Grammie and Grampie's House

Here I am with my supercousin Brooke and Grampie. We have our cute cherry outfits on!

The Many Faces of Keira

I'm a supermodel! Strike a pose, there's nothing to it!

Tummy Time

Mommy bought me a tummy time surfboard mat. It's really fun - until I'm tired of tummy time. Look at me! I'm starting to crawl! Unfortunately, though my legs are already strong enough, I have no arm or chest strength, so I'm stuck in the same spot for now, just flailing my legs.

Wakie Time!

Every morning when I wake, mommy and daddy play the smiling game with me. Here's how it goes: Mommy smiles at me, I smile at mommy. Daddy smiles at me, I smile at daddy. Then I look at myself in the mirror on my swing, and I smile at myself. Then I smile at mommy and daddy some more until I realize I'm hungry and want to eat. Mornings are awesome! I'm such a ham.

Keira Kangaroo

Today mommy tried out a few different carriers she has for me. This is one of the sling carriers - it's so comfy! I fell asleep as soon as she put me in. Don't I look like a baby kangaroo?

Boppy Time!

Mommy and I are singing "Alouette!"

Bye Bye South Dakota

Swingin' in the Sun

Here I am in my swing at our new home in Texas. Unfortunately, I can't remember much about this swing, considering that I fell asleep in it as soon as daddy strapped me in and started swinging me.

Jenn & Daniel

Daniel held me while mommy hosed daddy down at his fini flight. She got to use the hose from a big fire truck!! Man-oh-man did daddy get wet! Then, later, Jenn held me when we went out to Sanford's for our "Good Bye" dinner.

Portraits a la Mama

Mom was being silly...

4th of July

Here I am with mommy and daddy at a neighbor's 4th of July party. They had a jumping castle and a pool!! Unfortunately, I'm too small to enjoy either of those yet...but not for long!!!

Movin' on South

Here I am helping mommy and daddy pack for our move to Texas. I was very helpful! This picture is kinda like "Where's Waldo?"...can you find me? 07/03/06

Carseat CuddleBear

Here I am in my carseat ready to face the day. 06/19/06

Today we saw the Black Hills Bluegrass Festival

Here I am all snuggly in my carrier

They have a stage set in the middle of the woods!

Grampie and Grammie came to visit!!

Hooray for Grammie helping me travel back to South Dakota!

With a future this bright... Gotta wear my shades!

Grampie came to visit!!

I always take my post-feeding stretch...

My first Custer State Park excursion... yaay!

Daddy's Little Girl

Here I am in the flight suit daddy bought for me. I am a pilot in training, see? Someday, I want to be just like my daddy. Oh I can't wait to see daddy! He arrives tonight at 7pm.

I am ADORABLE!

This is the one! This is the perfect dress to welcome home daddy!

The Best Sunday Ever!

Daddy comes home from Las Vegas today! He graduated yesterday and now we're going to have some time to spend together. I can't wait to see my daddy! Now I have to decide which dress to wear to the airport to pick him up. Should I wear this one? Mommy says all of these dresses are special...once when she was a wee little girl the same age as me, she wore them herself! Thank you, Grandma K for the pretty dresses! Or should I wear this one? Or this one?

Grammie Time!

I was right! Grammie came to Abilene to meet me! And Grammie is so much fun! She sings me songs, tells me fantastic stories, and makes me so happy. Momma and Grammie say that Grampie is pretty great too - now I can't wait to meet him!

Gettin' Ready for Grammie

Grammie comes to Abilene today! Momma says she's coming for the ice cream...but I think mom's wrong...I think she wants to meet me. Just in case, I'm going to wear one of the ice cream cone outfits she gave me. Then I'll be irresistible!

Weekend's Over - Back To Work!

This weekend was all fun and games...but now that it's Monday, Grandpa and I needed to get some work done. Here we are designing a ski lodge together. I was a big help!

Sunday Best

Every day here is a fashion show! Since I put on my Saturday best yesterday, I figured I should show off my Sunday best today. Thank you for my beautiful dress, Florence!

New Bellybutton!!

Lookie look! My umbilical cord stub fell off this morning! I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BELLY BUTTON! Oh how pretty I am. Now I can go get it pierced. JUST KIDDING, DADDY!

My Saturday Best

Grandpa, Debbie, Mommy and I got dressed in our Saturday best today to take a stroll around the mall. Don't you just love my beautiful dress and matching hat? It's one of my favorites, with a pretty pink flower on my bottom. Boy was I styling! Mommy gave me a nice warm bath to make sure I was all clean and presentable before we left to go to the mall. The bath wasn't fun, but the snugging afterward was OK.

Grandpatime!

Grandpa is so big and cuddly - I just couldn't resist a little nap. Hooray for Grandpas!

The Afterbath

Today's bath was NOT FUN. But afterward, mommy let me snuggle in my bunny rabbit towel for a nice long time so that I could get warm again. I love my bunny rabbit towel! I'm not sure I'm ready to face the world out there yet...

What a day!

Today, momma took me to the doctor again. The nurse pricked my heel and stole some of my blood! But the doctor was nice...he said I've gained 12 ounces since my last doctors visit, and that I look healthy. Now I weigh 6 lbs 8 oz. He said I'm growing up to be a big girl, and told momma she's doing a good job of feeding me. I can't wait to be a big girl! How exciting! :)

Happy Girl
