A Message from Kaida:

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

It was a big month around here. In January, Kaida:

*Started reaching, grabbing and lunging for things very purposefully. Girl knows what she wants.
*Started babbling, lots of "bababa, dadadad, gagaga", etc. Very cute, especially when she is mad
*Had her first solid foods. So far she has tried sweet potato, avocado, pear, banana, carrot, broccoli, zucchini, and honeydew. She is not eating much of them yet, more just playing with them, but it is very cute and she seems to enjoy it.
*Started working toward crawling. She hasn't gotten the coordination down, but she pulls herself from sitting onto her belly and clearly wants to go somewhere. She scoots a little and loves to stand holding on to our hands
*Moved to her crib. I wouldn't call this a success yet, but really it's not going much worse than her co-sleeper was before we moved her. We just need to get her to stop waking up and screaming when she is put down....
*Went on her first vacation. This included a lot of firsts such as, plane ride, boat ride, leaving the country, going in the ocean, going in the pool, meeting her west coast family, bus ride, trip to disney (even if brief and not actually in the park...)
*Unfortunately had her first cold. It was not bad and really only one bad day plus some stuffies.
*Got a bit more hair, which means it is kinda crazy as it grows in and is whispy and in all directions :) very cute
