Here, Kitty, Kitty...

Today, Kyla discovered that we live with cats. While she and I were lounging in the front porch sunshine, Smokey was feeling particularly affectionate. She rubbed against Kyla's chair for attention and Kyla held out her hands to pet the kitty, squealing in delight. Smokey actually came back a few more times! Desperate kitty, indeed.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, for I am 6 Months Old!

A cold carrot stick makes Kyla's "teeth" feel better. She drinks by allowing water to go into her mouth, and then tilting her chin down so that it all runs into her bib.

At her 6th month check up, Kyla was perfectly healthy, and weighed in at 16 pounds and 27 3/4 inches. (I think her height was measured inaccurately, as that would place her in the 90th percentile of height, while her weight is in the 50th percentile.)

I'm Standing!!

Kyla has no interest in sitting or rolling (not unlike our old dog), but she gets a kick out of standing. Here she leans against her exersaucer.

He likes me!

Cousin (or second cousin) Logan liked Kyla almost as much as she liked him!

Riding High

Wow, the kitchen floor looks a lot cleaner from up here!

Bathroom Sink Bath

Mama, I'm not sure about this. I barely fit!

Cupid Cutie

Perhaps you will notice that her wings are upside down, but she is so darn cute! Happy Valentine's Day!

Kyla's first wine party

Our 5th annual wine and chocolate party was a success. Kyla wasn't the party animal we'd thought she'd be. Maybe she's not comfortable in a huge crowd. Maybe she was feeling a little underdressed, not wearing satin and high heels.

Here she is with, Paula, one of the babysitters that made this event possible for parents.

This lady is crazy!

Kyla seems to think the lady (Mama) taking all these pictures is a little loco. She's probably right.
