Height: 26 inches (no percentiles this month since these are our own crude measurements)
Weight: 14 lbs 12.8 ounces
Clothing size: Still wearing some 0-3 month onesies, but 0-3 pants are pretty much out of style. She’s mostly in 3-6 month outfits. Carter’s and The Children’s Place seem to be the most true-to-size, though- I’m sad to say that she has some Gerber and Fisher Price clothes that she can’t even wear because they are too small, and they’re supposedly size 6-9 months!
Eyecolor: She seems to have gray eyes most days now, but sometimes they are still blue, depending on what she’s wearing. If you look closely, you’ll see tiny brown spots, too!
Teeth: Her two bottom front teeth are here! She keeps shoving her fingers (or anyone else’s really) back where her right molar is, and I thought I caught a glimpse of a tiny part of it poking out, but I’m really not sure.
Favorite things: Her favorite toys right now are her two rattles, her singing purple dinosaur, and mostly any stuffed animal, which would include her red mouse, orange kitty, valentine bear and blue octopus. She also loves being tickled and trying to sit up on her own. The exersaucer is one of her favorite places to hang out- she has even figured out how to rock back and forth in it and jump just a tiny bit. She loves reading books and listening to me sing. Kaya finally saw my guinea pigs, and she smiles so big and just can’t stop watching them.
She is also obsessed with her toes. She grabs them, stares at them, eats them… they’re a multipurpose plaything. Dislikes: The carseat, baths, and anything on her face (which includes putting shirts over her head or rinsing her hair in the bathtub). Also, Michael was reading her a book once, and made an “elephant” sound… she bawled. He tried it again another day when she could actually see him do it, and she still hated it! There’s just something scary about your daddy acting like an elephant, I guess.
Sleep: She goes down between 6:30-7 pm and generally stays asleep until about 5:45 am when she eats. After that, she’ll hang out in her crib or doze back to sleep until around 7:30 am. We did have a week or so where she was waking up for an extra feeding at night, but I’m glad to say that it was short-lived! She takes a morning nap usually around 10 am, and then an afternoon one around 1 pm. She fusses about it but will usually fall asleep for at least an hour at a time.Milestones, etc.:
– She learned to roll over!
– Her sense of humor is really starting to come out. She loves all the funny voices and sounds we make to get her to laugh.
– She’s been babbling for a while now, but in the past few days, the way she does it is different. It almost has some inflection to it, and she really moves her lips around a lot more. There was a day that she said “hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”, and we were both flabbergasted by how human it sounded. Does that count as her first word?
– She’s become a thumb-sucker…

– We had to move the snap setting on her cloth diapers to make them taller! She was getting too big, and I don’t think low-rise diapers are quite in style.
– She is SO close to sitting up on her own! We still use the boppy pillow for support, and she does topple over when she tries to reach for a toy, but we’re getting there.

She also tries to wiggle to get where she wants to go. She makes crawling-like motions, but doesn’t really get anywhere yet.Dear Kaya,
Suddenly you seem like such a big girl! You get stronger each and every day! I’m so proud of how hard you try when you do something new. We’re really starting to see your personality- we love how happy and excited you are about everything! You really are such a chipper baby. Your smile and snuggles are my favorite things about you. Your new teeth make your grin even cuter! Thanks for coming to be in our family, Little Sweetie. We love you so much and feel so blessed to have you!
