Army Crawl

Kaia's tribute to Memorial day was to learn to crawl - army crawl. I managed to capture her first crawl on video.



She is showing signs of getting onto all fours, and when she does that, we are in trouble. We're busy putting up gates and baby proofing as I write this.

Meal time

Kaia's been eating solid food for about 3 1/2 months now. We started with rice cereal, then oatmeal, then on to the vegetables (peas, carrots, zucchini, etc.). We just started with fruits, and while she seems to be a fan of bananas, she is not a fan of apples. We have yet to capture it on film, but you should see the sour faces. I call them her pirate faces (one eye closed, head cocked to the side and jerked back, mouth agape or lips pursed). Hilarious!

Here are some great messy face photos that only a parent (or Grandparent) could love:




At the same time she started eating solid foods we also started introducing her to drinking out of a cup. She's gotten pretty good at it by now. Just two weeks ago she started getting it to her mouth and tipping it up all by herself. Now we just need to work on recognizing when there's still liquid in the cup and not fling it about.
