So, I guess we've been pretty busy this month, so I haven't gotten to post at all. Kya has changed so much in the past month. She has started smiling, and we've heard her laugh a few times. She also has started "talking", and I love when she's by herself and she just starts making noises as loudly as she can. I think she might be quite the talker. I do love that she can smile, though because she has peed all over her changing pad, and then, she gives me this big toothless grin, and you just can't be upset when she does that. She has started to get fussier - I think if she takes a short nap, she doesn't like to be in her crib by herself. She is pretty social and loves to talk and smile at other people. She's also flipped over from her stomach to her back a few times, but it's been awhile since she has done that. The most awesome thing she does now is SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! She started doing that at exactly 10 weeks! We really tried to get her on a schedule, and I think that is what did it. Thank you babywise! She eats so much, too! Eric and I are so blessed to have Kya, and we are so thankful and humbled that God trusted us to raise her. We won't be traveling around as much this month except to go to MS to visit Eric's family, and maybe go to a football game. It gets tricky going anywhere for a lengthy period of time since I am still breastfeeding. I always feel like I have to worry about how much time has gone by since I have pumped or fed her. I know it is so good for her, and she hasn't been sick, yet - even though Eric and I have both had colds, plus it is FREE, so I will continue to do it, but I won't miss the whole schedule thing or worrying about what time it is. Kya made another trip to Houston because I had a workshop at Rice University about negotiating a faculty position, which was helpful, but also intimidating. I was away from her for two days, and I did pretty well, but I missed her like crazy. My parents were so nice to watch her, and the picture where she is laughing is when she is sitting on my dad's lap, and he had asked her if she was going to poop on him again. She has kind of explosive bowel movements, and sometimes they are leaky. I have tried like three types of diapers, but she has leaked through all of them! I'm sure she'll really enjoy reading this when she's 13!
