I am two years old!

March 25, 2007


At my birthday party there were lots of balloons – grandma *knows* what a girl likes 🙂

The birthday girl got tired. Some strong arms were there to hold me 🙂

Action shot!

We went with some of our neighbor friends and waded in the creek 🙂 Mommy just *wouldn’t* KEEP UP!

March 25, 2007

Am I loved, or what?
Gammy just fixed my hair 🙂

Now that I can stand when daddy holds me, things look just so much more *interesting*!


I am almost outgrowing the kitchen sink 🙂

March 22, 2007

Can you see just how INNOCENT I am standing in the driver’s seat of mommy’s car?

A girl this cute and smiling so sweetly just CANNOT be guilty of *anything*.

Mommy took me to the Pennsylvania Bakery (a fab place!). I started out in front of my pastry, in my own chair…

… and when mommy came back from getting her coffee, I was in *her* chair, eating *her* carrot cake. Mommy has no idea what the frosting tasted like, because I finished every single molecule of it, he he.

But mommy I do not WANT to sit in my seat, I want to be IN the show!


Here I am doing my funny face for mommy – I like to make her laugh. She laughs a lot (because I am funny a lot), but especially when I do “crazy head” bobbing, say the phrase “pizza guys” (private joke with mommy!), or make funny faces like this. 🙂

Today was story time and a ballet show at the one library…


… and yesterday I ran around at the other library. I LOVE libraries!

March 22, 2007


Mommy recommended that I choose from amongst the board books here…


… but I REALLY wanted “Life as a Colonist”.

March 21, 2007


yum!

I do my part when we go grocery shopping 🙂

With my dear Papi…


Look how proud I am that I can stand in the crib, too! My sister LOVES to play in my crib with me… whenever she hears me waking up on the monitor, she starts up the stairs and yells “I’m coming Keira” and then comes in the room and says hi to me through the crib slats. Then mommy had better be quick about getting her into the crib with me, or *both* of us will start to complain loudly about mommy not cooperating in this sweet reunion 🙂

This is the “before” photo. You do NOT want to see the “after” picture 🙂

Gammy read a book to us… it is about furry kitties, my favorite!

March 21, 2007


My favorite part of bowling was tap-dancing in the funny shoes!


Playing ball with my sissie…

It is too cold for a little gal like me to pick apples outdoors, so mommy and I did it inside.


And daddy took me “skiing” 🙂

March 7, 2007


I tried to help my sissie, but she really did not need much help! Her legs are strong and she was holding on tight. I still like being the nurturing/protecting big sister, though, so I help her anyway 🙂

Mommy and I both have never had a Fastnacht before, so daddy brought some home for us. I polished mine off before mommy had even had a chance to take hers out of the *bag*, he he…

It was soooooo nice having my Auntie come for a visit. We went to Curiosity Connection and she carried me like this the *whole* time, I loved it!


My birth mommy Val’s cell phone is my new favorite toy. I get teased that I will be glued to the phone too a few years 🙂

March 7, 2007


Okay sissie, *I* am in charge now! 🙂

We are watching a HORROR movie! (okay, not really, but it sure does look like it, doesn’t it?)

March 7, 2007


Grandma took this photo of us “tumbling”. I learned that I loved to do this by watching my sissie do it. So then I start to sway forward and backward and arch my back – that was my sign to mommy that she needs to do tumbling with ME too! I ask for it often now 🙂


In my gammy Brenda’s lap 🙂

We are waiting for our daddy to come home 🙂

My baby sister Bella in Louisiana needs prayers again! She is in the Pediatric ICU once more – it is unclear what the illness is, but she is losing weight (under 10 pounds at 5 mos old) and her hair is falling out and she is sleeping *all* the time. Loads of tests will be done again. My birth mommy Jenelle was so grateful for the prayers last time, and we will keep praying for sweet baby Isabella. Get well quickly little sissie, we love you!!! You have a great mama taking good care of you!

March 7, 2007


We sent my sister Bella in Louisiana a package yesterday. I had to play inside the box with my teddy first, though.


And then I had to sit on it to test the strength of mommy’s packaging 🙂

March 7, 2007

My first Girl Scout cookies (Thin Mints). We have no idea what happened to daddy’s box of Peanut Butter cookies?!?!

March 7, 2007


After daddy and I shovelled our own walk & driveways, we went over to grandma’s to do it again…

March 7, 2007


Buttercup and I love to hang out together. I am surprisingly gentle with the kitties, so they like me!


I am laughing because daddy and Ava are right outside the window throwing snowballs at me!
