Making Progress

Kiera has been making progress again this week which is always a good thing. She's been pulling herself up on everything that she can. We've found her standing up at the coffee table and against the outside of the bathtub. She even stood up in the bathtub, so I have to watch her extra carefully now! She has also been attempting to climb up the stairs! She climbed all the way up them a couple of days ago, with me right behind her all the way! Crazy! She's also learned a few more words:
"peelow" - pillow, "peeno" - piano, "tows" - toast, Nana, "bobble" - bottle, play (in reference to the piano) "caw caw" - whenever she sees a picture of a bird or hears a bird because that's the sound the crows make outside.

Yesterday, I asked her if she could say dog and she said, "Woof woof!" Then this morning, I asked her if she could say lion and she said, "Roar!" So cute! I also said "Hi-yi-yi," the other day and then she repeated me! It's amazing what they all catch on to!

So, I have not stepped outside the house since Monday. Isn't that pathetic? Our plans keep getting cancelled due to the weather and bad road conditions. Last night we were supposed to go out, but then our plans got cancelled. So, we had Jared's step-brother + his wife over along with our friend, Nyk, and we all played Bohnanza. Then, my bro-in-law and sis-in-law left and another couple came over and we played another round of Bohnanza! It was fun!

Here's a picture of Kiera I took 2 months ago.


















"Mom, why are you taking a picture of me 30 seconds after I've woken up?"
"Because Kiera, that is some great hair you've got goin' on!"
