I know it has been almost a week but things got a little hectic. Starting with me getting pretty sick. Sicker than I have been in quite sometime. I am feeling better now and am anxiously awaiting the antibiotics to really kick in and get rid of this nastiness that has all but consumed me in the last week.
So here is what has been going on:
+ Kiya is officially 20 months old :) She is just a dream really. So sweet and eager to learn. She can count to ten and sing the ABC song with you. Sure she doesn't get all the correct words or letters but she is so excited to do it with you. She can accurately complete her animal sounds puzzle and she LOVES to stack all 10 of her stacking cups and then of course knock them down. She is quite fascinated lately with baby dolls. She will hug them and rock them and kiss them. So sweet. She also likes to play pretend. I watched yesterday as she "poured" herself a cup of tea and then "drank" it. She has also become quite fascinated with Dora the Explorer. We only let her watch it occasionally but her potty book is Dora and she asks for that a lot. She is also really into Yo Gabba Gabba, a show I swore I would never let her watch as I find it annoying. She loves it. She dances and trys to imitate motions, etc. We also think that Kiya might be getting the concept that she has a messy diaper. Sure we ask her if she has a poop and she says yeah and sometimes she is right and sometimes not. But she has started to grab at her diaper when it is really wet or messy. This is a good sign. She has noticed her shadow and is not a fan. She first noticed it in the bath tub and totally freaked out. She frantically did the sign for all done and wanted out of that tub. She has since noticed it on the wall by her changing table and on the wall of the stairs. She is getting less afraid as we are telling her it is friendly and she can fist bump it. She says hi to it and bye to it. It is pretty cute really.

+ Birth to 3 is coming for a follow up meeting tomorrow. Based on the evaluation they sent me, it looks like Kiya will qualify for physical therapy. We are anxious to get started with this and help her move forward. They estimated her locomotion skills at about a 14 month age level which given her muscle tone issues she is really right on track but hasn't caught up yet. In all other areas like speech, problem solving, fine motor, etc Kiya was at age level or higher. We are so proud of her.
+ Saturday is a big day. 11 years ago Saturday, Dave and I got married at Mission Santa Clara surrounded by all our friends and family. I cannot believe it has been that long. To celebrate we are going to the Brewers game :)
So I guess that is about it for now.
