They're both seven months old, and try as we might, we couldn't keep them apart. Stan and Kathleen spent about an hour with Kaia today while her Mom ran an important errand. Kaia slept through half of it, but when she awoke, there was a new toy to mount and an excited puppy that insisted on seeing her up close.
Ford and Jenn have a barrier erected to keep Kaia out of the kitchen. We figured this would be a good way to confine Birdie and keep her from overwhelming Kaia with puppiness. Birdie was not happy about that, of course, and whined her disapproval. Hearing this from the other side of the room, Kaia perked up and crawled vigorously on a rescue mission to the pup in distress. They met up at the barrier, with Birdie making the most valiant of attempts to somehow squeeze her head and body under that bar.
Eventually we relented, scooped Birdie up and gave her a chance to touch the baby.
Kaia is a treat to sit with, a good little girl. Birdie is quite another story, but you've already heard that one.
