Keira's First "Why" Question

As we were eating dinner last night, the 3 of us were having our usual conversations about the day, what we did, how the day had gone, etc. Thankfully, Keira had taken a nap this day, which means she was still awake when Noah got home and he was even able to join us for dinner!


Keira told me she was finished eating, so I began to clear her tray. I moved her milk cup off the tray and set in on the table in front of me. A few seconds later she exclaimed, "Why'd you take it away, Mommy?!" Noah and I just looked at each other and started cracking up!

This is the first time we had heard her ask a "why" question and she actually used it as a contraction too (why'd). The funniest part was her expression and tone of voice. She was very animated and had raised her voice. Then, when she saw that we were surprised at her question & laughed, she repeated the question and giggled too. It was a fun moment!! I wonder if this is the start of the barrage of why questions soon to come?

During Thanksgiving week, my mom came to visit & Keira got to spend lots of quality time with her Grammy. It was an unusual Thanksgiving holiday for us because Noah's family was not with us (they came down here the previous 2 years). So, we had a very low-key holiday with just the 4 of us and we broke tradition and didn't even cook a turkey! Instead, it was BBQ steak with some of the usual Thanksgiving sides.

On Thanksgiving Day, Keira got to open an early Christmas present from Grammy!

Taking it for a spin!

Thanks for the new ride, Grammy!

We also took the opportunity to go to Sea World.
That's Keira's version of a smile...or maybe she's trying to imitate the shark jaws??

Reading books, always a favorite activity!

At the end of her visit, we drove my mom up to Riverside so she could stay with her BFF, Sherri, before heading back home. We had lots of fun hanging out a Sherri & Allen's beautiful home!

Keira was NOT into taking pictures that afternoon!!

Thanks for a fun visit, Grammy!
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
