Yikes, where does the time go?

So it seems that it has been a while since last posting. Things have been crazy around here, since selling our place we have been looking at houses every spare moment that we've had. After looking for over 6 weeks and have 2 horrible inspections at 2 different houses, Jon and I have thrown in the towel. It seems that while we sold at the right time, we are buying at the wrong time and in the wrong price point --- everyone is buying a house at our price point right now! We have decided just to rent for a year or so, save up for a larger place, and move when the right place comes along. While renting is not ideal, it does allow us a lot more flexibility, I know the right place will come along for us, just maybe not right now.

Kira has been doing very well lately. We have been trucking her out to various doctors appointments to get to the bottom of this rash she has had on her torso + diaper area for the last couple of months. After ruling out food allergies, diaper allergies, ointment allergies, yeast infection, and heat rash, we were finally referred to the dermatologist at Children's Hospital. Unfortunately, we are no closer to the cause of the rash, but, fortunately, the darn thing appears to be disappearing on it's own. Strange stuff. Never did bother her, just bothered us.

The last week has seen Kira add a few more words to her vocabulary. While they aren't easily understood, they are definitely the beginnings of the words. So far she has the usual Mama + Dada down, she also says Hi, done, and now says bye bye (it sounds like ba-ba), and baby (which we call her all the time). She has also started to say all done.

Kira is also starting her transition to the "terrible two's". We find ourselves saying no to her A LOT! She has a very clear understanding of what she is allowed to do and what she is not allowed to do, but she sure loves to test our patience. I'm sure the next few years will be good fun. One of her favourite things to do is remove her glasses and then hand them back to you. Drives me crazy!! Well today she finally snapped the arm right off of her glasses. Guess she got her way in the end, she'll be glasses free for the next day or two while we get them fixed. Smart kid.
