Kayla Fuller

Oahu - Day 1

Given the constraints of the older siblings, Kayla’s vacation schedule revolved around Spring Break. We were not so keen on taking a baby out of the country so we went as far south as we can within the United States — Hawaii! Waikiki Beach to be exact. What a great place for a baby to get her beach introduction. It was a long flight over but Kayla survived and didn’t make a peep. Ready for some sun?

But due to her baby white skin, her sun exposure is limited by Mom. So we usually have some kind of fort setup around her to keep her out of the sun and away from the sand as much as possible.

Why no sand? Its a beach! Well, that means one thing — eat sand! We do our best but she often gets a handful and babies love to taste everything they get their hands on. Oh well, more fiber in her diet…or something.

A favorite activity is standing in the surf and watching the waves come in and out. Its kind of freaky for a baby. Almost a sense of panic. But after a while she starts to enjoy the rhythm of it and waits for it.

But after getting out of the ocean, she gets to dry off and hang close to Mom or Dad.

Have a look!

Many more days ahead!

Feed Me

She now eats Cheerios. Well, sort of. She throws a lot of Cheerios on the floor and then we walk on them and smash them into dust. But she gets a few down and generally makes us nervous that she is going to choke to death.

Famous In Fort Wayne

Kayla was in the paper in her parent’s hometown.

Sitting Up!

We had a beautiful spring day today so us girls decided to have a picnic lunch in the front yard. My sisters took the opportunity to show off their bike riding skills to me. Not to be outdone, I decided to show off myself and just sit there, all by myself. I think the slope in the yard may have helped my balance. But, it counts. I can sit up!

Diaper Time

It was warm out today so Mom let me spend some quality time naked. Well, almost naked. You don’t wanna see what I could do without this diaper thing on. Especially now that I am eating baby food. I mean half the time my duties leap the ole diaper and right up my back anyway. I know — TMI!

Anyway, nothing can make me happier then a little quality naked time.

Its not a bear skinned rug but it’ll do. Minnie Mouse is much more my style anyway.

Six Months Old

Kayla turned six months old, about a month ago, so we had her picture taken again for our hall of babies. As you can tell we have been on a bit of a hiatus on posts lately. The third child always gets jilted. But actually it was because my ability to post pictures online was broken for a bit. So after a little nagging the hubby got things fixed. So here is a teaser of what Kayla is up to nowadays. I hope to go back through the last month and post some older entries as well. Just so we can look back in a few years and not wonder what she was up to.

Our usual photo studio went bankrupt so we had to find a new studio quickly. Luckily for us we found a great (and cheap) new studio. Everything is all digital and you get a digital copy of every picture taken. Out takes and all. All together they took 62 shots. Here are some of the best. We’ll be mailing out copies to family soon. So if you see a favorite pose let us know. Don’t forget to give us the size wanted. They gave us LOTS of pictures so don’t be afraid to ask for several. Enjoy!

Sitting Up

I’ve been getting much better at this sitting up thing. Mommy still puts me in this boppy if she is not right next to me. Something about how she still blames Reagan’s goofiness on her numerous head hits to this hard granite floor. Anyway, I can keep myself upright until I see a toy I really want and then I’m down. So better safe then sorry for now.

Mom also thinks I may be starting to teeth. I now have two small nubs in my lower jaw that require me to constantly be chewing on something. This thing here is my favorite chew toy so far.

Although it sometimes takes a few tries to locate the mouth. Hey, I am only 6 1/2 months old.
