Unfortunately, dad's still working on the desk-top computer (he's doing homework...something I should be thinking about finishing up myself! ;) ), so I can't post any updated pictures with this post tonight. I have lots of cute pictures to post though, of the past week or two. I guess my head is swarming with things tonight, and I wanted to jot down just a few of the things that I'm thinking about, as it relates to Kairis of course! Lately, I've been around many babies it seems, and Kairis, I know I'm biased, but I don't find nearly as many that are as alert and observant as you are. You are amazing--I really believe that! I am starting to see some gift-ings that God has blessed you with already in your young age. I see that you are very perceptive of people's feelings, reactions and facial expressions/body language. You observe people endlessly....just like your mom. :) You react when you see something you don't like, generally by crying or averting your head into my shoulder. You are sensitive to negative or loud gestures/noises. You absolutely light up when you're confronted by a feline species, and love petting our sweet kitty-friend, Emma. You giggle most of all at young children. It's like they bring out the essence of their innocence or something, and you are fully aware of that, and it makes you laugh. As my dear friend, Christine pointed out to me tonight, it's like you can tell she's sad and you have such a look of compassion and understanding on your little face. I am thoroughly enjoying watching you grow and observing how God has created you! Anyway...those are a few things I've noticed in the past month, or even before that, as your personality starts to spill out more and more.
In other news...you are rolling from back to front, and vice-versa well, and scooting around in circles to get something you want. You have expressed a strong interest in food (mainly stuff that I'm eating!) and napkins or paper of any kind. You love grabbing my hair and chewing on it. You are ticklish under your arm-pits and on your belly button. You love the game "peek-a-boo" and hearing dad play the guitar. You have a strong attachment to me (mom) and dad. You are unsure of other adults, unless I'm holding you. I've thrown our night-time routine out the window, as you seem to be wanting to go to bed later than normal. (oh, and because I'm not the "cry-it-out" kinda mom! ;)) Now, it's not unusual for me to be carrying you in a ring-sling around the kitchen while cleaning or eating dinner at 9 or 10 at night, while you fall asleep. Once you're out, you're out and we're able to lay you down. It just seems to be what you need right now. I am reminding myself that your night-time needs are as important as your day-time needs. I find myself repeating that phrase to lots of new mom's at church, lately, to encourage them in their roles as well. You are back to sleeping through the night though, since having your cold. I am so thankful for that! :) Well, that's it for now...pictures to come soon!
