After we painfully watched the Redskins and then the Patriots lose, we finally found a winning team!  Congrats to the Ravens!  Kaya watched in style.

Tracy and I went on a rockin’ food tour of Durham that really made me nostalgic for the area. There are so many high-end bakeries and restaurants in walking distance. This is a shot of a cupcake from Daisy Cakes. It features a heavy poundcake-like cake and a hearty, but not sweet, buttercream icing. Delicious!

She can officially crawl forward now. Time to baby proof the house 🙂

This is the first confirmed eating of real food. We’ve put things in her mouth before, but have never been sure it was going down the hatch. Apparently, she loves Butternut squash! Just like her mother.

Can we go now mom? I’m waiting!

Mostly a video of me making a monkey voice – but a few cute giggles too

Kaya is growing into her chair quite nicely – although I still have to put it on the bed so when she topples out of it she doesn’t slam her head on the floor.  But what a difference a couple months makes, eh?

Kaya suffers from a small amount of cradle cap (aka baby dandruff).  It’s been mild and we’ve basically ignored it for 6 months.  But the other day I decided to wage a war on baby dandruff – which consisted of dousing her with olive oil, brushing her scalp with a toothbrush, and then giving her a bath.  Turns out olive oil makes for fun hairstyles and toothbrushes are pretty fun to chew on.

Max remarkably understands that baby toys are off limits.  Kaya, however, does not respect that some toys are for Max only.  After this picture was taken, Max picked up his toy, carried it across the room, and stuck his tongue out at Kaya.  I heard her curse the crawling Gods under her breath.
