Though she isn’t truly mobile yet, Kyla has become much more active this month. As a result she’s much more fun to play with, but much more difficult to manage.She generally resists having her diaper changed now, constantly rolling over, flailing about, and trying to grab hold of anything close by. It is often easier to dress her while she is standing up because she simply refuses to remain still lying down.
Kyla continues to become more mobile, and has managed to start scooting herself backwards a bit. She can also push herself up into a sitting position. My cousin Jolie gave us an upright mobile walker that Kyla uses to practice bipedaling, though she still lacks the balance to push it around on her own.The solid food diet has increased in both variety and quantity. She eats her own version of dinner with us every night; her current favorites are avocado and puffed millet. I will omit the details of how this has affected the consistency of her dirty diapers.
Every week Becky and Kyla now attend swim class, which Kyla relishes. She’s learning to paddle, grab onto the side of the pool, dunk under water, and splash like hell. She is so lively in the pool that she usually takes a long nap afterwards.Becky and I are eagerly awaiting Kyla’s first venture into crawling, though everyone tells us it’s as much a curse as it is a blessing. Perhaps we should be careful what we wish for…
