Look at those faces!

It is so fun to see what Kiera will come up with next. She has quite a personality...she makes us laugh often. Take a look at some of her common faces and emotions!
Tantrum...after she carefully placed herself on the floor :-)

She looks like a big girl!

There's that tongue.

Eating like a big girl.

I LOVE PB toast.

and my new water table!

Bonding on Father's Day. Look at their faces...the same!



So.Excited!

In this first month of her 2nd year..

Kiera is growing so much and not in size anymore, it's all about her personality! She is so.much.fun! Here is a little glimpse into her likes/dislikes and routine these days.

She loves crushed ice. Now when the ice maker goes we have a dog and a little girl close at our feet.

She still has 4 teeth. (You wouldn't notice by what she eats...eveything!)

LOVES strawberries

She is daring. We are trying to teach her to go down the stairs. She will stand at the top of our two stairs and run full speed ahead and laugh she thinks it's a game. Cute, but not safe :-)

She loves brushing her teeth!

She is all about reading. She will bring you a book and sit in your lap. Cute and it's so fun to see how interested she is. Her favorites right now: Safari Peek-a-boo, the Busy Bible Storybook and Goodnight Moon.

She loves playing outside.

She "asks" to take Kali on walks. She will bring us Kali's leash and will often rest the clasp on Kali's neck. Then she will go get her shoes. They are a team, they look out for each other.

Kiera LOVES Kali and I think that Kali LIKES Kiera :-) She will spend several minutes climbing all over Kali, giving her hugs and rubbing her face in Kali's neck...love.

She no longer uses a bottle and has been nuk free for 2 days.

Words - "da" for Dad, Dog, Doll, Duck "mi" for milk

Kiera wears 18 month clothes and a 5 in shoes.

She takes 2 naps on the weekend and 1 during the week.

We start a bath around 6:30 p.m., then get her pajamas on, eat a snack, brush teeth, read 2-4 stories, say prayers, rock a little and she is generally sleeping by 7:30 p.m.

She is comprehending so much right now. She truly is a little sponge!
