Standing!

OK, so I guess it really is true that once they decide they are ready, they sure get going! Today, it was deciding to pull herself up to standing. She's only doing it in her crib so far, but I bet that will quickly change. Everytime she was in her crib for a nap, or while I was getting stuff in her room, or whatever, she would pull herself up! It was too darn cute, of course I had to tape it..so here you all go!

Crawling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this has been a busy week around here! Kayla has decided, all of a sudden, to start doing things! She is starting to feed herself with a fork if you put the food on it and hand it to her, crawl around (on her belly), and cruise the furniture some with only a little assistance!! Oh what fun we are having :-) It is sooo cool to see her start to master these things. We were waiting forever it seems, but she's finally starting to decide she's ready!

New Teeth

Not the greatest picture, but you can see all four of her teeth now! The other two top teeth are still working on coming in. The bad part is she has now started to grind her teeth some. I think she is just still trying to figure them out and whatnot, but still!! Need to find great teething things. As with so many other things, she seems to be crazy picky on those as well!

Walking..well, sort of!

You so can't tell in this picture, but Kayla has actually started to walk in her walker!! It is soo darn cute! She started a couple days ago actually taking steps and going forward on her own. She does need a little coaxing at times on our end (banging two toys together that she wants to get her to come to you , etc) but she is doing sooo well!! She walks when you hold on to her hands too, and stands up when holding on to something. She refuses to crawl, so I really think now that she will be walking before she crawls, if she ever does!

Teething and the rest of it all

Since my last post, we've all been sick :-( Kayla and I were worse than Kyle, who got it just at the end. Just a bad cold/cough but still no fun. And unfortunatly Kayla's still not completely better as her cold is still present, compounded by cutting all four of her top front teeth!! I am thinking that the runny nose, etc may not be so much from her cold as from her teething. She has gotten terribly fussy, but I probably would be too if all of my teeth were coming in at once! The front right one has broken through and the the other three are right there...hopefully they'll come soon so that she can get some relief (as can we!). She's still not crawling or walking, but is totally getting there. She'll "walk" when you hold her hands now, she holds onto things and stands on her own, she has started to pull herself up, and she gets on her hands and knees and rocks some then falls down and rolls over usually. So hopefully one day soon we'll have a mover. Not sure why I am hoping for this, but I am :-) As to the rest of of our lives, Kyle has just started at the Lowe's here in Aurora. He LOVES being closer to home, but is not loving the store itself. It is horribly broken right now. Hopefully it will get better soon-or he won't be any fun! I'm still staying home taking care of Kayla, but am starting to look around for a job as I need to get back to work. Praying it all works out. Oh, and the most fun right now is that we've started planning Kayla's first birthday! I can't believe she's almost one!!!! Where did it go?? Well here's a picture from our Disney vacation...finally a whole family pic!!
