Art by Kaia

Our life is constantly changing with Kaia in our lives. We've decided that as we approach the two year old mark, the changes aren't always for the better. For instance, Kaia has discovered the world of pens, markers and crayons.

Tag

OK, so Heidi tagged me like forever ago and I'm of course just getting around to it. I've decided blogging is not for whimps like me who go to bed at 9:30 p.m. Are most bloggers night owls? That seems like the best time to do it, but I'm usually too tired! Anyway...

Rules:

1. Go to the Document/ My Pictures Site On Your Computer

2. Go to Your Sixth File

3. Go to Your Sixth Picture

4. Blog about It

5. Tag 6 People

Here's Kaia! Of course. I think I took this picture because I tried to put pig tails in her hair (haven't done it since - she doesn't have enough hair). This picture was taken about eight months ago, I would say, when we were living at my parents. Fun times!! Sorry, I'm breaking rule 5. I've always been such a rebel.

Bowling

We made the trek to Ogden to visit Kaia's cousin Caden and to hit our friend Sam's restaurant Sonora Grill. It was awesome. Kaia was not scared of bowling this time, she was actually thrilled with it as long as it was her turn. When we made her wait for her turn she cried and cried. Oh, the joy!

Spring in February

First Haircut

Kaia got to watch Elmo while she got her hair cut. That's why she looks zoned out. It's her usual TV watching face.

She's thrilled, can't you tell??

End result. Fabulous!

Kaia's favorite part about the whole experience - the balloon!

A Child Family Christmas...

Ornaments are for playing with, right?

Christmas dress. Kaia acts so funny when we put a dress on her. She's like, what is all of this material I'm wearing? It's a Sunday only thing, obviously.

Kaia playing Mary in the Christmas Eve Nativity. She thought it was great and even kept her pillow case on her head the whole time!

Our house on Christmas morning. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to get our of our driveway.

Kaia loves Elmo! Or "Ehho" as she says it.

Chocolate waffles!

Angie and Eric, in from San Francisco. Don't we look thrilled???

New bike for Christmas from Grandpa Child! Her other favorite toys: her sunglasses and Brian's triathlon medal.

Bowling! Kaia was scared to death of the bowling alley for the first half of our round. But once we gave her a turn, she was really into it and loved the clapping part when someone got a strike!

Wow, the holidays are exhausting!

New Family Pics

Oh, family photos. I was actually dreading getting photos done of Kaia, because I just knew she would not smile for any of them. She'll smile for me when I'm taking her photo. But just barely long enough for me to get one halfway decent shot. But I guess that's the life of a toddler. Way too busy to sit still for anything!
