Daddy Got a New Machine

And with any luck, he will let me on it to update my blog a little more often!Daddy often says he cannot believe I am only 18 months old!  I don’t get it.  It has been all of my life.  He says he is amazed at how many things I can do already, and how many of them I have picked up without he or mom teaching me.  Well, they teach me, but they just don’t always see it.  I learn so many things by sneaking it!  I watch them when they think I am not.  I also watch them when they are not aware I am there at all.  I have always got my eyes open, and I am always watching everyone around me!More to come…

Kiry Update

So let’s try the online editor…

Kiry has been a busy bunny as of late. Most important things to note are that she is now 18 months and two days old. She is sat on her mom’s lap now trying to go to sleep, so she cannot come and write this herself, so it is up to me to put this post together… Her Dad.
Kiry is walking around fine, and she is even saying a few words that she has been saying for some time, such as cat, and daddy, and Ticky, but those words have been just about the limit of her comprehensible speech. Communication is however becoming far more important to her as she is recognising it as a way of getting others to understand her. Recently she tried tangerines for the first time. Soon after, she would see me eating one and then point to her tray, and then after a few goes at that, she has started pointing onto her tongue to indicate that she wanted some of my tangerine. Luckily, she has a sharing daddy who does bit off the bigger share of the segment, but then shares the bite sized tip with Kiry.
Also of note is that Kiry is very much a creature of comfort. She is always happy at bedtime to spend all the time she needs in arranging her blankets and her pillows till she is content with how she lays before she tries to go to sleep. If she sees her mom going to her computer to play a game before bed, what do you know, but there goes Kiry with a pillow in one hand, her binky/diddy in the other, and a blanket dragging behind her. Once she is cosy on mom’s lap, the game can begin, and it is not long before she is usually asleep.
Kiry also has recently gotten into the habit of carrying her nappy just changed to the bin, and disposing of it properly.
One of Kiry’s favourite things to do is organise. This weekend she was helping to put away the clean dishes. Mommy would dry off a plastic one, and Kiry would go to the plastics cupboard next to the fridge and to our amazement she set down the lid that was in her hand, a unique item of the many types in the cupboard, then used her newly freed hands to open the door. We were further amazed as she started going through the items in the cupboard in her way, till she came across a container, lifted the lid and put it on the container, being the correct one! She does have quite a mind for things like that as she is always able to find one toy, and then the related toys, even if they are among others or in the next room.
I am certainly proud of her, and it is easy to see that she will soon outsmart her Dad, though it will take her some time before she outdoes her mother!

The First Fireworks I ever Saw

What are they?  There are flashes and then sounds.  The whole sky flashes sometimes.  And there are so many colours, they look like glowing flowers in the night sky, or like someone is trying to put all the falling stars back where they belong.  Daddy told me they were called “Fireworks,” and that they were probably from a pub down in Lowesmore.  It was 31 August, and Daddy says he is not sure why they set them off, and that he did not expect them.  I have included the best photo Daddy was able to get of them with St. Andrew’s Spire in the background.  Daddy could not get a better shot that night because I woke up and really wanted to see what was going on.  I sure am glad I got to see the show!

I Have Taken a Few Steps In The Right Direction!

     Yesterday I did something that made Mum and Dad almost almost jump for joy!  Mum came in from getting some air outside and I was stood at Daddy’s knee.  Mum held out her arms and I took a step away from Daddy’s knee and to her.  She stepped back and I took two more steps till she caught me!  Not only were they both so proud, but so was I!  When Mum picked me up I kept tapping my hand on my chest and smiling because I knew that what I did was really good! 

     So, today I have been sneaking in some more practice when nobody is looking!  I can only get a step or two on my own, but you watch out, and I will be all over this house before you know it! 

     Yours,

Kirynie and Daddy!

Fun Days!

          A couple of weeks ago I had a special day that they call a “birfday.”  My mum had one recently too.  But mine was extra fun because my brothers and mum and dad all sang a song to me that goed “happy birfday to you!  Happy birfday to you!  Happy birfday dear Kiry!  Happy birfday to you..!!”  I really liked it a lot when they would all sing it together.  I wonder if they know what the word cacophony means?  ‘Cause they was it! 

          It was also pretty nice because different people brought me stuff, and they got me these nice little books with only a cover and no pages inside that they wrote in themselves.  They were made of card rather than thick board like all my books. 

          Today was a pretty nice day too.  My brothers are out to a place called Chippenham for the week, and today daddy and I had a daddy / daughter day out.  We both got our hair cut, and we had a nice chicken lunch at a place called Nando’s.  Daddy likes it because it makes people’s faces turn red.  I liked it because I had chicken in a sandwich, so that means I got bread!  Bread is one of my favourite foods in the whole wide world!  We also got some flowers that daddy says are for mum and for me! 

