Our little girls

Here's a little update on our growing girls!

Kali
68.8 pounds
Needs a little improvement on brushing her teeth. She'll get an E for Excellent, next year!
Dr. Howard says "she looks great!"

Kiera Catherine
22 lbs 13.5 ounces - 50-75%
32 1/4 inches - 95%
18 1/4 inches - 75%

2 immunizations - she was a trooper (her shoes were a great distraction :-))
This was the first visit we could sense she wasn't too excited about. She doesn't need to go in until she is 2, that seems so far away, but yet right around the corner.

We are one day shy of 15 months, but I thought I would post some of her new developments...

Kiera mimics EVERYTHING...sounds, actions, facial expressions, etc. It's so wonderful to watch her. One recent bath involved her moving around shampoo, conditioner and shower gel bottles for a good 15 minutes, quite fascinating to watch her figure things out. She makes us laugh out loud many times a day as well as make us wonder what we can do to support her in her tantrums! Daily she suprises us in what she knows and understands...we love her so much!

*sign language words:
more, please and thank you

*loves to give good night kisses

*dances to music

*can Moo like a cow

*8 teeth

*Words: (not all of these words are very clear, but words none the less)
juice, shoe, dad, mom, duck, hi, dog, up, Josh (I must say his name alot!)

*winks (with both of her eyes)

*shows you how STRONG she is

*enjoys reading

*climbs on the couch and dining room chairs.

*she shows no fear of heights when a person is near by. She will simply run off two steps or the couch or the bed...she is very trusting and gives us mini heart attacks!

*she cleans - she will see a wash cloth pick it up and start wiping everything. We saw this in action when she had a little accident at Aunt Sarah and Uncle Scott's apartment...it's too cute!

*loves being outside and getting Kali and Shiloh ready to go on a walk

*she is still (thankfully) a wonderful eater. She loves grapes, strawberries, raisins, beans (any kind), cereal bars, pickles, really anything you put in front of her!

Stay tuned for pictures...a lot has happened in the last month!
