Kayla 7 Months

My happy, smiley baby girl!
Kayla has successfully made it through the first half of her first year and is charging forward into the 2nd half. Kayla is such a joy in our lives. I can't imagine life without her. She makes us laugh everyday and watching her explore and discover the world around her is magical. Kayla is growing and changing every day. This month was a great one for our little Kayla Rae!

Kayla is eating solid foods like a pro now, although still very messy. She has had carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce, avocado, peaches and both rice and oatmeal cereal. Though she is a bit fickle some days, she has eaten all of the above without too much protest.
She cut her two bottom teeth a few weeks ago. They are both through the skin but haven't come all the way up yet.
Kayla started going to daycare at the gym for about an hour at a time a few days a week. She has loved being with other kids. She never fusses at all while there.
Kayla caught her first bug this week. She has a runny nose and mild fever off and on. Its sad to see her not as her normal happy self.
Kayla is working on crawling. She gets up on her hands and feet and sort of launches herself forward. She hasn't mastered the concept of moving her hands along with her feet.
She loves standing and walking with help. She pulls herself up on things that are short enough for her to reach. Anytime she has the chance, she plants her feet and loves standing. She will hang out standing next to the couch for quite awhile. 
She's getting more and more excited about all of her toys. 
Kayla loves loves loves seeing herself in the mirror. If she's ever grumpy, we can put her in front of the mirror and a big smile pops up on her face! 
She is starting to wave at people. She always waves at herself in the mirror. 
Kayla's sleep habits are slowly improving from the vacation, although I think teething is throwing her off a bit. She occasionally still wakes up once at night. Sometimes she's hungry but usually she just needs to be rocked before she can go back to sleep.
Her babbles are sounding more and more like words as she's learning to make more consonant sounds. 
Kayla loves her daddy and always lights up when he comes home from work. 

Each day I wake up excited to see what Kayla will smile at or discover. She really is a wonderful baby and we are very blessed to have her in our family.

My beautiful little lady!

Her crawling stance!

She has a better push-up stance than I do! :)

Kayla's new exersaucer! Thankfully it keeps her entertained for awhile so I can get things done around the house.


She's just so beautiful!

We tried to take a few more pictures, but she wasn't in a smiley mood since she's not feeling well.

This face just makes me laugh! 

Our big girl prefers to stand! :)
