Who adores the other more? Kirby and DonDon spent forever outside talking and swinging and looking for birds this weekend!

We went to Beaumont to celebrate Annie's birthday - it was so fun! We took Kirby downtown to see the fireworks which she LOVED. She pointed and made her "surprised" face for each and every one she saw!

Side note...Kirby went to sleep at 7:30 last night- she was exhausted after a big day at the zoo with Maris and "Cuyeeka" as she calls Maria's daughter, Yurika. It's 7:15 now, and she's still asleep! Could this be our very first 12 hour night???? Close enough, right? YAY Kirbs!!!!

we have a walker!

Happy Birthday Hadder Hadder Hads!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet girl!

Kirby's a fan

Kirby had a big week and weekend - a trip to the zoo with Maria and a trip to Beaumont to visit Annie and Don Don. They were so sweet to take a snotty baby who can't breathe and therefore can't sleep!! Meanwhile, Jim and I bleached all the grout and cleaned the carpets in our house - crazy fun, I know.

Of course Kirby's favorite animal at the zoo was the monkey...


Does she look smart or what?

I think it's safe to say the Dairy Queen Baby Cone was a hit!

The carpet fan was an even bigger hit, though!

3 steps!

Kirby took 3 big, great, grown-up, all-by-herself, unassisted steps this evening! She was standing at the foot of my bed and walked right to me - she just went for it and she was so proud of herself. I don't think she's a "walker" just yet, but I can officially say that she walked! YAY Kirbs...you're SOOOO BIG!

Go Go GO!!

Kirby has decided that she loves her push toy and runs all around the house with it yelling, "Go - Go - Go!!" She's not quite ready to let go yet, but I don't think it will be long! When she's not pushing the toy, she will grab your pointer fingers and slide out of your lap so she can lead you all over the house. Don't you love the strategically placed green ball??

Despite the yucky reaction Kirby had to the MMR shot she got a couple of weeks ago, we had a great time in SA visiting PaPa for Father's Day. Fever, body rashes and new surroundings are never a good combo! Kirby went swimming with Daddy and had lots of fun playing with all of her cousins.
