And she is off . . .

Let's Have a Tea Party...

Kaiyah got a tea set from Zeke for Christmas and she really likes to play tea party with her baby, whose name, incidentally, is Baby. Today, she was playing and Dan turned on a kids' song called, "Let's Have a Tea Party." Kaiyah stood up and said, excitedly, "That my tea party song!" and then she asked it to be played over and over again. Fun stuff.

Sierra, continued...

Here's what Tami was talking about in the post below (read it if you haven't). Sierra loves the camera. She can be pitching a really big fit about something, and if we pick up the camera and take her picture, she immediately stops crying and starts smiling. Usually, we can't even get a picture of her when she's crying, but the picture below shows a progression of about 10 seconds. She's a mess.

Sierra is 6 months old!

Yesterday, Sierra was officially 6 months old. Where has the time gone? At six months, here's a little bit about Sierra:

* She can sit up for a few seconds, but isn't really stable yet.
* She is up on all fours and lunging around the living room. I have no doubt it will be a full blown crawl in no time.
* She loves to eat and is pretty good at feeding herself "fist foods."
* She does not like crowds . . . AT ALL. We discovered this Thanksgiving Day, and it was confirmed again last night at our Christmas party. Our typically laid back, happy baby becomes pretty hysterical in crowds, to the point of being a challenge to calm down. It's the strangest thing. She has also developed 'stranger anxiety', crying whenever someone she doesn't know well talks to her. Notable exceptions, there have been several 30-something single guys that she has been perfectly happy to spend the evening sitting in their laps.
* She is her daddy's girl, whenever she is crying, Dan gets out the camera to take a picture and she IMMEDIATELY starts smiling. She's a mess!
