Aaand we're cruisin'!

She's been doing this for about a week now. She's also pushing her table toy thing (ya know, the one with all the sweet musical toys attached to the top) around the house. She can walk perfectly along furniture, and has started taking an independent step or two to get from one thing to the next. It's exciting and scary all at once!

A Saturday Video

Here is a funny/sad video for your Saturday viewing pleasure. This is Kaetana's reaction to this silly duck thing that my Great Aunt got her forever ago. It sings "If You're Happy and You Know It" and used to make her laugh....guess not so much anymore! I actually had to hide the stupid thing in the closet after this because she was completely terrified and refused to go in her room until I did. Hahaa silly baby! (Oh, and John says I'm kind of terrible for filming her when she was so scared, but I thought it was funny!)

Turkey Dinner

Day before yesterday, Kaetana got her first taste of meat in the form of Sprout's Organic Holiday Vegetable Dinner with Roasted Turkey. I have been hesitant to buy any kind of meat dish for her because I'm not a huge fan of pre-cooked, pre-packed meat in general, so why would I give it to my baby? I've been making sure she got her protein elsewhere up until now. Anyways - she freaking LOVED this baby food. Love, love, looooved. I will probably keep buying the meals like this since we still get baby food from WIC and that pretty much covers the basic fruits and veggies. I'm really glad I found this product, and I like that Tyler Florence is the one who started it, and makes the recipes. He's one of my favorite food network people!
Here's a video of her enjoying her meal. Can you tell she liked it? :)

I'll be back tomorrow with her 8 month(!) update.

Learning Sounds

Kaetana has been learning so much so fast lately! The other day we were hanging out and I thought I'd try and teach her a new sound, 'bah'. She hasn't really gotten in to the babbling stage yet and I wanted to scoot her along in to that because I really want to hear her say Mama and Dada! haha so anyways, we were working on it and she wasn't really understanding (she kept starting the 'b' sound and transitioning in to blowing raspberries instead.) We did it off and on for about 3 hours until she finally got it! She was so proud of herself I had to take a video. Unfortunately it's sideways because I always forget that about my phone, so I apologize for that. I really need to get a video camera. Here she is being really proud of herself!

She's obsessed with making this noise now, and it cracks me up!
I love her so much. :)
