Kaya is now almost seven months old (one week to go) and she weighs 12lbs 13oz. She has one little tooth poking through on the bottom, and she can sit up and roll over (back to stomach and stomach to back). She is not crawling yet, I think she will take a couple more months to get there. She is very energetic and spends much of her day rolling all over the house, and squealing (she is very vocal). I have been feeding her some veggies and rice cereal recently, and she seems to love all of it. Yesterday, for the first time ever, she sat in the grocery cart while I shopped. I buckled her in and she thoroughly enjoyed sitting there and surveying the different flavors of baby food I was buying for her. She even tried to pick up one of the little plastic tubs of food next to her, and she made this grunting sound like she was picking up something really heavy, and then put it down, as if it was just too much for her. It was so funny. I am also trying to teach her "don't touch", and sometimes she will listen and pull her hand away from something, but more often she just grins at me and keeps playing with whatever it is. The worst part is that if I try to use a somewhat stern voice, she just seems to think it is funny. I think she is going to be trouble. :) Chris made it through the semester with three A's, one B, and one C. Pretty good considering how impossibly hard his classes are. He is now working full time again for AutoZone, and trades his time between the Idaho Falls and Rexburg stores. I have been working a few hours a week for the same company I worked with before I had Kaya; Mostly I work at home, but sometimes I take Kaya in with me, or leave her home with Chris for a couple of hours. We are all looking forward to a fun summer and we are patiently waiting for the good weather so we can start spending our days outside in the sun!
