My little baby is already six months old. We all love her so much and she sure is getting big. She weighs 17.69 lb. (77%) and she is 26.88 in. (85%) with a head circumference of 17.25 in. (89%). Brynlee and Annalyn have really started to play with Kyla all the time now and Kyla just soaks it all in. She can sit really well all on her own, although she will fall over after a while so I still put a pillow behind her and she loves to sit up and watch her big sisters. If she has a toy to play with, she will be content for a long time just sitting up and playing. She is still not super crazy about being on her tummy but she tolerates it more when she has a toy to play with. I sure do love this sweet happy little baby.
Kyla has said lots of new sounds and her favorite is "dada," much to Joel's delight. I don't think she knows what it means yet but we still counted it as her first word. She says it all the time. She also says nee and she makes lots of other fun sounds. I have been working on mama but she hasn't said it yet. Annalyn is trying to get her to say "Annalyn" so we will see if she picks up on that one next. Kyla got the hang of how to jump in her little jumperroo toy and she loves to jump in that thing. She loves playing with all of the baby toys around her. She reaches for and grabs anything in her reach and tries to put it in her mouth. She can play with her socks for a long time. I love that she is playing more.
Kyla still sucks on her thumb all the time. It is alway her left thumb too and she sucks on it whenever she gets hungry or when she is tired. She doesn't usually sleep with her thumb in her mouth though. Kyla is still not a huge fan of rice cereal but she seemed to like the squash we gave her. She got to see snow for the first time this month but I didn't let her get to close to it. She also had her first bottle and first taste of formula. I don't think she was impressed. My mom watched her for the first time one day this month while Joel and I went to the movies. We saw the new Hunger Games movie. We took her on a dinner date with us but I didn't trust Kyla to be quiet for the movie. Kyla likes to hear herself and she can be pretty loud. Luckily she slept for my mom. I don't think she would have taken the bottle I left so it is a good thing she waited to wake up until I got back. One day this month Kyla got a little scratch on her forehead so Brynlee doctored it up with a band-aid when I wasn't looking. Kyla is one seriously cute baby and she has been such a great little addition to our family. We all love her so much.
