Mommy's Reflections
Kiri turned 3 months old right as Ryan hurt his back. That has impacted our routines a bit and impacted her first out of state trip. We flew, rather than drove, to Minnesota for Garrett and Kayla's wedding. Kiri was the flower girl or flowerbaby as I called her. Kiri was a champ on both flights, though it was easier on the way out when Krista was traveling with us. Kiri did a great job for the wedding and I was quite happy to walk down the aisle and know that no one was looking at me. She was just fine being passed around to family and friends. She didn't like the very loud music during the dance, but was just fine when we retreated back from the speakers. She was tuckered out at the end and did a great job as a flowerbaby.

Kiri also started daycare this month. Everyone is wondering how I am doing with that. Just fine is the answer. I like the provider, I don't feel there are too many kids and I feel she is well cared for. It was nice that she could be at home with us for three months between myself, Daddy and Krista, but as a working mom, it had to happen sometime.

Ryan and I have been abundantly blessed by Kiri. We often sit around and marvel at her. This little human, our daughter. She entertains and amazes us.
