First Babbling!!!

Near the end of March, Kayli surprised me and started babbling!! I was sitting at the computer and she just started babbling. Very exciting for a mom who is a speech-language pathologist! It is so fun to see your child grow and develop and I'm glad I can document every step of the way!

Babbling is when infants around 4-5 months produce consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant combinations consecutively in a string, ie:ba ba ba ba ba. Babbling allows infants to experiment with sound production. In the video you can see Kayli imitating single sounds as well. :)

Lucky Number Seven!

A lot of fun things have happened this past month:

Kayli found her feet and can't stop playing with them! She grabs them and tries to put her toes in her mouth!

Kayli started "shaking" her head back and forth when she is excited.

And she also started making the "fishy" face (when you suck your checks into your mouth). Sooooooooooo cute!!!!

She is still sleeping well in her crib and she is eating various fruits, veggies, and cereal about once a day.

This past month we also took our first trip to the public library, which is only two blocks away! (Sorry pics are so small, they were taken on my phone)


We checked out Go, Dog, Go, Hop on Pop, In the Small Small Pond, Hurry, Hurry, and Strega Nona and the Magic Ring. That last one was more for me because I love Tomie dePaola :)

We look forward to many happy times reading good books! Anybody have a favorite children's book to recommend?
