Today, January 27 is an important milestone for Kiyana. She just made 6 months old. It's amazing to see how much she has grown and how much she has learned. Kim and I are so blessed to have Kiyana in our lives. We can't imagine life without her. Just when you thought you have loved someone at the most, it's nothing compared when it's your own child as it's a love beyond anything you have experienced.
Here are some skills that Kiyana has mastered:
1. Rolling from one location to another
2. She has good eyes. She can follow you around the room with her eyes.
3. Belly laughs, giggles whenever there's something funny happening.
4. She can make complete turns (360's) on her tummy.
5. One of the fastest tummy crawlers on her block.
6. She knows how to say Mama and Dada.
7. She knows who Mama and Dada is.
8. Mimics sounds and noises you make.
9. Can stand on her feet but needs to hold onto something sturdy.
10. Understands the words, "take a bath! take a bath! take a bath!", "mummum", and "shhhhhhhh".
11. Bathes really well. Knows how to splash and dips her hair in the water.
12. Finally eating solids as of January 26, 2008.
13. Attentive listener when we read her books.
14. Smiles at everyone she sees.
15. She knows how to strike up a conversation and make friends.
16. Sippy Cup drinker.
17. Balances on all 4's.
18. Knows how to "peek-a-boo" with her blanket or while under the covers.
19. Knows how to "agree" to true statements with a "mmmmmm".
A few things that she hasn't learned as a baby:
1. She doesn't know how to suck on a pacifier. She chews on it and spits it out.
2. She doesn't know how to drink from the bottle. Instead, she drinks from a sippy cup.
3. Not sleeping through the night.
4. She doesn't suck on her thumb, she sucks on all her fingers.
5. Doesn't know how to cook.
6. Hasn't learned how to drive a car.
