See Kyra’s first year HERE.
PHOTOJOURNAL COMING SOON!
In the meantime I’m using this space to document a few things I want to remember… when I have the chance…

i truly believe your most favorite thing to do these days is to bug your brother. seriously! you know exactly what gets him going and you sense when he’s in a mood that it will bug him. you think it’s funny. we keep telling brendan you’re just a baby and you don’t really know what you’re doing but let me warn you little girl, we see that grin and those looks … he’s going to catch on very soon!

You are walking!!! Daddy set you down at Brendan’s soccer game on the 23rd and of you went, and went, and went. Yay for you! Your brother thinks it’s pretty cool too.

happy birthday, baby girl! what a fun party on sunday then we headed to the bronx zoo for your special day. as expected, you called everything and dog, even when we corrected you, and not one person could walk by without your yelling (literally) “hi!” it was cute and we all had a great day!

talking up a storm! seriously, you’re following your brother’s footsteps of yelling out the front door when you see somebody, anybody move outside. you start talking really loud until they have no choice but to respond to you. then you sit back and clap with a huge smile on your face. love it, you social butterfly, you!

all you want to do is walk … walk, walk, walk, walk … which is wonderful, but it’s while holding someone’s hands … and it is back-breaking! but happy to see you high steppin’!

oh my, a whole month gone by … i am bad! you are crawling (now on your knees after being our personal swiffer by scooting on your belly for a month), all you really want to do is walk while holding our hands (though you think you can run after your brother and his friends), you have totally lost interest in any baby food whatsoever, and you’ve decided that it’s better to cry for mommy and daddy in the night when you wake up instead of trying to go back to sleep … what happened to my good sleeper????

“Ball” “Brendan” and pretty much sounding out whatever words you speak directly to her.
—-
Yay for clapping hands!
—-
You are a dancing fool! If you hear music or anyone sings near you, you immediately get your groove on… the head shakes back and forth, the legs go… I still can’t believe you aren’t crawling with the way those legs move!

Waving hi and bye.

Drinking (for real) from a sippy cup (water).
—-
Mac n cheese, ritz crackers, fruit… chicken nuggets aren’t too far behind!
—-
Yay! Saying Ma-Ma, even if it is only when you whine and want something…

YOU are my “mischief”! I use to call Brendan that but I can sense it in you… you are going to be much more so than Brendan ever was. You little stinker!

Pizza crust is yummy! Especially with the new top teeth you’re getting in.

Hey roller baby! You finally did it… rolled from your stomach to your back. You’d already rolled the other way (though you seem to be too lazy to do it often) but today I think you surprised yourself when you realized you were looking up at the ceiling instead of your blanket. Good job! Another milestone passed… please don’t hurry. you’re already getting big to quickly.

Ba-ba, Da-da, even saying your own version of Brendan… hello! Where’s Ma-ma? I heard you say it in the car last week and thankfully Brendan heard it too or no one would ever believe me.

My God, girl, how many teeth have you got coming in at the same time!?
