My baby turns two!!! I swear I was just writing on this blog a short while ago. And then when I look at the date I can't believe it. I should have done a better job. But life gets in the ways sometimes. :) Kiyah has started doing so many new things that is has become too numerous to count. We still have a couple of big milestones.....moving to a big girl bed and potty training. Hopefully, we will get both of those accomplished this summer. I think she will miss her crib. She loves it. Some for sure things I have learned about her; she loves any and all animeals, she loves to eat (pizza is her favorite), she loves Mickey Mouse, Little Bear and Dora, she does not like any assistance with eating/drinking and we are immediately told "right her" for where she wants us to put down whatever she wants so she can then do it herself, she says "ok" in the sweetest way 1,000 times a day.....I could go on and on. She is really tall for her age. She is wearing a size 2 in clothes, size 6 in diapers and size 7 in shoes. She has decided that she does not like her stroller and would rather have her mama carry her everywhere. All 30 pounds of her. She is very shy at first when we are around people and it takes a little while to get going. She loves to blow bubbles and play with any and all water. We got a membership to the zoo and her most favorite part about that was running the paths and screaming "Kiyah" and pointing to herself whenever we meet anyone. Her shyness vanished amongst the fresh air, families and zoo animals. She understands Latvian and says some things to Karlis when they talk. I think she will pick a lot up this summer when his mom comes to stay for a month. It will be good for her. She likes to dance, be tickled and exercise. Which is all very funny to watch her do. And recently she has picked up wrestling. She likes to tackle. We have no idea where she got this but she things it is the funniest thing. Really feminine, huh? She can count to 15 with a little assistance. She refuses to say the number 4. We need to start working on ABC's and colors more often. She thinks everything is yellow. I think she just likes the way it sounds rolling off her tongue. Such a silly girl.
Being a mom is wonderful. I wouldn't change a thing. Life can be so rewarding.
Karlis, Slim, Biscuit, Tiger and Lily are all happy and healthy as well. Tiger has been on the hunt lately with the warm weather. She set an all knew record last week. She brought through the cat door three dead animals of a different species. We have already removed 2 snakes from our house and it is only May. Kiyah was actually sitting on one of the snakes but that is an entirely different story. I still miss Zamboni with everything I have. I would give just about anything to have that little guy back. I dream often of getting another Frenchie and I tell you I would if Slim could work on his grouchiness.
Once again I am going to try and do better at blogging. I miss it. I want Kiyah to know what she did growing up and I want to be able to start documenting when we try IVF with our frozen 7. Stay tuned for that one. It could be sooner or it could be later. Hard to forecast life sometimes.
