Update

I've been posting a few pictures lately, so I thought I'd write a little note to update you all on what Kaia's up to these days. She's growing more and more every day. One day last week I weighed her on our scale at home and she weighed 21 lbs. We'll know her official height and weight at her next doctor's appointment in June. She's a busy little bee...very interested in everything around her. She's walking along furniture and behind her push toy, as well as while holding onto our hands. Occasionally she'll let go of what she's holding onto for a few seconds and stand on her own. This morning she let go of the couch and took her 1st step toward me! She says 3 words pretty consistently and seems to know what they mean: "mama", "dada", and "da" (dogs). She also babbles a lot. I've been doing sign language with her since she was about 3 months old, and she understands several signs. Last week she started making the sign for "all done" back to me. So that's pretty exciting! As you probably read in the last post, Kaia has 3 teeth and is working on another which hasn't broken through yet. She's a very good little girl who hardly cries, laughs and smiles a lot, and loves to play with her toys. She loves anything that plays music and is fascinated by the shower. She also loves to take things out of containers, so I always find the contents of the diaper bag all over our apartment. It's such a blessing to watch her grow and learn, and we can't wait to see what she does next! I would be remiss if I didn't add a few pictures along with this post, so here's one of Kaia and her new car, and a picture of 2 of Kaia's favorite friends: our dogs!

Check out my new car!
