We are so enjoying this new season Kairis has brought us into! She's talking all the time now, from dawn till dusk it seems, and even in her sleep occasionally. It's been all about the "da-da's", but as of last night, she's saying "ma-ma" now too. :) She's actually able to recognize Tim and I and say the right word for the right person. It's very sweet. She's also cruising, and crawling everywhere. She loves climbing into the dishwasher when I'm trying to load or unload it, and pull things off the coffee table in the living room. She is bumping her head more too--it's hard for me to "get used to" seeing her be so daring and then occasionally take a tumble. She's putting more sounds together, like la-ba-da, and other sounds like that. She's eating well too, and loves nearly everything we offer her. Tomorrow is her 9 month check up with Dr. Joel. I'm curious to see how much she weighs, and what percentiles she falls into with height and weight. Here are some fun pictures to enjoy!
