Fort Pierce

So I built Keira a fort today for something new and fun to do. She thought it was a little scary at first but I gave her a flashlight and she had a blast. I love the little toes sticking out. ;) I asked Keira to smile for the third picture and she just told me "no" and starred at me. Don't we love toddlers and their budding independence? Life is just too much fun.

The Bump

Here is a picture of my beginning baby bump at 17 1/2 weeks for those of you who care. I don't have much to say about it other than I need to get some more maternity clothes because the ones I have are way to stretched out. But at least they will be good for later on. Keep those guesses for whether it is a boy or girl coming. I am counting down the days. I just don't do well with not knowing things.

Babies, Babies, Babies...

Ok so I have had babies on the brain a lot lately (I know, shocking) and I have no new pictures of Keira so I thought I would reminisce a bit. These are a bunch of pictures of Keira from a couple days old to about 5 months old. So cute.
Anyway, a lot of cousins have been wondering when I would find out what I am having and when I will be tested for gestational diabetes again. Isn't it nice that we have so many cousins and family that worry about us, especially when it means we may have to give up chocolate for a couple months? Well the answer to that is March 18, when I will be doing both of those things. What a busy day it will be. So everyone keep your fingers crossed that I don't get G.D. again and lets hope everything is happy and healthy with the baby. Also, if you want to leave a comment with your guess if it is a boy or a girl that would be fun too. I think boy, Rick thinks girl so we aren't much help there. ;)

Future Flohawks of America

So I was telling some cousins the other day that I have been trying to get a picture with Keira wearing her Flohawks beanie that her grandpa gave her a while ago. She loves to put it on and walk around the house in it. If you tell her to go find her hat she runs around until she finds it and puts it on. Funny stuff. The other picture also shows a new favorite pass time which is to use my keys to run her bike. Smart girl.
Keira has also finally started to speak some English. She has been understanding everything we said but was reluctant to say anything that remotely sounded like any languages I know. She now says Jada (the dogs name), Uh-oh, Daddy (she can say mom but prefers to simplify things and call both of us Daddy), Hi, and yesterday she started saying no and so then I also taught her yes. She is a smarty pants so I know that now she has finally started saying things her vocab is probably going to explode in the next couple of months. Fun stuff.
