on the go
16 January 2006
I declared that yesterday was Kayla’s official crawling day. She has been working on it for a while and over the last week she would take one or two crawling steps but then plop back down on her belly. Today in the ski lodge she ventured a bit further. Tonight she was really using it to just move around here and there for the first time. She is still a pretty slow mover but I’m sure that will change in no time. And guess what she went after right away… yup, the cat and the electrical outlets. Go figure.
Kayla also really enjoys when we hold out our hands and she can pull herself up to standing. She then likes to walk a bit. She’s getting quite good at that.
We went snowboarding on Sunday with Rad and Beth who had two youngsters to look after. It was a pretty fun day. I was just glad we got out riding again as there had been so much rain. Kayla and I started a signing class at the zoo. We so far have learned signs for the farm animals which I have been practicing while reading Kayla any books with farm animals. She has really been using the signs for “more, milk and all done” quite a lot lately. She even through in “to eat”. At the grocery store today, she signed more to a lady who had been flirting with Kayla. What a cutie. The one sock on, one sock off that you see in the photo is a Kayla signature.
