More pics from Kira's 12th month

Mother's Day








Do YOU want to try prying the spoon from her death grip? I don't think so.






She loves crawling in the laundry basket...


...but it really does a number on her hair.


Kira loves glasses!!

Random pics from the last month

If this was a painting I would title it "unimpressed"

COSI videos and a random cat-chasing video

COSI = Kira's new favorite place

I had no idea that COSI had such a huge kids' play area! Even better, its entirely accessible and safe for a baby of Kira's age. She was ecstatic to be able to go, go, go, and never have to worry about mama picking her up and removing her from whatever awesome thing she was just about to do, like tip over a trashcan or touch the toilet.

But only one type of toy at COSI had a place in this almost one-year-old's heart. The baby push scooter. I mean every now and then she'd pick up a ball-pit ball up off the floor and bite it, but she almost exclusively pushed a scooter around for over an hour. She didn't even look at me when I said her name in the most sing-songy, fun voice I could muster (ten times in a row). She was busy pushing the scooter. And when she ran into a wall, she moved the scooter (sometimes with help) and pushed again.

All this scooter love is due to her recent obsession with learning to walk. Yesterday was a big breakthrough day for Kira's walking skillz. It was all she wanted to practice, and she walked up to ten steps several times.

Video of Kira and her scooters will come... in the meantime, here are some pictures:

It was love at first scoot.




Kira and Isabel!!
