Happy belated Thanksgiving! Hope that everyone had a great long weekend. We were able to host our first Thanksgiving dinner this year since we finally got our first dining set! It still seems odd that after all these years, we never had a proper table and chairs to eat at. Anyhow, we had my Mom, Step-Dad, Step-Brother, Brother, and 2 sisters in law over for dinner, Kira had a blast with all the company, obviously they were all here to see her only! Here's a photo of Uncle Jeffy playing with Kira at her little table...

Way to drink your wine while colouring...

Kira has been doing very well, she is still battling a cough and runny nose, she has been for about a month now. Poor little thing. Doesn't seem to be bothering her though. She will usually fall right back to sleep at night if she wakes up with a coughing fit.

She has started to mimic our every move now too, and while she can't always say what she wants, she has gotten very good at telling us what she wants. While I was away last week, Jon was trying to get Kira off the bottle, so he was giving her milk in a sippy cup - she did not like that one bit. She kept pushing the sippy cup away with an aggressive head shake, then she'd get up and march to the sink (where the bottles were drying) and point to the bottles! This continued all week, she actually didn't have any milk at home all week because Jon refused to give her a bottle and she refused to take anything but a bottle. Of course, I gave her the bottle when I got home on Saturday. I'm so weak. She's added a couple more words now too, including meow, hello ("o"), and good bye.

Here are a couple more pictures of Kira. Jon found my camera, so I'll start taking some videos of Kira again and get them up so you can see her saying please (peez).
