christmas

Kiana Really enjoyed christmas this year alot more then last year. She had a great time opening presents and playing with all her new things.  Kiana got a new doll and stroller, a booster seat, puzzle, book and movie, she also got a box of legos from santa. Kiana Loved everything she got and carries or pushes her baby doll in it's stroller and sleeps with it at bed time and nap time.

Getting ready for Christmas

Kiana is starting to get excited about christmas. She's noticed that presents are starting to appear under the tree and i'm constintly telling her to leave them alone. luckly she hasn't managed to unwrap any as of yet. but she has a couple presents under the tree that a ward gave us the money to get(i've noticed money doesn't go very far anymore) i've still got a few other things that i want to get her before christmas though.

23 months

Kiana is now almost 23 months old and is a joy to have around.  She has grown so much in the last few months. here are some pics from when she was born to now. I can't believe how much she has grown. The past two years have really flown by. I miss her being so little but i also enjoy being able to play with her more .  some of the things she likes to do now are:

follow aelita everywhere aelita goes

eat all the time

be held

sing

play with blocks.

BYU's Earth Science Museum

i don't know why i didn't post about this in november when i posted it in aelita's blog Kiana was with us i guess i just got sidetracked. anyway Kiana really enjoyed the museum as well. here are a few pics. (they're kinda blurry kiana can't stand still long enough for me to get a picture)

snow

when we got snow a few days ago i took kiana out to play in it but instead of playing in the snow like i though that she would she just stood on the sidewalk and cried to be picked back up.

UVU Homecoming Kids night.

Tuesday i took Kiana and Aelita to the UVU Homecoming kids night. The had a lot of fun and really enjoyed seeing the basketball teams and the cheerleaders and dance teams. It was a lot of fun and she loves playing with the basketball that she now has with the entire 2009-2010 men's and womesn's basketball teams signitures on it.

Happy Halloween

Kiana really enjoyed Halloween this year. She was so cute going up to the doors with Aelita and Remington. She was the cutest little butterfly ever. She also liked the donuts that we got from the relief socity president as she was making them in her garage. I'll post pics of her in her costume as soon as i can find a cord for the camera.

Big Girl Bed

Well yesterday i got Kiana a toddler bed. Last night was her first night to sleep in it and it took forever to get her to go to sleep. She would scream for 20 mins and bang on the door so i'd go in and put her back to bed and then finally about 3 hrs later she was fast asleep. I can't believe that she's going to be two already in January. She's growing up way too fast. next thing i know she'll be starting kindergarten.

Kiana finally has gotten over the bloody noses for now at least. she's getting so big now and so much like her big sister. Tonight i took them to movie night at UVU and Kiana had a fun time. She loved looking at all the different things going on and getting her face painted and getting a balloon puppie. she also loved getting popcorn and ate about three bags of it and then stole her sisters. it was a fun night and wish it could happen more often but it's not everyday your school gets a new president.

Bloody Noses

Lately kiana has been getting really bad bloody noses at night and at nap time. I've started putting vaseline in her nose to help keep it from drying out but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm going to look at humidifiers tomorrow to see if maybe that will help.

big girl.

Kiana is growing up way too fast. She will be two in just 4 months. She loves to eat. Her new favorite food is apples and pears. She also loves spicy foods and just about everything else too. She doesn't like it when i leave her at the baby sitters but is just fine once i leave. When i get there to pick her up she doesn't want to leave. She also loves to play with sissy and going outside. Kiana is still very much a mommas girl and very strong willed. She's still not talking much but i'm hoping that she starts soon. Kiana has also started to take of her diapers when ever she gets the chance so i've had to start keeping pants on her during the day and blanketsleepers or pajama pants on her at night so that she can't take off her diaper.

my baby girl

Well the physican's assistent came and looked over Kiana and said the it was most likely a viral thing going on. He looked at her ears and throat and they looked good so he said to wait it out and it should go away in a few days her temp has gone down it's now 99.6 which is a lot better then 104 like it was yesterday.

My sick baby

This morning when i woke the girls up to go to daycare i noticed that kiana was a little bit warm. So I left her here with carolyn and took aelita to daycare. When i got home i was told that her temp went up to 104 and then slowly went down after a luke warm bath and a dose of motrin. Right now we're waiting on a physican assistent to come over and look at her and see what he says to do right now i'm just giving her lots of fluids and trying to keep her cool as i can. I'll update when i know more.

Daycare

Kiana started daycare this week in provo while i'm going to uvu in orem. She has a great time while she's there playing with the other kids. She cries when i leave but then has a great time and is all smiles when i pick her up after school. She's such a sweet baby and loves everyone.

Kiana is getting to talk more she still mainly babbles but she is talking more everyday. She's also taken to heather quite well. She's such a good baby and still loves to eat anything and everything.

Kiana is doing well. she as already adjusted to being in utah and loves taking baths in the huge bath tub ok maybe not huge but compared to the bathtub at the trailer we were living in it's huge. She's a very active little girl and is mimiking every thing that she sees her sister doing.

my little climber

Kiana is now climbing over anything and every thing. at first it was just climbing out of her highchair, but now she climbs on the couch, the chairs, the beds and anything else she can get her hands and feet on. i just hope she doesn't figure out how to climb out of the crib anytime soon. She also loves to eat and if i take her her out side when i try to weed out the garden she tries to eat all the greenbeans. Kiana has also become a little bully. She has started hitting aelita and just non stop aggravating aelita all the time

my little monkey

okay so lately Kiana has been my little monkey. she has started climbing out her of highchair and onto the table which means now we have to start strapping her in to the high chair. She's also a momma's girl and wants to be held whenever i'm home and won't go to anyone else unless i peel her off of me and hand her off to someone else. She also loves to go out side and play and bug her sister. other then that she's such a good girl.

