After spending loads of time updating my blog and finally getting it the place that I wanted, I was ready to start posting about new and exciting content. Content that I have not posted about before. Posts about a plethora of coding topics that will blow your mind. Posts about the deep insights that I have from day to day. Since the blog was complete, I was going to crank them out like crazy!! However… I have not gotten around to those just yet… 
Until then, how about another round of awesome baby pictures? (Admittedly, she is much more interesting than anything I would have written anyway)
So, Kitara is now a little over 7 months old. During her first few months, I remember anticipating a time when I could have a more active role in her life beyond simple feeding and cleaning. I can still distinctly remember that divide between me and her 1 month old self where we had zero means of communication other than crying on her part and frustration on mine. Suddenly, things changed. It was as if we put her down to bed one night and received a newer, more interactive baby in the morning. Thinking back, I can remember two times in which this happened. The first time was at 3 months, when she finally developed a neck. The second just happened as she approached 7 months.
One thing that has changed for her is that she is – just like – a little person. At this point, she has personality, laughs and giggles, pouts and throws tantrums. In addition, she is already developing likes and dislikes that make her a little distinct from other children her age. In fact, there are times when I can look at her and see her puzzling though different scenarios or basic cause and effect when something happens. I have no doubts that I am probably giving more meaning to these changes than what is probably reality, but I am so very astounded by the process. It is magical to me.
Her range of expressions and emotions are pretty incredible!

Finally, I love the fact that we can now give her her own space to interact and play with things. Some things are still a bit of a worry, but she now has enough strength and vigor that we can back off a little bit and allow her to experience the world w/o Mom and Dad holding her non-stop. Of course, we are still within inches, but, even at that distance, she seems to achieve a different perspective of the world. She is beginning to work out how things work in small areas such as buttons on devices, what the statement NO! means, and how things are composed.
Here are a few shots of her at work on figuring out the world.

I find myself wondering at the wonder that is a developing mind. Babies are just amazing, aren’t they?
