June 7

Today is one month from my due date!!! It also means Kiran is 21 months old. I have been working on my blog book from my old blog and I've enjoyed the rereading the posts I wrote when she was a newborn and the months beyond. I haven't done this in a while but I'm going to try to list 21 facts about Kiran that are true today.

1. She eats pretty much anything. She is not a picky eater.
2. She loves strawberries and would eat the whole quart if we would let her.
3. She talks up a storm and is learning new words every day. This week she's added lake, almost, mom, pickle, table, ocean, pool, elevator.
4. Our neighbor across the street is named Mike. Every time she sees him outside, she stands at our front windows and yells "Mike! Mike!"
5. She loves her babies- taking them for rides in the stroller, putting them down for night-night, giving them baths in our baby bathtub.
6. She knows the colors purple, blue, pink, green, orange, yellow, black, brown, red and white.
7. On our rides to and from the beach, she would announce when we passed a truck and tell us what color it was.
8. She's starting to talk in sentences- I got it! I did it! Open the box!
9. Every time I say something about baby sister kicking, Kiran runs over to my belly and puts her hands on my belly. And every time, the baby stops kicking. Every time. Kiran has never felt the baby kick.
10. She loves puzzles especially her ABC puzzle.
11. She can correctly identify most of her letters.
12. The only number she knows is 8. And every number is 8.
13. Her favorite thing to do is drive her car around the house. Except she just sits on it and moves back and forth without actually moving the car. And she's perfectly content doing this.
14. Every night after we brush her teeth, she runs into her room yelling "Bible!!!!!!!!!!" We get down her Bible (we have to keep one up because she destroyed her other one) and she reads it. She picks out two different books for me and J to read at the same time. She doesn't actually want to read her Bible; she just wants to find Jesus.
15. She says "I-meem" at the end of the prayers.
16. She's had 12 teeth now for about 8 months. Just this week one of her eye teeth poked through! The other top one is right there and I think the bottom ones are coming soon.
17. She *usually* loves to go night-night and will sleep 11-12 hours at night and 1.5 hours in the day.
18. She knows how to go get her basket of dirty clothes and bring it to the washing machine. I'll put down the stool and she'll load her dirty clothes into the washer.
19. She loves water. She LOVES her baths. She loved the ocean, the pool and the lake.
20. She loves to color and just started making Os with the crayons. And telling us about the Os. I think O is her favorite letter.
21. She is fun and spunky and she keeps us on our toes. She is a ball of energy and we love it.

I can't believe how quickly the first 21 months have gone. I'm so glad we get to do this all over again.
