11 Months and Counting

Wow!  Hard to believe that our little Kiyah is eleven months old already....  Truly seems like yesterday I was holding you for the first time.  Kiyah your are such a joy in our lives.  The past eleven months have been filled with so many emotions, but the one that trumps them all is love!

Things your doing:
Saying:  Momma, DaDa, ball, bubba, and you like to make animal sounds... mostly lions
Foods you like:  LOVE watermelon :)  I can pull this stuff from the fridge and watch as the excitement floods over you
Starting to take longer naps... which is nice, considering you've never been one for naps.
Moved you into your big girl car-seat (which you did not care for in the beginning, but the idea is growing on you)
And of course growing!  Starting to grow out of your 9-12 month clothes...  Oh well, time to shop!

Valentines Day... One for the BOOKS!

Well very sad to say that this year's Valentine's Day celebrations were put on hold...  Mommy and Daddy were both so very sick...  Although I had great intentions and plans to have a fun day full of love, we had to lay those plans down so we could recover...  Maybe we'll have a re-do... We'll see.

Even though we were both very sick, daddy was still able to give me some of the sweetest gifts...

Our First Family Pet"s"

Yes, that's right... We are pet owners once again...  Even though I was a bit nervous with the next step in adding to our family, I laid down my fears and we took the plunge (ha) !  We have fish!!!  Not just one, and oh no we did not stop at two... We have FIVE!  Plus two Ghost Shrimp!  I'm not sure how we went from getting a very small tank with ONE fish to coming home a few weeks later with five, but I'm coming to terms that these little creatures are now part of our daily life... Jonah was thrilled to get them.  He had been earning tickets for months to get his "fish".  We'll see how they do!
