August (20 Months)

Grant got a new tent and we decided to break it in by taking Kiana on her first camping trip. We went up to Eleven Mile Reservoir. Kiana fell asleep great on her own. She even got her own room in the tent. She woke up once we came into the tent later that evening and decided she wanted to sleep with us the rest of the night. Here she is the next morning. What a beautiful view to wake up to!




Our new tent took less the five minutes to put up and take down. Pretty cool and huge!



Going for her first boat ride!


Peak-a-boo!


Kiana started Gymnastics last month. She has had a lot of fun and I am more impressed with how much it has benefited her. She has learned how to take turns, follow directions and commands, and has dramatically improved her coordination and balance. She now can do a perfect somersault.




Jumping around at Gymnastics has caused her to find new things she can jump on. Our couch has become her newest jungle gym. At first we thought she just wanted to climb up onto the top of the couch.




I think Grant was just as surprised as Kiana when she decided to roll off!

July (19 Months)

Photos from July!

Colorado Renaissance Festival! Kiana's first Llama ride.










We got a new cabinet for the entryway, specifically for all of our shoes. Kiana was having fun using it as a new hiding place.


Fourth of July at the Air Force Academy Football Stadium.










Kiana has started demanding that when I get home I take my shoes off and let her walk around in them. Her wearing my heals makes me nervous, but she does pretty good in them. It's a good thing though she can fit her whole foot in the toe part before the high arches begin.


Trip to the Denver Children's Museum!




Grant wants to turn our basement into a tree house like at the Museum. Not quite sure how!


The museum was all about playing dress up and role playing. Here's Kiana as a firefighter.




Our little artist!


Future veterinarian!




She loved the shopping area! She must be paying attention she knew just what to do without too much direction!

June (18 Months)

Photos from June!

Kiana and I went to a small carnival put on by the local MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers). Kiana loves bounce houses and ran to it first when she saw it.




She spent a lot of time playing with the ducks in the pool. Kiana didn't care about the prizes she just wanted to play with the ducks.

Kiana got to get her face painted again. He was so surprised at how good she was doing. She did such a good job, she got a matching flower on her other cheek as well.

Kiana got to go to the Circus for the first time. She wasn't as excited when we saw Disney of Ice, but I think there was so much going on at one time it was hard to know what to watch.

For Father's Day Kiana made her daddy a bowl. I let her paint the inside of a ceramic bowl while she put her hand print on the top.
