Here's what she's been doing in the past month:
We now pull to stand (finally)! Kaia first pulled herself up on February 4th, but she only really got quite good at it this past Monday (the 27th). She suddenly started pulling herself up easily and quite often, and now she can already sometimes stand a bit just using one hand for balance. Maybe she really will walk before she turns 10!
Kaia is also gaining some weight, although she's not at 9 kilos yet. She's been eating lots lately so may be having another growth spurt. We'll see how much she gains by the 30th!
Kaia is quite active and vocal, and she LOVES music. Whenever we take walks, she insists that I sing her favorite songs to her. So I either have to sing the ABC song or Baa Baa Black Sheep, repeatedly. If I stop, she then BAAAs at me until I sing again, or makes noises that only I understand for the ABC song.
Kaia has been having fun imitating words and sounds too. She now says 'cracker' quite clearly, along with Hi, Bye, BA (bath), baaa (ball), Keila's name, Dada, Mama, and several others words such as 'cat', 'dog' etc that aren't quite so clear.
Almost every afternoon, she has a great time playing with Keila, and she gets so excited when Keila's bus pulls up. Keila makes her laugh more than anyone else does.
Kaia also loves flowers, and she always want to sniff at them, among other things. Somehow she's learned that we laugh when she picks up a sock and sniffs it, so that's another new game/joke of hers. She's quite the ham lately.
Favorite foods this month are still Italian dishes, cheese, soft dried fruit, fish, and of course baby crackers. Yogurt seems to be on the outs for the time being.
Finally, Kaia loves picture books and wants to know all of the words in them. She will point at every picture in her favorite book and wait for me to name each item.
Kaia still isn't sleeping well, but I keep hoping she will at some point.
I will try to measure her by the next update on the 30th!
Until then...
