keira actually started crawling today...just for a little ways. i don't think she even realized she was doing it - i called kev right away and she stopped. but then when i left she did it again:) soo cute. i will try to catch a movie;)

wow. we started this blog exactly 1 year ago. what an amazing year. we had no idea what to expect from the little person inside of me...and words can not express how precious she is - how she fills our days with laughter, everything little thing she does is so exciting...for example...today while kev and i were in her bedroom - she pulled herself up for the first time into a standing position!!! thankfully we were there or we could have found her outside of the crib...needless to stay kev immediately lowered the mattress. sigh. where is our little baby. her latest sounds are mum.....she was saying dada forever...and i know she's not deliberately saying it - it's just a new sound - but how my heart just melts...i have the most awesome full-time job in the world! what a dream come true - thanks be to God for the days we have shared with our daughter!!! hopefully we will have many more - but we shall take them one day at a time! hope this finds everyone doing well! lots of love from us! the vangrootheest's
