Cousin Time

Last week was exciting for Kiana, she got to meet her cousin Colin for the first time. Will & Erin took a trip to Colorado last week to attend a family wedding, so we were excited to find out they were coming down to Canon for a couple days. Kiana had fun playing with Colin, or should I say watching Colin crawl all around the house. Colin is your typical one year old, he wants to be EVERYWHERE! Kiana had to share her toy in order for him to sit long enough for us to take a picture where they were both looking at the camera.


Here's a few pictures we took while visiting Great Grandma Wilma. Kiana almost overnight mastered the whole sitting concept while they were here, or at least she gave up fighting me.


Although, it's a lot easier to watch Colin travel around when you're sitting instead of laying down.


"So that's how those thing work!"

Colin was doing a good job at sharing, he wanted to put everything in Kiana's mouth.

The second day they were here we figured we would try the baby pool out. I've been waiting till she sits good on her own, and I thought Kiana could learn from Colin how to play in the pool, instead of being scared of it. Here's my bathing beauty just waiting for mom to get going.

She wasn't quite sure what to think at first. Colin on the other hand is a natural.

The detachable butterflies were a big hit. I've learned that when it comes to a lot of things with Kiana, distraction is key.

The water isn't so bad!

It wasn't long before Kiana had had enough. Colin though would have stayed all day if we let him.

Since we left our sunhat inside, Colin was nice enough to let Kiana borrow his.

I remember the days when I'd go swimming all day and pass out on a lawn chair wrapped in a towel. Kiana hadn't slept so good in awhile. Maybe we'll be doing swimming more often.

See you guys soon, we'll miss you!
