Kira's Photobooth Pictures

Jon taught Kira how to use the Photobooth application on my macbook, she LOVES taking pictures of herself, mainly because she loves looking at herself. Here are some of her pictures...

We have really enjoyed being home with Kira for the last couple of weeks, especially getting her potty trained. Next week she is back at daycare again and we are back at work full time. Only 6 more weeks until we move into our new place, I can't wait. Jon may be more excited than me though, he finally gets to purchase the BBQ of his dreams...

This week Kira and I were at home together, daycare is closed and Jon was busy at work. I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and attempted to potty train her (again). I'm so happy and proud of her, she caught on within a day or so and is now doing most of her business on the toilet all the time. We are still working on 'parts' of the training, but we have decided that the diapers are gone for good. She is so excited every time she goes, she yells "Yay! I did it!" and enjoys flushing the toilet (she even waves bye bye to her pee pee).

Here are some pictures of other things that we got up to this week...

Since we don't have a yard right now, this is our version of a wading pool, Kira had a lot of fun and got drenched. The plants got plenty of water too.

Mount Tupperware - she actually built most of this herself

The mountain fell down...

Here's what we've been up to the last couple of weeks...

Playing superhero in the side-yard (she saved Bear, lucky Bear)

Oh, and we bought a house too!! Finally! We move in at the end of September, I can't wait. I will post some pictures later on. Baby KJ seems to be doing well, I'm being kicked constantly, so I guess that's a good thing...here is the only freaking belly picture that I have (happy Maya, Wendy??) I had to interrupt Jon's video game playing to get it, so this is the best you get. :)

I'm 22 weeks along now, and for the record, MUCH larger than I was with Kira. I'm still hoping for a small baby though...wishful thinking I fear.

Baby KJ! (Formerly known as 2.0)

Here is the first pictures of baby KJ! We had the ultrasound today, seems that things are progressing well (yay!) so we are now just waiting for him/her to make their appearance on or around December 7, 2010. KJ was plenty active during the scan and kept its hands up near the mouth for nearly the entire time. The feet are moving constantly, kicking every direction -- oh goody, just like Kira was :P

I was going to find out the gender of KJ, but Jon didn't want to know, and since I have a big mouth, I decided not to find out either. Personally, I think that it's a girl, but I have nothing to back that up with. We'll find out soon enough!

Apologies, I'm a tech idiot and I don't know how to change the direction of the picture...

Bear at the Park

Here is a video of Bear at the park with Kira. She decided that he wanted to go down the slide with her...

I've been trying to upload the video of Kira changing bear's diaper, but it's been taking upwards of 3 hours and nothing happens, so maybe I'll try again this week.

Kira + the Bear

This weekend Kira made a new best friend, her teddy bear. Her Auntie May and Uncle Simon got her this bear from FAO Schwartz in NYC and it has all of a sudden become her favourite companion. He went everywhere with her this weekend, including to dinner with us on Sunday night. She changes his diaper, dresses it, and takes it for car rides. At night she sleeps with him too. It's pretty cute. Jon will try to get a video of Kira changing bears diaper tomorrow morning.

(notice how Kira's hair is in a ponytail, we finally succeeded this weekend in getting it up!)

At the playground with Daddy

Long weekend

Happy Canada Day long weekend everyone! We stayed home this weekend and due to the lingering colds, we didn't partake in any organized Canada day celebrations (save a bbq at a friends place). It's been nice to have Jon around this weekend, I've done a lot of resting and fully maxed out the pregnancy card. Kira has enjoyed having her Daddy around and has been quite attached to him most of the weekend.

Here are a couple of pictures that Jon took of Kira at the park today...

Hugging a tree, she likes to do this to lamp posts too. I have no idea where she gets it from

Walking down the stairs at the playground

Surprise, Kira is distracted by something else ---- she's so nosy!
