...and she cooks, too!

Well, not exactly. I whipped up a batch of pureed broccoli for Kian the other day and although it did not get rave reviews from the grown-ups, it is a big hit in the baby world. Kian particularly enjoys it with a dash of garlic. Mmmmm... delicious!

Get up, Stand up

Kian is normally in a good mood when he wakes up in the morning, but this morning he was in a particularly good mood... He figured out how to get from a laying position to a standing position by himself!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Bubble bath

Bath time is still one of Kian's favorite times of day. And one of his favorite things to do during bathtime is eat the bubbles... we think he bears a striking resemblance to Colonel Sanders in this picture.

Kian's First Christmas

Mmmmm....

Now that Kian is into his seventh month, he is enjoying a variety of solid foods... As you can see by this picture, he likes to cover himself and his surroundings with squash and also enjoys apples!

And the winner is....

DADA!

Cody and I have been trying to get Kian to say mama or dada for a while now. Kian is babbling more and more these days and we've heard a few words mixed into the babbles. Today, though, Kian clearly said Dada without any extra babbles surrounding it. Of course, we know that he doesn't know what it means, but we're still proud parents. And the little elephant toy that Kian called Dada is pretty proud, too.

Kian is also able to sit unsupported for a longer period of time now, as long as we help him get into the sitting position. We've been trying to help him learn how to crawl, but he still still prefers rolling as his method of transportation.
