7 Months Old

This month Kian took her first out of state trip. We went to Albuquerque and Arizona to visit family. Kian did very well on her trip, much better than we expected. On each leg of the trip, Kian slept for the first two hours and then was up for the next two hours. Overall, she slept very well considering her schedule was way off from normal. Kian was very happy to see all of her friends and family again! While in Albuquerque, we stopped at Dunkin Donuts and the lady behind the counter gave us some munchkins for Kian, so we decided, what the heck, lets let her have one. See below for Kian enjoying her first donut hole.

Kian has graduated to sitting independently. She loves to sit and play with her toys and empty them out of the basket. She still has no interest in rolling over or crawling, but she is always pulling up so that she can stand. If we assist her by holding her hands, she will walk through the entire house chasing the cats around.

Kian has begun to favor her right hand. When you try to put something in her left hand, she will shift her entire body to grab it with her right hand instead.

Kian had a setback with baby food this month and twice threw up everything that we fed her. We took her to the doctor and through the process of elimination we have decided that Kian's stomach cannot handle the heaviness of the 2nd stage baby foods. So because Kian threw up vegetables both times, she will no longer eat vegetables (green beans used to be the favorite, but no more). She will only eat fruits and has become very picky as to which ones of those she will eat. She also does not care for baby foods with dairy and the ones with very thick textures.

Kian had to say goodbye to her big sister Skyla this month as Skyla is off to Japan for her 6 week adventure. All of us, especially, Kian look forward to her return.

As you can see above, there is a new main picture on the site. We just got Kian's 6 month pictures back and we have posted some additional ones below along with some pictures from our trip to Albuquerque and Arizona. Enjoy...
