Standing Ovation

Wow! I started this post more than a month ago! As you may have guessed, life has been pretty crazy the last two months. There is so much to tell you about Kaiya – the last two months have been pretty eventful!

Kaiya started crawling in July, and she has been on the go ever since.

Just a few days later, she started pulling herself up on objects. Now she is cruising along the edges.

Kaiya also attended her very first wedding in July. A co-worker of Chris’ got married up in Columbus. The ceremony was held in a conservatory, and we were able to get a tour. Kaiya loved looking at all the plants and butterflies.



The reception was held at a golf course.

While we waited for the bridal party, Kaiya entertained us with a game of peek-a-boo.

In August, Chris’ brother Karl and our 5-year-old nephew flew out from Virginia for a visit. It was great to see them – it had been way too long. Kaiya and Gredan had tons of fun together. I almost wish that Kaiya had a big brother or sister to play with!

Kaiya has really started “talking” a lot, and she is already speaking in complete sentences. She says, “I did it” or “I do it.” Of course, she doesn’t realize what she is saying, but it is really cute. She is also imitating the sounds we make. She says “aiya” and makes g-sounds that sound like she is trying to repeat “good girl.” She also repeats sounds after we say “I love you,” so it sounds like she is saying it back to us.

The other night, Kaiya finally discovered the stairs. To this point, she hasn’t really shown any interest in them. But, she decided it was time to try them out. Not only did she make it up a step, she decided to crawl all the way to the top!

Here are some cute photos of Kaiya:
