Early intervention appointment

Today Kiana had another appointment with her early intervention person Melinda.  Melinda work with herand me on parallel talk which is using simple phrases such as egg open and egg closed or pig in and pig out and a few other things like that. She also work with us on signing "more" 

she speaks....kinda

lately kiana has slowly started to say a few more words lately but they are still pretty much nonunderstandable, and she still mostly grunts whines and cries to get what she wants or needs.  However when she needs a diaper changed she'll to get me a diaper and the wipes and starts to undress herself so that i can change her diaper(i'm thinking that means it's time to start to potty train her, but i like having a baby around way too much) She also likes to sing twinkle twinkle little star, when she sings it it's inkle inkle ittle tar but it's still way cute and at least she's finally trying to talk more now.  she also has a meeting with her early interventionist on Wednesday so I'll let you all know how that's going. some goals that they've set for her are

1. learn some basic signs

2. imitate animal and environmental sounds

3. increase vocab to 25 to 30 words from the 10 or so that she now says.

Ryan and Asha's Wedding

Kiana was a flowergirl for Ryan and Asha's wedding. She was actually a little terrified of all the people that were around and didn't quite know what to do for the 1st few days when all of ryan's family started to show up and just wanted to be held. however after a few days she started warming up and just wanted to be with all the other kids. She also looked adorable in her dress and really enjoyed the food.

i am assuming that i was feeding her something when ryans sister took this pic.(i wish i could cut myself out of the pic though)
