(Just a heads up - I've got the flu as I write this and I am very dopey and unwell - so apologies if my writing doesn't make much sense LOL!)

Sorry it's late - Ive been extremely busy with party planning stuff! And next month's post will probably be a bit late too because I've got a hens night to organize - and I am Maid of Honour for Natty and Daves Wedding which is on the 28th of this month!

Since Kayla was born - she would grow a little more each week. Every week I would think "Nooo don't grow any more coz you're cute like this and I want you to stay this way forever!!" I still say that every week! But the thing is she just contininues to get cuter and cuter so I don't miss the cutie bubette every week before - because she just keeps on getting darn cuter!! hehe (If that makes sense!)

This Month has been pretty eventful! She went to her first Wedding (Heathers Brother Ben and his now wife Nancy)...


and my Brother Danial and his now fiance Evelyn finally got engaged!! CONGRATS AGAIN GUYS!...


Kayla's teeth are still coming along - she has the bottom two out, one top tooth just through and now the second top tooth is on it's way out. The pain isn't so bad for her now - she seems to be coping with it much better.

I have been trying very hard to make her say Mama - in fact I have been avoiding saying Dada to her - just so I could win the bet! (Haha!!) But the little bugger's first word (besides Lala) .... was Dada!!! (Dammit! lol) and she says it all day long now! Though she seems to think that I'm Dada - so that makes me feel a little better I guess! :-P hehe!

She also says "OH YEAH!" and cat! Cat has proven to be the cleverest so far because she actually knows what she is saying. When ever a cat enters the room she says "cat." It's very cute! (And we have enough of the bloody things to give her good practice!!)

She's such a fast learner! One night I put her to bed I was too tired to sing her a lullaby like I always do. So instead I made clicking noises with my tongue to amuse her. (Hard to explain) But the next day - all of a sudden Kayla could do it herself! I was quite impressed because you would think it would not be such an easy thing to do (not even all adults can do it!) She did it sooo often all day long just clicking away - but unfortunately I didn't get a video of it! I wish I did because that little phase seemed to end as soon as she started talking. Now she just talks away instead. But there were many witnesses to her clicks so at least the memory is there!

She started to crawl a couple of days a go (EEEK!!) Not a proper crawl just a little catterpilla crawl - she wriggles her little body forward while laying on her belly. I don't think it will take long at all though - she is very clever and is capable of so much when she is determined enough to do something.

I can not believe how chubby she is!! I especially noticed just how big Kayla is when my friend Ally brought her newborn little girl 'Shelly' over for us to meet.

Shelly at 3 weeks old...

I just can't believe Chubette was ever that small! lol


She's eating much more now and loves her food! (and no we don't over feed her - she is just naturally chubby lol!) We've just got to work on getting her to sleep through the night without the bottle - it's a habit that needs to be broken.

She is certainly getting more clingy now too! She is happy as Larry to be put down and play as long as I'm in the same room as her. But as soon as I leave the room she screams and carries on - like if I need to duck off to get something. As soon as I appear again - she gets a big smile on her face! She's a cheeky little thing!

She's also very selective with who holds her. She's getting better now because for a bit there she would cry at almost anyone even coming near her besides myself, Dan, Mum, Dad and Granma. But now she is selective and is more than happy to have some strangers cuddle her, but others she doesn't want to be near!

She seems to be more comfortable with Male strangers than female strangers! It's weird!!

But other than that - she's still as cute as ever!

Wow, you're looking great Rae! Kayla is so cute and such a chunky little chubba bubba! That's so exciting that she's starting to crawl, yay!

Bonnie would like to say 'Happy Birthday'. Sorry, it's all she thinks about these days! I told her it not either of your birthdays and she still insisted that she wants to say Happy Birthday anyway! (It's Grandma Elaine's birthday today so she's been singing to her!)
