Keira and I have been having so much fun together! I just love her death! She is soooo much fun! It's amazing watching her learn. Today while I was changing her diaper we were practicing saying words. I would say something and she would repeat after me. After I said "cat" she said "meow" in her cute, high pitched, sweet voice. Yesterday she also pointed at her ear when Chris said something about ear.
She loves her baby, loves hugging her baby, and loves it when Mommy hugs her baby. She can sometimes put two words together saying "Hi baby". She loves being outside and when I'm in the kitchen if I let her she crawls through Jason's dog door to be on the mini patio. However, recently she learned how to go down steps as well so she can go anywhere. Watch out, baby on the go!
Me at about the same age as Keira.
I'm not sure what age you're supposed introduce spoon feeding themselves, so we gave it a try. She needs some help, especially getting food on the spoon, but she did better than I imagined, and of course she loves it. :o)
Kicking back in the hammock.
Keira and I were supposed to be working on the house. We probably only have about a week or so before our next appraisal to refinance. Chris has been so busy with full time work and school, watching Keira when I work, and studying that it's up to me to finish some household projects. I've learned to and changed all of the vents and some of the electrical outlets, which includes changing from aluminum to copper wire. And now more urgently I have to... finish the trim and floor molding in the TV room, patch all nail holes in both rooms downstairs, sand, and repaint molding, and install the closet doors. Our neighbor who has built his own houses kindly accepted my invitation to help me sand, stain, and finish placing our stair railing, replace the steps, and change our front door side windows. Thank goodness! Oh yeah, and I'll be working 24 hours this week and attending to all my other household duties. I think I'm slightly overwhelmed.
BUT instead of spending every spare minute doing this Keira and I decided to go to the zoo with Mariana and Gabriel. It was sooo much fun now that Keira can point at things and gets a kick out of seeing animals. She even chose to ride on my favorite animal on the carousel. :o)
Today we chose to keep the Sabbath Day holy, hence the blog. We enjoyed the fireplace we purchased over two and a half years ago that started this whole project. Keira was so soft, cuddly, and cozy in her fleece I could've just snuggled her all day long. Too bad she's not as into snuggling as me. ;-)
Now back to business! It's going to be a busy week!

I can't believe how much she has changed just from the time we saw you guys! She is so darling...and good luck with all your craziness!
I'm so glad you took a break from the business to make some new memories with Kiera and how appropriate shackled the dolphin. I can not believe all you are doing to your house. Reminds me of being in shop! I know
I can unclog our sink pipes because of shop!;) Why do you have to do it? Are you trying to get a higher appraisal? I loved your other posts but couldn't post a
Comment when I read them, about being a mom. We do have such a high calling and it is humbling when they start imitating us. I always know I have to make sure I'm so seeking after Jesus so that is what my girls imitate! Of course they seem to often choose the bad and not good to imitate in everyone and everything!:(
I really think you and Kiera have the same face, you just have more hair!:)
Oh and Eleri started spoon feeding herself cereal and oatmeal about that age. I wasn't ready to let Mali make that mess yet but eleri loves it too!
Her little legs seem like they are longer! She is growing waaaayyy too fast. I am so glad that she has YOU as her mommy. You are a wonderful mother for my grandbaby!
