Settling in...

We have unpacked the last of the boxes now and are feeling much more at home now. Today we ordered the last piece of the puzzle, our dinette set. I am so excited to finally be able to have a table with chairs in my house. It's sad that we have never had enough room in our condo's before. The table we ordered seats 6, but has a built-in leaf that will extend the table to 8, so there is enough room for us to host Thanksgiving dinner this year! Hooray! My mom is going to come over and (hopefully) let me help her cook. I think that she is excited to have 2 ovens to use.

Kira is doing very well in the new house, she has found lots of places that she can play in and around. She is growing and adding more words to her vocabulary. New additions include oh dear, no, papa, poo-poo (ha!) and ta-da. This evening she also began to attempt singing her abc's. The only way I knew this was because she was trying to sing along with me and then finished by saying "yay" like I do. It was pretty darn cute. I'll try to grab a video of it one day, but have to do it when I'm not singing, cause no one needs to hear that!

She hasn't gotten any new teeth yet, she still has the 12. I thought that she was getting her canine teeth last week, but it turns out she was only getting a cold. Poor little thing. There were a couple of sleepless nights, but she seems to have kicked the worst of it now.

Kira is back at her gymnastics on Saturday mornings again, she really does love it. This week she figured out how to jump up on her own, she does this a lot during the day - especially when she is walking from one side of the house to the other. And she has discovered her love of dancing, unfortunately, she has inherited her mom's sense of rhythm...none. Hopefully she'll improve on that as she gets older.

Here are some pictures of Kira...

Testing out Daddy's computer

Singing at the gate...

Dragging Daddy's PS3 box around the house. She pretends that it's her bag, she takes it to the front door, and then back to the TV room. I wonder where she gets her ideas...

Nap time with Daddy. She is sleeping next to her bed, on the floor. She was playing with the books, then just fell asleep. So cute.
