Winter Break 2009

Keira hasn't felt well lately, so I let her experiment with her birthday cake a few days late. She was intrigued by the icing, but didn't really want much.
She didn't like it when her hands started to get messy so we put it up.


We got 2 and a half inches on snow on 12-29 so we went outside to see what it was all about.

Keira's wondering what's going on??

Reaching down to touch the cold snow.

Wondering...

Taking it all in!

Smiling for her picture. (Take note of her precious blankie. She carries this with her just about everywhere. We even have 2. One for home and one for Grandma's.

Taking a break from playing.

Hello Daddy! Keira took Mommy's phone and was having loads of fun!!

Dialing, dialing, dialing!

Good Times

This morning we woke up to snow again in the desert of Las Cruces. Daddy opened the blinds and Keira said, "OH!" It was so cute! She was very curious to see what the white blanket of snow was all about. Later that evening, Keira was sitting in her highchair having some dinner. Daddy started singing one of the songs to her favorite BABY SIGNING TIMES DVD Vol. 1. As he sang "put your finger tips together for more, more, more" Keira for the first time began signing more, more, more as he sang along. We weren't quite sure what she wanted more of, but she was really getting into it. Some other things Keira has been saying lately are Baby, Mom, and Dad. She has also began to show a lot of interest in Dora the Explorer when she's at her Grandma's house. Oh! I want the camera!
Fun playing!

This was too cute! The oher day Daddy surprised Keira by coming home with the company's mascot. At first Keira thought "What in the world?" But then she realized it was just Daddy and got excited.

Dancing with the Sun Man!

Keira figuring out Sun Man was really Daddy.