          There are lots of things I like to do these days you know.  One of them is to play with a shape sorter.  I love sorting things out, especially my laundry, and things like that.  But I have a shape sorter, and I can get the round shape out and bang it back in all by myself, and I can get it dead on every time without fail! 

          One thing I cannot do though is walk.  I see everyone else at my house walking all the time.  It looks like a great way to get around.  I find standing is sometimes pleasant as a way to free my hands up to play, but I don’t do it for very long because if I do, I know I will bang my head on the floor.  So I grab hold pretty soon. 

          One of the other things I like very much in the world besides sorting is looking at my books.  Books are really nice little things with pages and pictures and stories inside them.  I love books like “Busy Baby,” “Twinkle Twinkle,” and of course the all time classic set of “Bob the Builder” books. 

          Yesterday I got to go with dad to a place I could write a book about.  It is called Worcester Cathedral.  Daddy says he talks bout it a lot, but he does because it is one of the most amazing things in Worcester.  He says it is a great big, ancient building that would be very hard to duplicate today.  Having a look around the place, I still have no idea what “duplicate” is!  Oh well!  It looks like a nice enough place to me.  Maybe when it is old, they will sell it and I can make it into a house.  It looks just about the right size for me! 

          Well, I had better toddle off for now.  I hope everyone is well, and happy! 

Love and Fun and Bubbles!

Mommy Time.!!

Mommy asked if it was ok if she left an ikkle message, and I nodded my head.!!!  ;o)Mommy has had problems in getting the blog to allow her to put her thoughts and comments on here, but she is hoping that she has sorted that problem out now..!!Ikkle Miss Boo is now 10 mths old, and wow, what a wonderful 10mths it has been….:o)Kiry-Boo has definately brought a smile to the family.  She is usually full of the joys of spring (unless her teeth are bothering her, or if she isn’t getting her own way!!).Kiry-Boo has given Mommy & Daddy a challenging time with her teeth, many sleepless nights have resulted in many teeth at 10 mths – 13 of them!!!  Pheww Kiry has been busy.!She is now running chaos around the house, soooooooooo close to walking, but not quite, but that doesn’t stop her getting to where she wants to go!  I’m thinking about calling her spider-boo, she was climbing the walls, and the curtains and me the other day.!!  She is soo proud of herself when she climbs up one of us when we are stood up..She has lots of sounds that she makes….almost words,….’UH-OH’ is such a cute one as she can’t quuuuuuuuite say it…she puts huge effort into ‘UH’ and then runs out of breathe to say ‘OH’.It has definately been an interesting time.!!I love you Kiry-Boo!!   xxx(Thankyou for letting me leave a message..;o))Mommy…xxx

I Get Around!

I have been tugging myself along on the floor for days now, and it has been great! I can get all around the living room and find my way into just about anything I want to!  There are things everywhere I can get to, such as my toys and my books… I love my books!  They are so much fun; with pictures on every page and words al over the place to get mum or dad to read to me!  But that is not gettin’ around.  I like to pull along on the floor and go from my mat to the door, then past dad’s chair, and over to the door to the kitchen.  Along the way I might stop for a play with a toy, or a little bite to eat.  I might stop by and say hi to daddy, and with any luck he might even stoop down and pick me up!  Oh wow!  It is great fun! 

I also like to sit in a special seat mum and dad got for me that lets me stand up.  It is so cool!  I get to walk all around in my seat.  I can go to most of the same places that I can on my belly.  Only thing is though, I cannot get to the yummy things to eat that I sometimes find on the floor. 

If you have not tried crawling, or you have not been for a walk in your seat lately, I highly recommend it!  It is good fun! 

Yours,

Kiry and Daddy!

In the Middle of the Night

Last night I woke up when mum tried to carry me up the stairs.  Silly ol’ parents thought it was time to go to bed!  But I knew better because I was feeling well rested and good, so I got myself up and started to play.  Next thing you know I had convinced my parents it must be play time, so we all sat on their bed and played for a bit.  While we did daddy took some photos of me which I include below.  I liked playing with the grown ups in the middle of the night.  They are a lot of fun then.  I think I might get up and do it again sometime soon!  Of course, they need the practice because as I write this, mum is asleep on the settee.  I stayed up till a part of the night called 3AM!  But we had left dad upstairs asleep by 12:30, so he is doing pretty okay for now.  Maybe that is what I have to do, split them up so there is always one around!  That would be way cool!
