Little, Little Ladybug - Keira

Keira Christina Eve

Keira was born right when I wanted her to. With only a 3 hour labor she was born on May 19, 2008 at 12:34 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz., with a head full of long dark hair. My first child to be born with hair. No one took to Jake as immediately as she did.

As a baby she did everything early. She started smiling at 2 weeks. When other babies were starting to roll over she was starting to crawl just at the end of 4 months, she rolled over at 2 months.

Keira is what we call a charmer. She bats her eyelashes and gives you a smile and then she can get anyone to do anything for her, especially be picked up. She is partically good at working her magic on Grandpas. When she isn't working her charm magic, she is in a permament scowl. Just ask Aunt Becky all about it. I fequently have poeple ask me if she hates them. I tell them "No. She just looks like that with everyone."

She loves to play dress up. She really loves playing with Barbies. She spends hours in her room playing with her Barbie house, undressing and redressing her Barbies. It is also her favorite thing to do at Grandma's house. Her favorite movies are anything that has Barbie in it. She always chooses "Magic of the Rainbow" first.

Keira just turned 3 and is going to be going to preschool in the neighborhood this year. She is really excited to get a new packback and go to school like the big kids. I'm really looking forward to having a few hours to get my sanity back.

Keira's best friend is her kiki (pink blanket) and her sister. Anytime I tell her she has to leave her kiki behind she says "But I love her.". Keira would wear a dress or skirt evey day if it were up to her. She really likes to wear stretch pants underneath them too. Despite having the girly dress gene, she hates to have her hair done. Anytime I give her a ponytail she has pulled it out within an hour. She once told me she likes having her hair in her eyes. I don't get it.

When I asked Keira what she wanted to be when she grows up she looked at me with a look of duh and said "Tall". May she take after her sister and aunts.

Keira is a very snuggily girl. When you sleep with her she must be touching you. If you start not touching she just keeps scuching over until she is right in your back. And when she looks at with her emerald green eyes, you just melt. She can be the sweetest girl or the biggest brat. You never know what you're going to get, but I sure do love my sweet little ladybug.
