Still not walking yet, but since last month Kaia has started knee walking. Yes, apparently that is a thing. Kaia does also cruise more, and seems pretty stable as long as she's holding onto something, but she also has no real desire to properly walk, either. She did stand without holding onto anything for a few seconds a few weekends ago, but she hasn't bothered to since. We will just have to wait and see how she progresses in the next month.
Kaia is making leaps and bounds with speaking, however. She isn't putting 2 words together yet, but she's using lots more words in general. Favorites this past month have been: Me-mo when asking for her Elmo spoon, Keila still ('Gaiga'), MaMa, Nai Nai for goodnight, un un (for 'yes' in Japanese), and assorted animals noises that correspond with various animals. She seems to be getting the difference for the most part, as she's been meowing at our cats lately but barking at dogs. She also knows that chickens say bawk bawk and can make monkey noises, too. Kaia also announced tonight for the first (at the dinner table!) that she'd gone 'poo poo'. Now to work on the timing of that.
Kaia's favorite activities still involve putting items into containers and taking them out. I gave her an old wallet containing some kids collector cards, so that's one of her favorite toys at the moment. She also loves her new Anpanman walker, but of course will only walk it around on her knees.
Kaia is getting FOUR new upper teeth in! They seem to be irritating her too, as she's been chewing on her hands a lot. No new lower teeth yet, but I'm sure they will appear soon.
Kaia weighs about the same as last month, 9.1 kilos, but she's been starving lately, so we will see what next month brings. Until then!
