At the Zoo

Kyla noticed animals for the first time and LOVED watching the otters race past the viewing window. Here, she is just as interested in the otter statues.

First Picnic

Rochelle, Keith, Dwayne, Kyla, and I went on our first picnic of the season at Cottage Lake. Instead of playing on the blanket, she preferred to sit with Daddy. Was she just trying to get the fried chicken?

Family BBQ

Noah and Trent (cousins of some sort to Kyla) pose with Kyla and Teddy at Eric and Traci's house.

"Playing" with Sammy

Jen & Ben dropped off Sammy for a few hours. He's 2 1/2; she's just 8 months. There seems to be no spark of interest.

Mother's Day

Three generations gathered at Aunt Janet's for a Mother's Day celebration.

Grandma is actually looking at pictures of Kyla.

Bathing Beauty

It was the warmest day of the year thusfar, so Kyla treated herself to an afternoon at the park.

Yum.

All done, Mom!

Splish Splash!

I like food. I like milk. I like naps. I like toes. I like Teddy. But I LOVE my bath.

Mama should really take pictures of all the water on the kitchen floor. That is truly impressive, if I do say so myself.

Fixation

All right. Let's go over this again.

1. Open mouth. [Wider. Yes, that's it.]
2. Insert anything.

Kyla Goes to the Zoo

I'm not sure that Kyla really noticed any animals with the distraction of leaves, water features, and other children, but she enjoyd the outing almost as much as her mother did.

Here, she takes a banana break. Look, Ma, no hands!
