Kayleigh was 13 months old on Monday . . . just a few fun facts about our sweet, curious, playful and giggly baby girl.Things she says . . ."Hi", "Bye", "Ma-ma", "Da-da", "Uh-uh" (uh-oh), and "Rock". She regularly signs "Please", "All done" and "Hi/Bye". She cries everytime she sees a kleenex or washcloth coming her way . . . and can spot a cupcake, cookie or dessert from across the room!!
She took 4 steps on February 13th at our friend's house for small group. She has taken 1-2 steps since but crawling gets her there faster, so she isn't all that interested in learning the whole walking thing! She moves fast if she is walking behind something . . . and often gets creative about what she uses: a stool, chair, toy shopping cart/stroller, pretty much whatever she can find! She also started standing up without pulling up on something on February 13th.
Her favorite toys: anything that plays music (so cute watching her bop to the music), play kitchen and tea set, the TV remote and Daddy's cell phone. Her favorite past-time: playing "peek-a-boo", opening kitchen cabinets and drawers and emptying the contents on the floor while Mommy isn't watching, pulling folded laundry off the couch, climbing in her little rocking chair and "rocking", and crawling after her brother and sister and waiting for them to open the bathroom door so she can get to the potty and trash can! : ) Kayleigh also LOVES bathtime . . . she stands by the side of the bath while we run the water and leans over trying to start splashing as soon as the water is high enough to reach! It is a great evening activity if she is getting fussy before bedtime . . . cheers her up everytime! She has loved being outside this past week . . . swinging and going for walks around the neighborhood.
In the past couple weeks, she has gotten much more affectionate . . she has started giving "hugs" back and snuggling in when we hold her and even tucking her arms in, wanting us to squeeze her for a tight hug! She loves to be tickled and play wrestle/tackle.
Though I thought Kayleigh was really taking to milk when I first introdcued it to her . . . that is not so much the case now. She LOVES to drink water, of all things . . . her favorite foods (right now): blueberries, bananas, mandarin oranges, grapes, applesauce, pb&j, steamed broccoli, string cheese, pizza and lasagna. She has always been pretty serious about her food, but since being weaned, she is even more serious about it. As a result, she has chunked up quite a bit . . . she has gained 2-3 lbs in the past month . . . and is close to 20 lbs. now! Dave turned her carseat around last night and she really enjoyed the car ride this morning to the church getting to see everything! She has 7-8 teeth as of now, but that could change at a moment's notice . . . she has been "teething" for a few weeks!
