kiera played on this boat forever at the museum....she is such a fun kid, me, tom and halle just get a kick out of the things she comes up with...she loves to walk around pushing her belly out, she has a great giggle, she puts pretzels between her toes and laughs her head off while she eats them out of feet, if you ask for a dog kiss, she licks you all over your face (i'm the only one who thinks its cute, everyone else is grossed out), she loves to dance, she steals your gum, has to eat off our plates, repeats everything halle says and does, likes to crawl around the house meowing, loves to use the potty, if she doesn't see you for a few minutes she'll run into your arms and say, "i missed you, i missed you", tonight i said , "kiera , no hitting" and she ran and sat down by the door, (time out spot) all by herself, she'll almost immediatly say, "i'm sorry" when she hits halle and will listen to halle if halle says, "no hitting, kiki, go sit in time out", she asked me to go down the water slide by herself, which has a few twists ('i do it, self, by, by mommie")...unfortuantely it flipped her so she went head first and she asked to sit on my lap the next time...but she is really brave, so i'm sure she'll get the courage up again

tonight she grabbed her arm while eating and said to me, "halle hit me" , me, "no, she didn't kiera" (halle would never hit kiera), "halle hit me, wuk, boo-boo" and she points to bbq sauce on her arm....i wiped it off and said, "nice try, kiki"

favorite phrases:
i don't like it
i like it
i love you
i missed you
i want it
wuk, wuk (look, look, she is constantly wanting us to look at her or what she is doing)
first thing in the morning , and every time she is hungry,
"I want lunch, LUNCH!!"
"I Want meh-ma-mine (medicine), candy meh-ma-mine" (she thinks medicine and candy are the same thing)
i want go swimming, where baby suit?
i want chips, purple chips...(which means the chips from the purple bag, the chili flavored doritos, which are so spicy her face turns red while she eats them and her eyes water, but she loves them)

kiera loves to watch halle play starfall.com....now when kiera sees letters anywhere she assumes she knows what they are ...so if we see letters somewhere, like in a book or on the side of a box, kiera points to the different letters and says the names of random letters...the most popular letter, is of course H, because halle points out H's everywhere, one time, she acually found an H and said H...i knew it was a coincidence, but a mom at a playgroup over heard and said, wow, she knows her letters already...yup, she's a smart one, haha...
we love our little kiki bear!