Kiana is taking more and more everyday. She has also started to try to sing and dance. Kiana has also started trying to tickle Aelita. She is getting so big way to fast. She still loves to be held by mommy and loves to give kisses and hugs

Kiana is such a good baby. She loves every one and really brings a smile to everyones face that she's her.every one at church loves her and always says how cute she is. Next months she starts going to Nursery and i'll be able to go to sunday school and relief society with no children :( i'll miss having her with me. but i'll be glad she'll be around other children.

food

Kiana loves to eat. She'll eat her breakfast then she'll try to eat everyone else's food. Her faviorite foods right now is pretty much every thing except veggies other then greenbeans. She probably weighs as much as Aelita at this point and is almost as tall as Aelita

Getting so big

Kiana is getting so big. She's now almost as tall as Aelita. Kiana loves to eat and will eat everything that she can. If we feed her and then we eat she'll want whatever we have to...Most of the time i don't let her have my what i'm eating my Aelita and nana sure do. Kiana has also started to get sissy back for being mean to her, takes peoples food out of their hands and a few other things too. She's still my little cuddle bug and loves to give hugs and kisses to everyone.

new words Kiana can say

Kiana is getting so talkative now here's some of the things she's saying now
no
nana
bruiser
eat
momma
angel
jasper

silly girl

Kiana is getting to be so silly lately. She's always doing something. Today she was playing with aelita and laying on her. it was so cute. I can't believe that she's almost 16 months old already.She's growing up way to fast. I've also started to try and potty train her she'll sit on the potty for little bits at a time. this afternoon she pooped on the floor right next to the bathroom door.it was so gross. I can't believe that she's growing up so fast.

15 months already

I can't believe that kiana is already 15 months old. She's grown up way too fast. She's now getting into everything and is entering the terrible twos....couldn't she have waited until Aelita grew out of it first? Kiana has also started trowing little temper tantrums although not nearly as bad as Aelita yet and hopefully it doesn't get to that point. she loves to play outside and has a fit if you try to get her to come back inside.

Easter

Kiana had a pretty good easter just like aelita she got a lot of candy and a toy and a movie she got springtime with roo and sat and watched most of it. She also sat through most of sacrament meeting. She found a lot of the eggs that we hid in the yard with help from papa. She dumped most of the candy all over the floor which we had to get up before the puppies found them bruiser found a few but i got them from him before he could actually eat them. She had fun and i think she enjoyed the day.

Kiana is starting to babble more and more every day. she now says momma, nana, no and stop. she's also started to irrate her sister and standing right in front of the t.v when aelita is watching a movie. I can't believe that she's going to be 15 months old this month which reminds me i need to set up her 15 month well baby appointment.

cuddler

Kiana is such a little cuddle bug. she loves to give hugs and kisses to mommy, nana and aelita. I can't believe that she's already 14 months old. She's growing up so fast.

almost 1 1/2

Kiana is getting so big she's already almost 1 1/2 years old. the time really goes by way too fast. She's becoming quite independent and loves to bug Aelita all the time and gets into everything. She also likes dumping out bruisers food all over the kitchen floor.

allergies..maybe...hopefully

okay so i think Kiana's runny nose and watery eyes are just allergies. since this just started when the weather got warmer and my car and every thing has been covered in pollen this past week. hopefully that's all it is.

sick once again

Kiana is now sick. She's running a fever and one of her eyes is really watery. She's also got a runny nose and is really fussy. poor baby i feel so bad for her.

favorite food

Kiana loves to eat. so far we've found that her favorite foods are
spaghetti
cereal
eggs
rice
cookies
she's really not much of a veggie and fruit eater like aelita but i'll get her to eat them somehow

Outside

Kiana loves to play outside with her sister. she pushed around her little ride on toy all over the yard it was so cute. then she played with there little toy kitchen

sleepy head

this is kiana tonight just before dinner she wouldn't stay out of the kitchen so i put her in her high chair and this is how i found her when i went to feed her.

so big

Kiana is getting so big now. She walks everywhere now and can even pick up her toys while standing with out falling over. She's also babbling more and more everyday and has found a new hobby of bugging her sister.

1 year check up

Kiana finally had her one year well baby appointment. the poor kid got 3 shots today. I'd tell you how much she weighed but they didn't tell me so when i weigh her myself i'll let you know. she is 29 inches tall though she's about a foot shorter then aelita

she's fully mobile

Kiana has started walking everywhere and gets into everything. She also bugs her sister more and more now. she loves to eat and she's also started to talk she says no and stop it that's about it for now but i'm sure she be taking in no time. I just wish she'd slow down on the growing up.

1 year old

today is kiana's first birthday she's getting so big way to fast. She's also such an easy going baby most of the time. tomorrow she's having her birthdayparty at the rescue squad that grandma works at. i'll post pix when i can.
