This month Kayla got to spend a little bit of time with her cousin, Abby! This was the first time that the girls were able to kind of interact with each other. Abby is a pro at walking around, and Kayla is just starting out this month. Kayla is able to walk while mostly holding onto things.
Poor Kayla was scared of Abby. Abby kind of knocked into her a little bit and Kayla cried and fussed. I was surprised that she wasn't used to this at daycare with all the other kids, but she seemed a little bit scared of Abby at first.
However, they were so cute in the end! They were peeking out at each other and playing peekaboo! It was too cute! Here they are in their cousin's bibs! Quite a difference from the first time they wore them.
Here's my girl playing with her basketballs. She loves BALLS. Any type of ball. It's almost always her favorite thing to play with.
Every day Kayla comes home and starts digging through her daycare bag. She always pulls out her day summary report or her "report card" and looks at it.
She also loves to pull everything out and scatter them across the house.
Here she is with her report card.
Kayla loves Elmo! She loves watching Sesame Street and her favorite part is when the "letter of day" song comes on. She bounces and bops to it and always gets a big smile.
Me and my girl snuggling!
Here is my girl walking with her walker in the basement. She is really starting to move around.
Here she is playing in the basement. It's pretty much a big wide open space so she can really get moving with her little walker.
So whenever I give Kayla snacks at home, she gets really excited and her little feet start bouncing. Well, I told the girl at daycare that I was going to start sending in snacks for her, and the girl goes "oh good, I'm glad that you are because I've been meaning to tell you that she gets excited whenever I give snacks to the other kids, but I never have any for her so I can't give her any." WHAAAT! My poor baby! I just imagine her little feet bouncing and her being excited to get snacks and never get any! Poor little thing! Next day mama sent the whole bag of snacks above!
Every time I go to the bathroom... this is what I see. Cody and Kayla follow after me and she plays peekaboo with me on the other side of the door. She gets so excited!
Baby girl LOVES her books! But she has started chewing them this month! AH!
So she used to have this tote out where she could just go over and grab whatever book she wanted... but now I had to change it to a container with a lid so that she can't get them and start chewing on them. She was ruining book after book.
She also loves getting into EVERYTHING! She loves pulling her diapers out of her diaper caddy. So we had to move her diapers up too, because she was throwing them all around the house.
Kayla loves being on daddy's shoulders.
And she loves getting daddy!
Happy baby!
Scared daddy! Look at that "little rascal"
She is such a goof ball! She never really took to pacifiers... this is how she sucks on them.. with the nipple facing the other direction.
Here she is "helping me" with the laundry.
Kayla had her first Halloween this month! She went as a duckling in honor of her favorite book "Little Quack."
My Little duck!
We passed out candy for the first 45 minutes or so, and then we went to a few houses close to us. Grandpa held down the fort and passed out candy while we were gone.
Here she is in her stroller with her trick or treat bag!
Cutest little duck around!
Grandpa and baby.
Kayla has an ongoing collection of Minnie Mouses. All of these either sing or talk. She loves playing with all of them.
We got to go to the park and swing on the swing. Kayla kinda likes swinging, but she wasn't really too into it this year.
We got a toy box for Kayla downstairs to try to manage the toys that are in our living room.
Kayla loves her Cosi!
Here is Kayla in one of her many halloween outfits. She was a little star this halloween season with tons of different outfits everyday!
Aunt Hannah watched Kayla for a few hours while mommy went shopping. This was the first time that Aunt Hannah watched Kayla and it was only the third time we've had any but daycare watch her.
