November 2008

Kyla's been a very busy girl! She loves to dance, play, and hit her parents. Okay. We are working on that last one. We fend off the frustration by convincing ourselves that it is just her exuberance!

In all her exuberance, she is increasing her vocabulary by the day. I started writing down all of her words so far, including often-used favorites like "goggies" (doggies), "wa" (water), "nana" (banana), and mostly "no". But every day she repeats something we say (time to watch our mouths...) and surprises us. Her list of words used more than once without prompting is up to nearly 40. Already a little chatterbox!

Okay. Now here are some recent visuals.

Fun in the tub!




Our budding acrobat:




Halloween night.
Kyla wore camouflage for a costume the day before, but on halloween itself she just doned some glamorous glasses for part of the time and chased kids down the block the other part. She was amazed that all of these people were coming to her house!






Dan's "costume" freaked out even the older kids. Clearly Kyla was baffled by it as well.





A piano lesson (from a guy who doesn't know how to play.... anyone can teach "banging" haha!) at Grandma's house.





And, yes, she is enjoying feeding herself as much as possible, even if it means pesto all over by the end of the meal. Too bad we forgot the bib this time!
