August 2005

Kyla has made a full trip around the sun! On one hand, I can't believe that it was an entire year ago that she was born. On the other, Kyla has become such an essential and indelible part of my life, I'm starting to forget what life was like without her.

Walking continues to make life more interesting. She zips back and forth from place to place making protecting her more difficult, as well as protecting things from her. Falling down is a common occurrence, but Kyla bounces back quickly and never shows fear.

She becomes more and more entertaining everyday. Recently she has begun clapping and giving high-fives. At the park she loves going down the big slides, though it really freaks Becky out... which is half the fun for me.

On her birthday I took the day off and spent it doing a lot of what Becky does on a normal weekday. We worked out at Stroller Strides, played with Kyla's buddies at an indoor playground, and did some shopping at Babies 'R' Us with Kirsten and Rylee. Her party will be on September 10th.

One of Becky's friends asked if we were sad that Kyla was no longer really a baby. I can honestly say no because a toddler is far more fun to play with than a baby, and a little less work. Every day she does something new, so why dwell on the past?
