Kyrah has had at least two big events - 1) she is crawling and 2) she got sick for the first time. I will start with the more fun crawling event. For the past month and a half she would lean forward and get up on her hands and a knee and a foot usually, but she just wouldn't go anywhere. Then she would move backwards because she would fall down to her belly then push herself up on her hands and slide back. She didn't really like doing this and it didn't last long. About 2 weeks ago she started crawling. At first it looked like she would get up on her hands and her knees or a knee and a foot then would sit back down - this would move her a few inches at a time … and she would repeat - up on the knees down on her butt…up on her knees down on her butt. This was cute and she didn't move that far so you didn't have to worry about her crawling off. She did this for a few days, then she actually started crawling - not the traditional hands and knees, but more hands on knee perpendicular to her body and one foot on the ground and she would move forward doing that. Now she is much better at crawling - she will still do it a bit odd, but I have seen her crawl the traditional way as well. It only took 9 1/2 months before she started crawling. Way to go Kyrha! Great Job! Here are some pics of her crawling around the kitchen.

She thinks she is hot stuff sitting under the table!

We learned this morning that we need to go through the house and move some things. She crawled from our bedroom to the kitchen and started playing with Lupa's food.


Other fun things that she does is wave bye and hi, though she has done that for awhile now, and she will give you five - most of the time. We are working on blowing kisses, but that is proving very difficult. And she likes to make the Indian noise with her mouth - she will say something and we have to pat her mouth so it changes noise.

She also had another sad moment. She actually got sick for the first time this week. On Monday night she threw up at 1:30. I heard her make a little noise and I knew something was not right. I jumped out of bed and went over and the poor little peanut had thrown up all over herself and on her bed stuff. Dad came over and cleaned up the bed while I cleaned up Kyrah. There were green beans everywhere. Kyrah and I came out to the couch to sleep - I didn't want her to be alone. Then she threw up again at 2 - not very much, I guess there was just a little more badness left in her tummy. After that she finally slept well (on me). Then all week long the poor thing has had mushy poops. Daycare had to give her a bath one day she messed her pants so bad. That lasted pretty much Monday to Thursday. Thursday was a bit better so I am hoping it is all over. The good thing is that she never was cranky or upset, just not as peppy as usual. I really need to count myself lucky that she is 10 months today and has just now gotten sick. She must take after Dad on her immunities.
