The move is on. With the grandparents coming and going, truck drives across the country, and airplane flights, it's going to be a busy couple of weeks! Whew! Hopefully life will settle down a bit once we get to Louisville.This afternoon, our neighbors, Glenn and Shirley, had us over for an ice cream social. They were very kind and gave us some heavy winter clothes for Kara (including a fur coat!) and a picture of us from Christmas (when Kara was just 5 weeks old).
In Kara news, Kara has made several break-throughs. She's getting really, really close to walking. She'll take a couple of steps by herself and is getting pretty good at walking around the house holding onto someone's hands. She's also getting close to talking. She babbles quite a bit, and we think she's said a couple of words and meant it: "Da-da" and "hey". She also did her first sign a couple days of ago. She signed "milk" to Mommy when it was time for her bottle. In addition, Kara waved for the first time. She waved to Mommy and Grandma when they were leaving to go shopping one day. Kara also figured out how to open the "child-proof" cabinet locks in the kitchen. Guess we'll have to get something a little more complicated for next time. Sorry to sound like I'm bragging, but I think Kara's pretty cool.
Sounds like she's growing up so fast! The whole point of baby proof cabinets is so they can figure out how to get in, until the parents come up with a different solution. One of our friends just stopped putting things in the bottom cabinets unless they were kid friendly.
