Kaya took 2 steps tonight before falling. And she also ate her first "piece" of pizza. Now that Kaya is eating regular food, Mommy and Daddy decided it was time to introduce her to one of the finest foods on earth!! She seemed to like it, especially the tomato sauce.

Kaya and Mommy went to Longwood Gardens today. They stayed for just over an hour because Mommy's attention span is short when it comes to plants! Later Kaya had fun at home using the laundry basket as a battering ram to try to break down the door into the living room! Kaya enjoyed her first saltine crackers in the evening too. cheese and crackers soon!

Kaya is 10 months old today! Kaya and her parents spent the day at home relaxing, since it was a holiday and the beginning of Mommy and Daddy's vacation from work!

for her 10 month birthday Kaya got a car that she can use to walk around, and later ride. It sings and has lots of flashy lights and a shape sorter in the hood too. It didn't take long for Kaya to figure out how to walk around with it!

Mommy kind of forgot to add in that Kaya is 100% off bottles now! She went to the sippy cup about a month ago. Yay for Mommy for having less bottle washing and sterilizing to do! Kaya has also decided she is DONE with all baby foods. She will only eat table foods now! So mommy has tried to be inventive with finger foods for both Kaya's lunches and dinners. So far she likes peas, corn, carrots, mac and cheese, and chicken nuggets! The foundation of a well balanced meal!!

Today while Mommy and Daddy went to cousin Gwenn's wedding, Kaya stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa Martin. Kaya also had a funny experience with Guiness (the cat) that evening. Kaya was in her exersaucer stationary entertainer while Grandma was doing dishes. Guiness loves to be close to Kaya, but isn't the smartest cat on the block (far from it) so she walked right up to Kaya and laid her tail on the tray portion of the saucer. When Kaya grabbed her tail super fast, Guiness tried to run away..but Kaya didn't let go! She ended up being spun around in a circle in the saucer!! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to take Kaya on spinny rides. :)

Kaya loves to pull things out of the refrigerator and freezer now. She also can open some of the (non-babyproofed) cabinets and loves to take out the pots and pans. And she loves the dishwasher too! Mommy has to close it up quick once Kaya sees it open. Other things she's been into the last month are hair grabbing (ow), face grabbing (ow), offering to share her cheerios (cute) and taking steps (but not fully committed to walking yet). She also has started giving Mommy and Daddy full on bear hugs, which is really cute. And she still loves to take sips out of "real" glasses even though she usually ends up with liquid all over her shirt! She is also quite the talker, although Mommy and Daddy can't quite understand her yet. She says things that sound like "Kaya" and "cat" in addition to Dada and Mama.

Kaya, Mommy, and Daddy went to the mall tonight to buy Kaya her first pair of shoes! She's a size 4, medium width. She now is the proud owner of navy blue and beige sneakers! She doesn't really like wearing them yet though. she's more interested in playing with the laces.
