Lizard

Don't ask why we decided on this cruel and unusual nickname for our daughter (ok- blame Aprille- she started it!)  It is hard to imagine that a year has past, but it has.  Kaiya is officially one.  Her hair thinks she's a newborn, but we're confident that in the coming months, there will be enough hair to some how wrap a bow around it thus eliminating the much loved comment...."Oh, how old is your son?"  It's our favorite!

Anyway, she has made it.  What do you need to know about Kaiya?  She goes with the flow, loves to be held, loves to explore, loves to be fed, as in, she can feed herself, but prefers others doing it like we are part of her entourage, she has more fun with random scraps of paper she finds on the floor than she does with actual toys, loves to take naps and then wake up, look at you, rub her face in her blanket, look up and repeat the process all over again.  She is into baths, not into diaper changes, thinks her brother and sister are amusing distractions, likes to say momma when she wants her bottle, not always a fan of the car seat, but that's cause she loves to be held.  She is neither an angry child or shy- just right in the middle which is where we love her.  She is so calm, reassuring and steady.  She's perfect.  Happy 1st Birthday Lizard!!!
