 About her personality:

Kailah still has a very outgoing personality, she loves playing with other babies and really enjoys going to the park and meeting other babies her size. She loves swinging in the bucket swings and really enjoys being outside. She loves geting dirty at the beach and enjoys watching the waves come in and dipping her feet in the ocean too.  

She LOVES balloons! Everytime we are at the store she always sees the balloons before I do, and she ALWAYS gets a balloon from Trader Joes when we go (spoiled!)

Kai really enjoys her baby einstein DVD's and moves back and forth to the music when she hears it. Every time I say 'baby einsteins' she always looks over at the TV and starts walking to it cause she knows im going to put one on for her.  Kailah has mastered walking around by herself, she really likes to pick things up with her as she walks around and take them from place to place, she always acts very accomplished after doing this. I love seeing the things she picks up to try to carry around, things that are WAY to big for her to carry, but somehow she does it.

Kailah has been learning new words, I think the very first one she understood and could say was Mum-mum, we used to give her these rice cakes called mum-mums and she loved them and would always say that when she wanted one.  She also says Dadada dadada. And her latest word is uh-uh(meaning uh-oh).

While I was taking a shower Kailah had gotten into her dirty diapers and when I got out of the shower and went to check on her I was Horrified to see poop smeared on her face and hands. I immediately threw her in the bath and called poison control. apparently if babies eat their own poop it doesn't harm them! Thank goodness! but I wonder how much she ate! Yuck!

Kailah follows me around the house all day long. She loves being in the same room I am in. I think she enjoys following me from room to room cause it gives her somewhere to walk to and something to do instead of just sitting in the same place all day.

When I let Kailah feed herself her meals I always give her a utensil to use too and I always enjoy watching her try and use her utensil and she keeps it in her hand the whole meal. It wont be too much longer til she really knows how to use that spoon like a pro! A lot of times she feeds herself with her left hand so it will be interesting to find out what hand ends up being dominant.

Kai has this doll her grandma gave to her that she now loves to give hugs and carries around with her and she likes to go to sleep with it.  She also has learned how to give all her stuffed animals hugs. She still doesn't understand kisses and does not like them either.

She loves turning the pages of books. anytime I read her a book i can barely get through the first couple words before she wants to flip the page.

At 12 months Kailah has officially stopped nursing and is drinking whole milk from a sippy and eating finger foods. She is a really good eater and will eat pretty much anything you put in front of her. especially banana's, bread, mixed vegis, crackers.

Kailah is still a really good sleeper and sleeps from 8p-7:30a everynight and usually has two naps a day.
