May 2005

"Dada." At first I couldn't believe it. I still don't know if Kyla knows it's me she's referring to, but those two syllables still had a profound effect on me when I first heard them.

In all fairness, she said "Mama" first, though I wasn't there to witness it. There have been times when we were sure she was referring to us, but she also says "Mama" and "Dada" when she isn't looking at either of us. We delight in hearing our "names" so much, that I don't think Becky and I really care what Kyla's inducement is for saying them.

Linda spotted her first little tooth protruding from her lower gum. This is after six months of teething; perhaps we misdiagnosed some of her earlier crankiness. It's still hard to spot, but she'll have a mouth full of sharp little teeth soon. It's times like this that I am really glad I'm not the one who has to breastfeed her.

Becky, Kyla, and Grandma Linda went to Las Vegas to see Kyla's Great Grandma Ruby. This was Kyla's first adventure on an airplane and the flight went pretty well, however both she and Becky became ill while they were there. Becky had a headache severe enough for them to visit an emergency room. Fortunately some antibiotics got her feeling better.

Now I hope we can look forward to a warm summer.
