Kiersten Updates

Kiersten truly keeps me on my toes and I have to keep a constant eye on her. She is an active little girl and here are just a few out of many things that she is now doing:

Trying to climb out of her crib(Peter never tried)

Broke her musical mobile (for her crib, Peter did the same with his mobile)

Mastered climbing up the stairs & now able to go down the stairs butt first(with help)

Peter & Kiersten will compete to see who can scream the loudest, it is quite cute at first because they will take turns and go back & forth. After a few screams, my headache starts. Peter has a slight edge b/c he can scream longer. They also 'play' and 'argue' with each other.

Hates her diaper ALREADY (I have never worked so hard to keep a diaper on her)

Enjoys rearranging my refrigerator, pantry and the pots and pans.

Enjoys exploring underneath our bed (yes its high & I should have bought a stool to get into bed) & has hidden from me with Peter's help.

Can climb onto her toy chest and look out her window.

Throws temper tantrums. She actually lays on the floor and whines and stomps her feet. I have never seen this in a child so young and it will stop as soon as she gets old enough for us to lay down some rules for her that she understands..will be soon! I can't stand whining!!!

A great eater and has enjoyed adult type foods for several months now even though she still gets some baby food. We are so excited that we have only a week and a few days until she will drink whole milk!

Kiersten has been saying Mama, Dada, and a few other words for some time now. If we ask her where is Mama, Dada or Peter, she will turn and look for the right person.

I don't have any current stats, but I will be taking Peter & Kiersten to the pediatrician for his 4yr old and her 1yr old visit in a week and a half!
