6 MONTHS!! I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! My sweet precious baby is 6 months old! She's been 6 months for almost a week now but I wanted to take the 6 month marker photos in the same place as all the others, hence the delayed post. I'm playing catch up. :)
Kayla is such a great baby!
While on vacation, she was passed around to lots of new people.
She was so good to let anyone hold her.
She hardly cried, unless she got really tired.
While we were in Soda, everyone would come up to Kayla, tell her she was cute, and she would pull her right shoulder up to her cheek in the sweetest way. It was adorable and I have no idea where she learned that from.
She loved all the other kids! Her cousins would play Peek A Boo and she would laugh and laugh!
She would reach out to any children and hug them.
She will reach for people and touch their faces in the most precious way!
She's such a social little butterfly, although she would always look for Brett or I to be sure we were still close by.
She's getting so close to crawling! She would watch the other babies crawl around, get up on her knees, rock back and forth, and scoot back, but didn't quite master the forward motion.
She loves her feet and pulls them up to her face.
She acts like she's teething, and I was quite surprised she didn't cut any teeth before we got home. She chews on everything in sight!
She loves sitting up and is now sitting like a big girl in shopping carts. She loves being able to look around.
Her sleep schedule was excellent before vacation, sleeping 10-11 hours at night, but it was thrown out of whack with all the traveling and lack of good naps. Hopefully, we can get things back to normal now that we're home.

Kayla is starting to make more sounds that sound like words. Now, I know that her baby babble is just that, babble, but several times she has said MOM or MAMA and I love it! Even though it probably doesn't mean anything, it warms my heart, nonetheless.
She makes a cute little gurgling sound and is still a screamer.
She started a new thing where if she got excited, she would start breathing really quickly, in an excited way, almost like panting. It was pretty funny!
We tried giving her some baby food before we left and she wasn't a fan, so I decided to bag it until we got home. Its much easier to just nurse while traveling all over creation. Hopefully she does better with food now.
We weighed her at the clinic I worked at while in Idaho, and she was 17 lbs 7 oz! We have her doctor appt. in a few days so we'll see if that's accurate and what percentage she's in. She's growing like a weed!
Everyone comments how big she is and how advanced she is for her age.
She loves standing up and if someone holds her hands, she'll even walk around!
On the flight home, the flight attendant took her and walked around with her a bit because she was just so cute. She charmed everyone on the flight!
We love our Precious (as Brett calls her) and can't imagine life without her!

Everyday with this baby is an adventure and we can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring! Life is such a wonderful joy! We are so blessed! Happy half birthday, Kayla Rae!
