Ok, here we go... Here's my modest attempt to document our daughter's first year here... I started a baby web page, which went well at first - until I got an email from the "site administrator" letting me know that I haven't made any changes to the site since September of 2009. So... I've got at least 6 months to catch up on ... [sigh.] Will I ever learn that procrastination gets me nowhere?!

Anyway, here's what's new: Kylie is 10 1/2 months old. At her last weigh-in she was about 17 lbs. She eats like a champ - feeding herself finger foods and she's been using a sippee cup in place of the bottle for at least the last 4 months.

She's been crawling for about a month now, but her method of getting from place to place has evolved from the standard 2-handed, double-knee'd crawl. Currently she's planting her left foot sole-to-floor, and dragging her right knee behind her. Occasionally, she'll toss in the full version with both feet flat on the floor and "walk" on both hands and feet. Its like watching her do a walking version of the yoga pose "downward dog" ... too funny. Here's an example, (also starring our new kitty, Mr. Blu)

Here's another one showing Kylie playing with Blu... he is just an incredible cat. He totally tolerates her and his coping mechanism for not dealing with her antics at the moment - simply roll away... love it!

More Kylie can do as she's quickly approaching 11 months:

She says, "ki-ki" for kitty, says "da-da" all the time and we even suspect she says "happy baby" (I have witnesses!). She is whining when she doesn't get what she wants (like play with the knobs on the stereo), and clamps her jaw down tight when she doesn't like what you try to put in her mouth. She is mimicking sounds and always seems to be singing something.

Oh, and she has 4 top teeth, and two bottom, and a molar even poked through just over a week ago - crazy.
