Here we are approaching the end of August 2009. Kiriana will be turning ONE in a couple weeks. Time flies! I can definitely say it has gotten easier. As I write, Kiri is finally getting her two top teeth in. We suspect she might have a gap between the two front teeth...we'll see. She has also added some new words to her list. She says "juice" and "duck" now. Her walking is getting better too. She took 3 steps today. She loves to wave "bye" to people. Her hair is getting curlier and curlier by the day. Lyon goes looking for her when he wakes up from his nap. He looks at me and says "where baby?" In the morning he can't wait for her to wake up. He goes into her room and sees her on the bed. As soon as she stirs from his noise, he says "BABY! YAY BABY!" She gives him this look that says "I'm tired!!"
And Mr. Lyon....so many words...This morning I made him a piece of toast and he looked at me and said "ooooh mommy! Thank you mommy!" Tonight when I got home from a quick trip to the store for ice cream, I came in the door and I heard him in the kitchen say "YAAAAY MOMMY!!!" and start clapping.
I think the best story is the other day he was playing in his room while I was cooking in the kitchen. He walks into the kitchen with this confused look, throws his hands up in the air and says to me "Where daddy's balls?"
I wasn't sure if he was referring to his volleyballs or his bacci balls.
