four months

Kiera is starting to become more like a baby baby. She is starting to decide what she likes or doesn’t like. She doesn’t like formula! She knows how to struggle and try to get out of her not so favorite car seat and bouncer. She also likes to yell/talk and cry a little before she finally falls asleep in her own bed for nap time. She loves to laugh and is now enjoying the peek a boo game. Her spits are still ongoing and she has started to drool like crazy. :D She loves to be entertained and loves looking at people. She enjoys her bath and seems to get excited when I put new cloths on her. She likes to hold her hands together to sooth herself to sleep. She can grab lots of things now! Including my hair! Recently she has been more fussy then ever before.. we aren’t sure if it’s cause of her lump that has formed from her injection or if some teeth might be starting to annoy her gums ( cause she is very young to be teething). Besides the last two nights she has been sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG for a couple of weeks now so it’s been very good. Hopefully the last two nights were just a phase... or else I might have to introduce some rice cereal in her diet!

So what has been exciting in my life? I have recently tried running along the beach and it’s sooo fuN! I officially weigh less than I have ever been in the USA ( since 2005) ! Gotta love breast feeding and my gym. I have made two pot holders,, gosh they were not easy for some reason. I kept breaking needles.. until I realized that I wasn’t using the right thickness of needles!! GO figure! These are really ugly up close! I DID soo many mistakes..oh well. All part of the learning process and it was still fun! We have also recently purchased a dishwasher! Our other one failed. But the dishwasher guy gave us some great insight! THEY SAID IT”S WORSE for your dish washer and dishes to wash them before you put it into your dish washer. You should only scrub the food off. One other thing that is pretty exciting is that WE GOT A BLENDER! I know that might not be too exciting for you but I’m pretty excited about it :D . I still love cooking and watching American idol. I’m trying to finish reading kite runner. I have also FINALLY been able to stick to my goal, pretty consistently, to read a page of the Book of Mormon in Chinese before bed time and I have been speaking Chinese to Kiera more. Something not so exciting.. I went to the dentist (and to people who just gave birth GO CHECK your teeth cause) I got soo many cavities from loosing all my calcium and other nutrients from giving birth and breastfeeding ( also maybe a sudden increase intake of dessert :P ) . I was so shocked cause I don’t remember the last time I have had cavities.
