Kiera happened to wake up the other morning as I was getting some video footage of Luke in his exersaucer. Notice the huge smile that comes across his face as soon as he hears her voice on the monitor.

Sophie the Giraffe
Luke truly loves his giraffe teething toy from Oma. He drools and gnaws on it all day long. But when the sun goes down...

Multitasking
I walked into Kiera's room the other day and here's what I saw-
She was:
1. on the potty
2. working on her laptop (right hand)
3. holding a sippy cup of milk (left hand)
4. balancing a book between her feet to read later. Or maybe she had already taken care of that.
I was able to take this photo without disturbing her...

The latest from Beaumont...
 |
| Kiera picked out a pumpkin for herself and one for Luke and painted them earlier this week. |
 |
| We went for a hike in Big Thicket. |
 |
| Mornings have been cooler lately and Kiera wanted to make sure she and Luke were ready for the chill. |
 |
| And one other important thing has been happening a lot in Beaumont-- Luke has been smiling. A lot. |

| Sweet Ella. Kiera asks to have Ella upstairs with her during nap time almost every day. |
 |
| No DNA test necessary-- this girl loves cheese the way only an Alvarey can. Here she's eating Parmesan ('Farmer John') but she also loves Munster ('Monster'). |

| Cozy book nook. |
Daddy's gone...
and things are slightly crazy. We've had a pretty good couple of days since David left for Vegas but we really miss him. Ella misses her early morning walks and Kiera misses the FUN that only he can bring...and she misses being tickled. She actually likes it and asks for more sometimes.
Yesterday was ok but at one point I was rushing to get somewhere on time (going anywhere with two kids, even if it's just a few blocks, feels like the the Lewis and Clark expedition) and trying to get Kiera to grab some socks so we could put her shoes on. I was acting kind of frantic and Kiera said: "Calm down, Mom." I love that she said this because it was totally justified...and I love that she calls me 'mom' instead of 'mommy.'
She's also been using some other fun words and expressions lately: 'huge', 'though,' 'recognize,' 'need very badly', and 'of all' (as in 'I don't like that of all'). And she's been putting bandaids on everything-- all over herself and on many of her toys.
Kiera's fun to be with-- we really enjoy her spunky personality.
