One Month Old

I can't believe Kaia is a month old already. It really has flown by and I'm excited to say that she is still alive! I wondered, a lot, while I was pregnant how I was going to keep her safe from her curious, determined, and sometimes "not so soft" siblings.... but I did it. Her little personality is starting to show. She is one of my more serious babies but we are already seeing some little smiles. She loves to be held but not kissed so much. She puts up with the kisses but I can tell they are not her favorite things. She loves to be talked to though. I can even get her to stop crying (most of the time) if I call her by name and talk to her in a soft voice.

Today, Jaed was trying to watch his favorite show on T.V. and Thayne was on the couch feeding Kaia. She absolutely hates to be burped when she is still hungry so when it was time to burp her, Kaia started to cry. I heard Jaed say, "Hurry up and give her the pacifier, I can't hear!". When she didn't stop crying right away he followed it up with, "Dad, she doesn't have any burps, feed her so I can hear!". I was laughing upstairs while Thayne was saying, "Jaed, you are not in charge." That one statement is repeated at least 50 times a day to Jaed. Thayne told me later that Jaed was extremely bugged that he couldn't hear he show. He is quite the "bossy-boots" as we call him in our family (well, Thayne called me that first but has given the name to Jaed now. I was more than willing to pass it down to him!).

Here are some pictures of Kaia at one month old and a snap shot of all our kids in a row. I can't believe we have four kids. I'm to young to have that many :).
