More pictures from this past weekend

We had a great Easter weekend; the three of us were able to take a short, but very nice trip down to Chicago to see Grandma and Grandpa Dechtiarenko. Unfortunately Joe could only stay for 2 days, but Kianna and I got to visit with them for a bit longer. It was really great being able to see Joe's parents play and spend time with Kianna... and she sure did love it too.

Swimming Lessons

Today was Kianna's last day of swimming lessons. We definitely have a water baby. She's done very well and really does love the water. Since it was the last day Joe came to watch as well as to take some pictures for us. Because it was the last day of lessons the big treat for all of the kids was that the waves would be on in the pool. Because of that Kianna had to be in her life jacket while we were in the big pool. Luckily she doesn't mind it to much.

Halfway through the class we went into the kiddy pool so that the kids could warm up a little bit. It was fun to have Kianna sit in the shallow water and play as well as sit or stand on the edge and jump into the water. And finally at the end of class Kianna got her first report card and we are proud to say that she passed her first swimming lessons!!!

Look What I Can Do

Well, it's been a while since we've added any new pictures... and in that time Kianna has learned something new. As you can see she has figured out that if she holds on to the kitchen counter she can then climb up the back cushion of the couch to get her hands on whatever is on the counter, or can manage to see who's in the kitchen. She learns things quick and keeps us busy!

One of Kianna's new favorite things to do is to pull down all of her books and "read" to herself. She has lots of fun and can get quite loud and vocal and always leaves a nice little mess for mom and dad to clean up.
