Nine Months In / Nine Months Out
Jun
I realize this blog is getting updated less and less. The most amazing thing about babies? They just grow faster and faster. Kahlan grew in my belly for a good nine plus months, from peanut to baby… Now? At nine months old Kahlan is a whirlwind of activity.
Having mastered the crawl around six months, we are seemingly days from her first steps. She is cruising with regularity and standing on her own holding a toy in each hand. In fact a few days ago I caught her with Daddy’s iPhone, free standing and holding it in one hand while madly working the touchscreen with the other pointer finger.
Our days are spent exploring her world, visiting the library twice a week, daily reading sessions and a myriad of enriching activities while still managing to squeeze in time to do dishes (most days). I am regulated to hobbies I can do while she naps in my arms since it’s the only time she slows down. Hence, I’ve been reading more and am working on a side project that has left less blog time lately.
Here are a few newer pictures of Kahlan for those who have been asking:

4 Month Kahlan Update
Feb
We’ve hit the four month mark and have a beautifull and engaging baby girl to show for it. Kahlan is a wonder to behold. Full of smiles and good natured to the core, her days are now full of mommy time and endless adventure. She has discovered her toes (and how to gnaw on them), broke through her volume control and burst forth with joyous screeching giggles.
Still at the top of her charts, her new stats are as follows:
15 lbs 11oz
25″ tall
16.5″ head
That explains my huge biscept!
Teething is ramping up. The drool flows in gushes and everything in reach is a chew toy (including Mommy & Daddy). With the doctors ok we have begun letting her taste some fruits, no solid offerings just licks of juice, and she’s loving it. Watching her eager little open burst mouth when we pour ourselves orange juice is a crack up. She about took off Daddys finger when he offered her a taste!
My first Turkey…

I have figured out “holiday” means mommy dresses me in more complicated and/or silly themed clothes, the kitchen room smells funny (although oddly intrigueing) and Daddy is home during daytime. I think I like it, but the endless bright flashes could stop anytime now…

Boiling Hot!!!
Nov
Ok Mommy, I know you say it’s cute, but realy is this necessary??? Your honestly going to make me wear this puffy hot thing just so Daddy can play portrait studio and you can tease me with a pile of candy you won’t share with me? My cousin the Power Ranger says this whole “Halloween” thing is great and just a special day for us littles. I’m not convinced…
