sign...sort of. Kaya was very uncooperative! Mommy did not get the newborn sleeper comparison picture yet however. She may wait and take it while Kaya is asleep. Only 1 more month until Kaya gets to eat cake!

Kaya took the day off from school today and spent the first half of the day with Grandpa Martin and the second half with Grandma Criddle. What a lucky girl Kaya is!

Kaya really likes clapping her hands lately. It's very cute. She also will give you a "high 5" sometimes. Today Kaya went to Reading to visit Grandpa's office while Mommy had her teeth cleaned. Then she went to Starbucks (her favorite) with Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa. Kaya also tried mashed potatoes for the first time today. She liked them! She's all set for Thanksgiving!

Kaya has become more dedicated to walking this week! And she's been wearing her shoes every day at school too. Kaya still will crawl if she is in an unfamiliar situation or place, or if she is very tired. But the rest of the time she's stepping all around, usually with a toy in each hand. Her hair is getting long in front too. Mommy can now put it up in a little ponytail on top of her head. She's not ready to cut Kaya's bangs yet!

Kaya had a great day in daycare today! She got to go out to the toddler playground with the "big" kids (1-2 year olds) and she absolutely loved it. Her teachers said she just took right off as soon as they got out there and had a great time climbing over everything and playing. After that in the afternoon, Kaya apparently comforted one of the younger babies when he was in his bouncer and crying. She kept bringing him toys, rocking him, and gently rubbing his head. :) Mommy feels like Kaya has really grown up this past week!!

Tonight Kaya went to her first real playground with Mommy and Daddy. Kaya loved being pushed by Daddy in the swing, but she was happiest when he was facing towards her. She also had a great time going down the sliding boards with Daddy, but seemed even more interested in climbing up the slides instead!
