| Hi! |
Well, April seemed to go by quickly, yet drag on. I blame the weather.
Kaylee is slowly making progress on the crawling front. She will go forward on her hands from a seated position and rock back and forth. She will also flip onto her stomach. But she has yet to put everything together. Soon though. We really need to childproof, but I am not looking forward to that at all. So I keep putting it off!
Kaylee also cut her front two bottom teeth! Finally. I think the whole house is glad she is no longer teething. Not that she drools any less now. So lovely.

She also said her first word! It is "Kitty". Or really, more like "keeh-ti". Close enough, right? She also says "dada" and "Mum mum" but I'm not as convinced that those are directly at us. Although "dada" is usually when something if is fun. "Mum mum" is usually reserved for diaper changes and other things that make her unhappy. Nice. I'll remind her of that every Mother's Day.

We took our first zoo trip as well for my mom's birthday. My mom volunteers at the zoo so it was a special outing. My mom has made a connection with an orangutan named Melati and was excited to show Kaylee off. She wasn't sure if Melati would recognize her without her volunteer outfit, but Melati stopped in mid stride on the other side of the enclosure when she spotted my mom. She then came all the way over and watched my mom and Kaylee. It was pretty amazing. And for those who know me, I do not like Monkeys or Apes, but even this heart of stone was melted.

Easter was also fun. Kaylee is really too little for much, but I did make her up an Easter basket. I took a bunch of those plastic eggs and filled them with different stuff like rice, beans, beads to make rattles for Kaylee. She thought those were pretty cool.

So now we just wait for teeth to grow in and babies to get mobile and this is one mom who is excited for Mother's Day! Maybe the hubby will read this and see that massages, pedicures and good food are all welcome presents. :D
