We are officially past the 12 months mark and into the 2nd year of Kaia's life! What an amazing blessing! She turned 13 months yesterday, which makes me wonder when exactly we stop counting in months? I think maybe it's after they turn 18 months. Anyhow, I'll keep celebrating those monthly milestones for now! Kaia's doing pretty well adjusting to the move. She's been sleeping well in her new room and is proud to show everyone where her bed is. Her favorite room is the pantry-she loves to go in and out. And we have an island, which she loves to run around and play hide and seek. The one negative thing was that she got a cold on Thursday, which was of course the day Josh had to go to Bloomfield to work. She had a fever and sore throat, along with a runny nose. And I felt terrible because this is the 1st time she's been sick that I haven't been there to comfort her. And to make it worse I was in a completely different town. But Josh did a great job taking care of her, along with Grandma Julie, until I could see her again. And she was feeling much better yesterday. The highlight of the week was going to church yesterday and seeing Kaia wave her hands up and down, enjoying the music and praising the way only a child can. What a blessing!
Kaia's busy walking and running around everywhere. In fact, she's not content to be held or sit in the stroller too long...she'd rather explore for herself. She is a big talker and has long talks on her phone to anyone she imagines is listening. She loves to read and brings an endless stream of books for me to read with her. She also loves to dance and sing to music. Her favorite things right now are her new tennis shoes Grandma Julie gave her, and she loves to wear them. Even if she's just in a diaper she wants to wear those shoes! And she loves to carry a purse, just like Mama! She's quite a character and it's so fun to see her little personality developing. We love her so much and are so thankful for her in our lives!
As I'm sharing fond words of our daughter I can't forget to praise my husband, who has been so great during this whole process. He has wholeheartedly supported me going back to work and us moving, and without complaint beared the brunt of the heavy lifting, in more ways than one, in our moving process. He is doing a great job taking care of Kaia while we transition her to daycare and juggling this all while handling his own workload. He's amazing and Kaia and I are very blessed to have him!
We're looking forward to another great week and I promise to post some new pictures soon!
