January 2005

Another month has gone by, where do I begin?

Kyla is no longer content to just lie back and coo at us. She now wants to be active and entertained. Thank goodness for swings and exersaucers, each of which will buy us a five-minute break until she’s ready to move on to the next activity. Kyla also likes to get out of the house, and Becky is very accommodating taking trips to Stroller Strides, baby classes, Skate King, the Tuesday mommy-baby movie, and various social activities with other new mommies and babies.

When held up, she can walk herself forward, though she obviously lacks the balance to walk independently anytime soon. If Zoe is in the room, Kyla will walk herself in the cat’s direction. Up until now Zoe hasn’t paid much attention to Kyla, though I think once Kyla figures out crawling they’ll be playing cat and mouse quite a bit, with Zoe as the mouse. Kyla can also sit up on her own… for about five seconds until she falls over.

Laughter is no longer that rare, and she’s even starting to get ticklish. She is still just as fond of baths as ever, in part because she loves being naked. Kyla has also discovered her feet and enjoys sucking on her toes, though she’ll have to give that up eventually unless she becomes a fan of Yoga.
