Milestones

Experiencing Kayla's milestones is kind of like watching your favourite TV re-runs. The second time round is slightly different - you love the show so much you would gladly watch it again but this time round you know how it turns out and sometimes, you can't wait to fast forward the boring bits to get to the good part.


Which explains why this entry should have been done three weeks ago when Kayla FIRST started sitting up by herself. There was an initial "Hey look what she can do!" excitement but that fizzled out way before the video camera was whipped out.


We're still really proud that she can do this just before her 6 months mark but we're more interested in the walking and talking stage this time round.


In some ways, she's quicker than Alicia in terms of development but in others, she's a little behind (alicia had two teeth at 7 months; Kayla's got none at 6.5 months). I'm attributing the lag to the fact that I evicted her three weeks early which I'm using as an excuse for any delay in her milestones.


Here's Kayla trying to sit up by herself. She's not totally stable yet so it usually tends to be resting on her arms....

or leaning precariously to one side.
