I really thought I'd get around to posting last month, but Kaylana got sick twice and my sister came up to visit from San Diego so I guess I was wrong. But here's what happened last month.
Kaylana crawls super fast now. When I get home from work (at 1-2am) she speedily crawls to me in less than 2 seconds...resulting in her daddy having to grab her cuz mommy hasn't cleaned up yet. Funny girl. She started really crawling at 7 months, and 2 weeks later started pulling herself up onto everything. She has had quite a few falls since then...poor baby. But she's way tougher than I expect, and usually cries from the shock of being on the floor all of a sudden. Now, after a month of falling, she doesn't cry anymore, but simply has discovered she can get on her knees and proceed into crawling position. Diaper changes have become much more difficult as she is too curious for her own good and hates to be on her back which leads to squirming and turning and all that good stuff that I'm sure all you parents know about.
She also started saying "ma-ma" and "mum" last month. I suspect she kinda knows what it means as she crawls to me when she's hungry going "mamamama."
Kaylana still loves to jump in her jumper, and sometimes gets worn out. She also loves water bottles, paper, and plastic! So we really reuse and recycle! Haha.
She also enjoys her play yard now since sometimes Mommy has to cook and can't have Kaylana crawling in circles around her!
Kayana experienced her first easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday. She had lots of fun with her cousin, Ashilene! They were crawling all over the place...but mommies and daddies had to help with the eggs higher up of course.
Lola and Kaylana have matching furry jackets!
She loves being outdoors, so we try to go to the park at least once a week, especially now that the weather has warmed up!
Thanks for the new kicks, Mom!
Ashilene and Kaylana having a staring contest, and then playing after!
Sharing is caring!
Next hopeful post...9 Months...
She is getting stronger and more coordinated every day. She can sit forward on her own and today she pulled herself up and was ready to jump out of her bouncer! She used to be so tiny in it and now she fills it from top to bottom.
She is growing so fast...she now fits size 1 shoes and is wearing size 3-6 months clothes. Not as big as her cousin and BFF, weighing in at 12 pounds and 24 inches long! My lil cutie! I am enjoying every single precious moment with my beautiful baby girl!
Later on her cousin, Ashilene, came to visit and we had to take pictures of these two cutie pies.
4 Generations!!!
Rigo is such a great husband and father! He is so supportive and every day he comes home and gives me a break by helping to take care of her. I just feed her and he often does the rest...the burping, changing, playing, consoling, etc. I love to see him bond with our daughter and exchange smiles all the time...she loves her Daddy!
Speaking of smiles, Kaylana laughed for the first time last Friday. My visiting teachers came over and while I was holding her and we were talking she laughed out of nowhere! It was so adorable and she had the most gorgeous huge smile on her face. She did it again later as we were playing and I have loved hearing and seeing her laugh since. It is still so enjoyable when she smiles and laughs in her sleep, just too cute. I also started putting headbands on her and I love it! You can tell she's a girl =) hehehe. Especially during the first month everyone thought she was a boy, even when I put her in pink they would question! Figures, she looks like her Daddy as everyone says. Apparently, she is beginning to look more like me now...lol. I don't know and it doesn't matter to me, all I know is she is beautiful and we love her so so so much!
