The fabulous weekend adventures of Kiya

Kiya had a very busy weekend. Here is a recap :)

Saturday:

--Went to State Street for a little stroll. Had lunch (well mom and dad) at Dotty Dumplings (best burgers in Madison) and then Babcock ice cream.

--After her nap, went to the park for the first time and swung on a swing. She LOVED it.

--Showed off for Mom and Dad, her new ability to clap. She is just so cute and very proud of herself.

Sunday:

--Went to CornFest :)

--Attended the first birthday party for her friend Mia. I promise I will post pictures of Princess Mia and the Fabulous Kiya. They are so cute together and their names rhyme :)

--She decided it was time to actually sit up in the bath tub instead of just lounging. She was splashing the water with her hands and grabbing her toys. Usually she would just chill, kick the water and try to grab the wash cloth.

--Again decided to impress Mom and Dad with a new skill. She grabbed her bottle and actually got the nipple in her mouth and drank. She has been able to grab and hold her bottle for awhile but usually would just play with it and didn't quite have the aim to her mouth down pat. Well now she does. :)

We are more and more amazed by Kiya every day. She is really working things out. You can almost see the little wheels spinning in her head. It is just such a neat feeling. She is still trying to figure out the crawling thing but she will get there and soon probably. Better start baby proofing. In the mean time she loves to scoot :)

I have recently gone on quite the shopping spree for Miss Kiya as well. You see she is still a tad on the small size for her age but she has these long legs which are chubby and just wonderful. Well those legs are pushing her out of 6-9 month cloths and right into 12 month. WOW. Do you have any idea how hard it was to find non-flannel pajamas in WI in August in 12 month size? Next to impossible.

As I was shopping and looking at clothes for her it hit me. My little girl is no longer a newborn in the eyes of fashion anymore. She is a big girl. Her pajamas don't come in packs of three anymore and the clothing choices are less baby cute and more little girl cute. It is fabulous and sad all at the same time. Fabulous because she is thriving and growing and sad because it is all happening so fast. 3 months ago she could still wear 0-3 month clothes....
