So Tired!

I have been so tired lately! Keila is still not back to her normal self with her tooth coming in. I have taken in a dog that my friend was getting rid of. I knew that it was either me taking it, or a crazy lady taking her. So I opted for me. I don't think we will be able to keep her for very long, but I have a handful of very good people who would love to have her. Paislie is very jealous because the dog is tiny and can sit on my lap. It will be fun to have her around for a little while though. Keila loves her and tries to hug her...which freaks the dog out a little, but she still gives Keila kisses. Her name is Jersey, and she is so cute!

Another tooth and more

Keila's #15 tooth (bottom left eye tooth) broke through a couple days ago. I can tell it irritates her through the day, but she has been pretty well when it comes to sleeping. I am definitely thankful for that! I know this tooth will continue to give her some problems for at least a couple more weeks. The top two seemed to give her trouble for a lot longer than normal. I'm sure it's because they come in so slowly and get bigger the more they come down. I am glad though that there is only one more left until her 2 year-old molars come in. Hopefully she and I get a nice little break from teething for those.

She is also being really cute with new words. I can't really remember what I said in my last post, but right now she has added 'up' to her vocabulary. I still hear her say 'thank you' sometimes, and I think she tried to say 'yes' this morning. Today she said 'ya-yey' (daddy with y's instead of d's) or something like that a couple of times when I was talking to her about Jared. So, I am wondering if she is trying to say Daddy instead of just Dada. I don't know why she couldn't just say Daddy though, she makes the D sound all the time. Maybe we will find out soon what she is talking about. She also started saying 'Papa' this weekend. Sometimes it comes out as 'Bapa' or 'baba'. When we were going over to my dad's house this weekend, I told her we were going to go see Papa, and she repeated :) Then when she saw him she smiled and said it again. She even started saying his name today and was looking around for him. That was so cute!

When she reads her books she is starting to babble like she is reading them herself. I love it! With reading books she uses B sounds...which she normally doesn't use. So I wonder if she hears the words book/s and is trying to talk like that or something. All I know is that it is cute.

Ok, so everything she does is cute, what can I say??!!

Talking

Keila is trying to talk in her own language so much lately. It's really cute :) She is also not signing as much lately...I'm not really sure why. Maybe it is because she is working on trying to say words with her mouth more now? It sounded like she said 'Thank you' today right after I gave her a cup of milk. I didn't even prompt her to say it. But, it was probably just a fluke.

She loves Jared so much. Everytime she sits with him she lays on his chest or lays next to him on the couch. She loves sitting with him and cuddling. She gets a big huge smile on her face when I tell her "Daddy's coming home" (Paislie gets excited too, haha). The past couple mornings when I go in and get her out of her crib, she has backed away from me, sat down, and said Dada. It was very cute! Of course when I pick her up, she just wants me to hold her and play with her.

She is also trying to run within the past week or so....or at least is walking so fast she is almost falling over. There is a big spring in her step some of the times though, so it looks like almost running.

Growing up is so fun!

I'm Lazy or something...

SO I haven't even thought about my blog for the past week. Before that, I was thinking about it but not posting. I must just be lazy or something! Jared and I have been busy coaching basketball and Keila is busy playing! She is walking all over the place and trying to run...at least that's what it looks like! She moves so fast she trips and falls.

She has been saying 'cheese' lately, when she smiles for the camera and when she is eating cheese. She is also starting to make some funny faces and just being a ham.

I have had a cold for about the past week or so, and I sadly passed it on to Keila. On top of that, I can't find the aspirator to help get her boogers out. I hate hearing her cough and have a plugged up nose. It's so sad. I am just glad it's nothing more than a cold. No fever or anything.

Here's some pics from the last week or so.

Happy New Year!

It's 2010 and it seems a little weird to be saying that. So much has happened in the last decade! To think what the next decade will bring is strange and amazing. I hope and pray that this year will bring many blessings and adventures to our lives and everyone else's. Have a great year everyone!
