13 Months Belated

So I'm late on posting for 13 months.  I suspect at some point, I'll move away from monthly posting updates.  However, right now Kyle is changing so much that I want to document all these moments.  Unfortunately this month culminated with Kyle's first real illness.  Our normally happy, sweet little baby wanted nothing more than to snuggle with her parents and sleep.  We did appreciate this moments, but it was hard to see her feeling so ill. Luckily, it did not last long, and she was back to her excited, on-the-go self.  Thank goodness Grampi is always a phone call away with medical advice to calm this worried mama. 

Kyle is beginning to engage more and more in play.  She loves pulling items out of anything and then stuffing them back in.  I have found many an object stuffed into her school bus.  She loves looking at the pages of books, but still is not real interested in sitting for the story.  Anything that makes noises, especially songs or animal sounds, is a delight.  When music plays, she'll stand, point her finger, and wiggle up and door.  Similar to her mother, she seems to love the 80s.  This month, Kyle learned to give hugs and it is wonderful.  Although she is very select on her timing.  She has become a bit more clingy, preferring her mama or TerTer (daycare provider) at times, but is still willing to give anyone a smile.

Kyle lost some interest in vegetables this month.  She continues to love cheese and now devours chicken and fish.  She is quite adept at feeding herself, preferring that in all circumstances.  Even better, she is not extremely messy and has yet to throw items on the floor.  Well, except for green beans.  We have yet to attempt a spoon for her, but I see that coming in the near future.

Words continue to grow, and she distinctively knows duck, dog, cat, and dada.  Mama is still just a babble ocassionally thrown in my direction to keep me satisfied.  She also has a new fascination with Woah and yells this any time, she thinks she is going fast.  This still delights me when we are running, and she's sitting in the stroller with her feet in the air, so excited. 

Kyle continues to be a delight.  We are so blessed.

Sometimes the best toys are the simplest things!
