Kayla - 8 months old

Kayla has now turned 8 months old. She now weighs in at 20 lbs 13 ounces, and is 72 cm long, so she is above the 90th percentile for height and weight, so another big girl! But to compare, Mattea was the same height and weight at 6 months old, so Kayla is still "small" to us! She now has two teeth, and is putting them to good use by eating lots of finger foods (cheese being a favourite!) She has been standing for over a month now, and is walking around on furniture. She will let go and balance but has yet to take that first official step - but something tells me, it won't be long! She loves her Daddy, and her "T'ah" and wants to be included in all of their games, and joins right in with their craziness. She is proving to be a real mischief maker- she has a radar going anywhere, touching (and subsequently eating) everything she shouldn't (shredding kleenex, going in bathrooms, opening doors/drawers, trying to eat door stoppers, eating shoes, eating plants - with no discrimination between real and fake:-/) So all that to say, she keeps us on our toes, but she has a grin on her face the whole time, and with that dimple, it makes it hard to keep a straight face when keeping up with her antics!

Her first "snow" - we saw flurries and Mattea insisted that we hurry and go outside to play in the snow. I think it was a bit of a disappointment!
Playtime in Tea's room before bed - usually includes wearing hats and having tea parties (she is holding one of the hats, which she promptly attempted to eat)

Payback time for all the cheek pinching she gets! (and for Daddy and Tea putting this crazy hat on!)







On her way to find something else to do - clearly she is above playing with her toys:-P

She sounds like YOU! Lol. You were the craziest kid but so darn cute we couldn't help but laugh as we told you no. Grandma was the worst when you were 1 or 2, she would always give her "guffaw" laugh - negating the words:-) You were more than entertainment for all of us!

She's sooooo big (Mattea being bigger she was HUGE). :)

lol...yes Janessa, Mattea was and IS huge! (outgrowing some size 4 clothes!!!) And the funny part was, although she was chubby, she wasn't even "Kennedy" fat, so she was really just THAT tall! Its hard to remember that she is not even 2 1/2 yet!

I will post some recent pics of her soon!

well that look in Kayla's eye is more Brent & Davis. LOL You were very cute but it was your mouth, not necessarily getting into mischief. Kayla looks like mischief to me! :) She'll keep you hopping. [PS I hope my Christmas gifts fit :/ The kids told me they were toooo big!]

Haha, Mom, I think Mattea inherited my kind of "mischief" - a highly functioning mouth! Kayla is definitely joining the skud missile family - not sure what # we are on?!

And with my kids I've learned that if something looks really big - go a size bigger! LOL....I hold up clothes, and go "nah, that will never fit them" - only to put it on and realize that the pants are now capris!

But good news is...if Mattea's doesn't fit - it can always go to Kayla so it will never go to waste!
