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
