Kira Update!

Kira's vocabulary is exploding. I can't believe how much she is talking and saying. Not all of it can be understood 100 % of the time but she is doing well.

Here are some funny things she has said recently:

After getting back from seeing the rodeo bulls with Daddy?

Mom Mom: What did you see today?

Kira: A Horse

Mom Mom: A Horse?! Was it big?

Kira: Yes, Mom mom, I want it.

Mom Mom: You want what?

Kira: A horse

Mom Mom: A Horse? Where are we going to keep it?

Kira: Points outside to the beautiful rock landscaping provided by the apartment maintenance.

We were singing the other night a song some people know but I didn't really until recently. We learned the words at Storytime at the Library. It's called Open - Shut Them. These are the words as taught to us by Miss Susan at the Library. (Them are your hands)

Open Shut Them

Open Shut Them

Give a little clap clap clap

Open Shut Them

Open Shut Them

Put them in your lap lap lap

And there are three other verses.

So we are on the couch, before bed singing songs and she says

Open Shut Them Open Shut Them... give a little clap clap clap.... Open Shut Them Open Shut Them put them on your feet! Then she cracked up, like it was the funniest joke she has EVER heard in her life! (It might be, she's still only two)

She has been loads of fun, loves airplanes, trucks, cars and motorcycles, she loves going to car shows with her Daddy and pointed out a tractor on the way home from church on Sunday. She also loves Elmo, dressing up in Mom Mom's shoes, and trying to put on Mom Mom's makeup.

Hanging out at the car show

She loves "cycles" and want to get on one whenever she sees one.

We will be spending Thanksgiving with our friends Shelly and Ryan so we will have a great time.

All our love and prayers this Holiday Season
