A week in the life of being Kira's mom

It's been a fun week with Kira. She is talking a ton!!! And Jacob and I couldn't be enjoying it more. Some new words this month... Apple,Bubbles,Waffle,Keys(which sounds like cheese) Melmo(for elmo) and Amen (although she pronounces it All-mine but I think there maybe something to that actually... I'll go into it later)
She is a total girl... it really is a testiment to me of what the first presidency says about Gender (see link). She loves wearing her pretty church shoes and can put them on herself.

She loves trying to put on whatever piece of clothing she can get her hands on... although she doesn't always put them on the body parts they belong to. She can often be seen wearing my high heels and loves to pick out her clothes for the day. Since it's coming up on Swimming season, I pulled out the bathing suits I bought for Kira last October... (2 for 5 bucks... can't beat that!)
Anyway, she was so excited about them she had to put them both on... that minute!!!



Her Uncle Henry (aka the godfather) bought her a glow worm that she now will not go to bed without.
I'm lucky that she will still take naps most days. It makes the day easier for the both of us. She loves the Elmo's world dvds (which we only have two of so I'm done with watching them already) and likes to tease her daddy while he reads the paper.
Jacob and Kira have been in the pool twice already this week and she's getting used to being in the water again. Jacob said that she didn't mind the life jacket she got last summer so thats good.
Below are some pictures of kira from this week... as most kids her age she likes to draw. She somehow smuggled a pen into nap time, and Jacob brought her out to me looking like this....



It took a wipe down with the wipes, and two baths to get it all off.
I feel so blessed to have her as part of my life! I'm a very lucky person.
