Kira updates; she is adding more words and phrases every day, I think that we may be close to her communicating (couple more months-ish). She says Oh boy, oh yeah, and is very good with "no". I have a great video, will try to post later this week. We recently hid her bottles from her in an effort to get her to drink milk from a sippy cup or cup; but my darling child is incredibly stubborn, and has instead stopped drinking milk altogether. She can drink from cups, bottles (water, juice etc) and sippy cups, but she chooses not to drink milk from these. She only wants it from her bottle. It's been almost a month now and we don't seem any closer to a solution. We have been supplementing with lots of yogurt, cheese and other dairy rich items. We had a mini-breakthrough yesterday when she requested cereal in her milk; she typically likes her cereal dry. We'll see how things progress. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Kira went for her quarterly check up this week, and her prescription was amended to something slightly stronger. Her eye is starting to turn in more so the doctor is trying to strengthen the muscles. She is now at +5.00 and +5.25. Jon and I have noticed her eye turning in when she is not wearing her glasses, hopefully the new prescription will help. Poor kid.
Otherwise, things here have been the same old. We have a few videos to post of Kira and I'll try to get those up tomorrow or later this week.

Thanks for taking the time to update with the going ons with you all. I certainly appreciate reading about how you are growing as a family with Kira.

I lost that battle Janine, Eva still drinks milk from the bottle, she resolutely refuses to drink milk from any other vessel. Sigh.
