test 4 transfer: 7 months old

Our princess is 7 months old today - wow! This evening, she decided to show us that she could sit now...I'll have to get a picture of that soon. Kaela loves to smile, and adores her brother. She always knows what she wants, and tells us pretty clearly. A little fuss to let us know she's awake and wants up; another little fussy noise and pushing backward until she's lying down in your arms to let you know she's hungry (or trying to nurse); trying to sit up when she needs to burp; spitting out her bottle when she's full; another little fuss when she's tired of talking to you and wants to play with her toys; and finally, a short little whine/cry when she's done and ready for bed. It's amazing how easy she is to take care of - and a blessing! She's always happy, and often talking to us, playing quietly with her toys or watching her brother. Kaela truly is our beloved sweetheart.

Here are a few pictures of our beautiful girl.

This smile rarely leaves her face when she's awake.

See my curly Mohawk?

I was working at the computer the other day, and Christopher was playing in his toy room with his toys, while Kaela was asleep upstairs. Suddenly I heard on Kaela's monitor: "Hi beauful Kaea. Hi. You awake Kaea? Hi beauful Kaea." I went running upstairs to discover that my son had learned to climb into her crib! He was straddled over her on his knees, his face about 1/2 inch from hers, alternating between talking to her and leaning close enough to kiss her. It was so adorable! (And of course, a little alarming. I put a handle lock on the OUTSIDE of her door so he can't get in.)

Today when I went in to wake her up , he climbed on up into her crib again - and I decided I needed the camera.

"Hi, Beauful Kaea!"
