Delayed Vacation Pictures

It has been a crazy week since we've been back from our cruise vacation.  Two days after we arrived home, we had out of town guests and we hosted a large brunch.  I still have the coffee percolator out on my countertop!  Adjusting back to Kira's schedule has been good and bad.  Finally, worst of all, Kira and I both have a cold.  Kira has been coughing and has a runny nose.  Otherwise, she behaves normally.  I also had a cough and runny nose, both of which are better today, but today was the worst day for me in terms of energy.  The entire day I was so fatigued.  Because I'm not performing at 100%, Trevor has been helping out a lot around the house, and thus, he has no time to sort and post process the pictures.  Don't worry, they're coming!

There have been some changes to Kira's schedule, not because of the cruise, but thanks to the cruise, the changes have happened a lot quicker than I would have thought.  First of all, I'm trying to shift Kira to just one nap per day.  We're not quite there yet, but because her rock hard solid schedule was thrown off by the vacation, we will be there soon and with less pain.  Secondly, Kira drinks less milk.  I keep hearing, from various sources, that Kira doesn't need that much milk, and in fact, drinking too much milk makes her less hungry for other more nutritious foods.  So, rather than having 4 bottles of 6-8 oz per day, she has only 3: one when she wakes, one after her single nap, and one before bed.  The new milk schedule is already in place and I do actually notice she eats more solid foods.  My next goal for Kira is for her to eat other vegetables besides broccoli!  It's the only green thing she eats!!

Last item: I'm trying really hard to read more to Kira.  I want reading to become second nature, like breathing!  I know that's extreme, but it is to what I am aspiring.  This week has been tough in terms of reading because I'm so tired.  Kira has been watching more TV than she normally does.  I really hope it isn't a habit yet!!

Random: I'm going to try and video Kira talking on the phone.  Tonight Trevor witnessed for the first time how she acts while talking on the phone.  He got a kick out of it, and I'll bet you guys will too.
