Finally, some NEW pictures! :)

9/18/09-Kairis *loved* the taste of the sweet, tangy orange pop in this bottle....


I have been meaning to post on here for awhile now, and life with a little girl has just kept me running....I am always one step behind it seems. Not complaining though, this new stage Kairis is in is a real delight. She's absolutely all little girl now, there's not much "baby" left here! Well, I guess if you count drinking milk from a bottle before naps and bedtime, falling asleep in your arms in the rocking chair, and that kinda-stuff, there is still some "baby" hanging around. Kairis can crawl up and down the stairs well now, is walking nearly everywhere, all the time, (she walks with her arms out in front of her--totally adorable to watch!) says "dada" all day long nearly and cries or shouts when he leaves the room, plays peek-a-boo with her blankets constantly, loves playing the piano and *really* loves taking clothes out of my laundry basket and trying to put them over her head, and blows bubbles with her mouth in the bathtub when I ask her to. She's still very contemplative, perceptive, observant and cautious, though she is starting to feel more at ease and comfortable with new people. She's even letting us leave her occasionally with a jr. high babysitter and their family for a couple hours at a time. It's a nice treat to be able to spend time with just Tim occasionally. Ok, I will post more later...but here are some updated pictures from the past month or so.
