It was a very nice treat for Kianna to be able to go from inside to outside as often as she wanted. Coming from Edmonton it definitely felt like summer and she had a great time in just her diaper. We look forward to getting a new house with a fenced back yard so that she can have that freedom at home.
A couple of weeks ago Joe, Kianna and I spent the weekend down in Red Deer and Kianna got her first chance to play at the park with her cousins. By far her favorite was the swing and just walking on the grass and picking up leaves. We also took her down her first slide, first with mom, and then both Madalyn and Rebecca took her also. And finally she jumped on the trampoline for the first time.
Kianna got a new jacket for the spring... it's great for us that she likes it and doesn't fight having it put on.
Here's Kianna helping Grandpa put up the much needed baby gate... little did she know (at that point) what it would be used for.
Grandpa and Kianna spent some time outside in the nice fresh air... you may notice that Grandpa did put her jacket on... but if you look close there are no shoes or socks... good thing grandparents can get away with anything :)
We went to Wendy's for dinner on the last night that Grandma and Grandpa were here and Kianna wanted to learn what a straw was for. She got the concept but hasn't figured out how to suck the pop up yet.
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!!!
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.
