What's Kaylin up to?

What's Kaylin up to you ask? Oh, about two foot three.

Just kidding. It's been a while since I blogged and bragged about my little girl, so I thought I would update you all. (All three of you who actually read this.)

Kaylin is now seven and a half months old! I can hardly believe it. Where is the time going? Just yesterday she was our little three month old, lying on the floor staring at the ceiling. Now she's grabbing at everything within arm's reach, sitting up, rolling over, rocking on her knees, pivoting on her belly, pushing herself backwards across the floor, and standing while hanging onto things. It's amazing how quickly they change.

She's been sitting up for at least two months now, which means she can reach and grab for all sorts of things. And grab she does. And into the mouth it goes. The tooth fairy has yet to bless her with any chompers (thank god) but we're expecting them any day now. While she's waiting for her teeth, Kaylin is happy to put anything and everything into the mouth with the hopes of relieving some of the darned gum pain.

About a month ago Kaylin finally rolled over. We waited and waited for her to do it, and when she did finally roll I wished she didn't know how! Changing diapers on the floor is a new Olympic sport in our house. Five minutes of "diaper wrestling" leaves me breathless and ready for a nap.

As soon as she mastered the roll, she began pushing up onto her knees and rocking back and forth. You can see that she really wants to move but thankfully we have a little more time left to finish baby-proofing the house.

Sigh, I'm getting tired just thinking of what fun and excitement we have in store for us. Kaylin is a mover and a shaker. She's a bundle of energy who never stops moving. When she gets excited, her arms and legs practically vibrate, her fingers eagerly clutching the air for the toy you've shown her.

She's not a hugger, we've decided. If she puts her head down on our shoulder for two seconds we squeal, "She hugged me!" She doesn't have time to hug! She's got sights to see and textures to touch.

Who can blame her. The world is a marvelous place. And while I wait for my hug, I'll continue to marvel right along with her.

Yay for Kaylin! Getting so big! And yay for me - 1 of the 3 people who read this blog! (time for me to post something too!)

Only three people? That is a tiny-ass audience.

But, on the bright side, we three are faithful followers of your "Kaylin propaganda machine."

Whatever Kalyin says or does, we will follow...

With Kiera visiting for the past two weeks, it's been tough watching her roll around everywhere and playing with Bradyn's toys, while Bradyn just lays like a lump and stares at the wall. I want my baby to play too! Sherri says to enjoy this stationary phase because I'll miss it once Brady is mobile. Sounds like you agree.
Love readers 3 & 4 :-)
