I'm going to have my hands full

Me: Okay Kira...let's go. We're already late.
Kira: No.
Mom: Kira, hurry let's find your shoes.
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(imagine child running around in circles and falling down.)
Me: We're leaving in 2 minutes.
Kira: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(imagine child running to toy box, throwing things everywhere until she finds her purse)
(child puts purse on her arm and sweetly looks at mom)
Kira: Shoes? (as if to say, Come on mom...what are we waiting for? Find my shoes and let's roll.)
Awesome. Can't wait til she's 15.

Editor's Note:

Call me lazy. Call me tired. Call me overwhelmed....I just don't know what the deal is. I'm so behind on blogging...how did I let this happen??? Shameful. Simply Shameful.
We are alive. We really are. And, if you didn't know that already, you're a blog stalker because otherwise you'd know it because I talk to you. If that's the case...you've been bored lately or you've moved on to someone better at keeping up to date with their blogging. Sorry.
No really...I've had troubles with one of my favorite items in the whole world--my laptop that my brother gave me. And, you'd think because I have a desktop computer upstairs it really wouldn't slow me down. Not. See, Kira gets into everything upstairs if I'm not right with her...so we play mostly downstairs. Then, when it's time for her to go to bed, well...it's time for me to go to bed. Or, it's time for me to just sit and be tired. ha.
My goal this week-- nothing crazy....maybe just post a few pictures. I mean, how hard is that?
New things that happened this month:
1. We sadly removed Kira from her daycare, but found another daycare that she really loves.
2. Kira had her 18 month check-up, and she's of course still growing steadily towards the top of the charts.
3. Kira started swimming lessons...mostly to learn how to be more comfortable in the water, and partly to see her little buddy Zachary every week. :)
4. Easter came and went...so fast.
5. I became a blonde. Yeah, that's right. If you have a facebook account, you can see that I am one hot blonde. lol. kidding.
6. Kenny made it to states in the Round Robin...however you say it, at the gun club.
7. I stay up way too late, and get up way too early.
8. Kira says so many words I can't even count them all. (and I can count really high too.)

Okay...well, that's just a sampling of my OH SO EXCITING life...I really need to update because I'm getting bored with myself. Life seems that much more exciting when a picture goes with it and I can blog about it.

Kira can take her shirt off....

And she thinks it's pretty funny....

But she never gets it back on...she just makes a sort of turbin with it.

If you see this face....

Then Kira has probably done one of the following:

Taken something out of the garbage
Rolled all of the toilet paper off the toilet paper roll
Just hit you in the face
Gotten into a cupboard or drawer with no childproof lock
Hit the dog
Thrown a fit
Kicked you while you're trying to change a diaper
Gotten into the dog's food or water
Thrown something at you or towards you that she shouldn't have
Dumped over the laundry basket full of clean clothes
Taken the remote and not giving it back
Taken the camera or something breakable


.....Pretty much any time she's done something naughty...she gets this look of almost fake surprise but like she's holding in laughter...and then she chuckles a little.

Is she already acting like she's 2?

It's a Saturday Night....

Yeah...6 or 7 years ago we may have been at a movie...or out to a late night social establishment...or really anywhere....

But, these days...what is quite common? We hang out with Kira....watch a movie...and then blog.

Don't be jealous.

Snack Time

Milk tastes better when it's drunk out of a bottle that sits in a bowl
Snack time is so much fun

Peek-a-boo

I love when mom let's me chill on the couch with my bowl of POPS!

Really?

Apparently, after playing with all her different toys, Kira decides at times that something like a straw is waaaaay more entertaining. :)
