Kira at her friend Karina's celebration of birth dinner

Kira took over the camera at the dinner...

She took this photo of her friend Natasha and her Mom Georgina

Cheeeeeeeeese!

At the park where we we supposed to be watching her cousin Ben play soccer. Somehow she managed to find the playground on the opposite side of 4 fields....guess those glasses are working well.

Kira has been doing well lately, her vocabulary continues to expand - she sure loves to talk! She now kisses my belly good night and says night night baby, but I'm still not sure if she really understands that there will be a baby invading her life soon. Oh well, she'll figure it out quickly when the baby arrives. We are doing well too, I'm very excited to be moving into our new house in less than 2 weeks, it will be lovely to have our own place with our own yard! Jon is excited to be getting his dream barbeque, ha.

Tomorrow we will be going to a baby shower for Kira's newest cousin, Sophia Janine LaBonte (great name huh?). My brother and his wife welcomed a little girl into the world on September 4. She is absolutely adorable, but it is still hard to believe that my little brother is a Daddy now...makes me feel old.

Here are some pictures from Kira's park trip yesterday...

Building a fort with all the sticks on the ground

One of my all-time fave pictures, this is from the summer. Kira loves taking her bear with her to the park.

The last couple of weeks have kept us busy with lots of birthday parties. Kira went to a little farm/petting zoo last week and had a great time feeding the ducks and bunnies, of course, I forgot the camera. This weekend we have her Uncle Mike and Jeffy's birthday's (and with any luck, her new cousin will arrive this weekend too!). With all the birthday parties in August, Kira has grown a slight obsession for birthday cake. She loves drawing it, saying it, and staring at it, but she still won't eat it. Perhaps she will enjoy the ice cream cake this weekend...

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...

Putting air in her bike tires

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.
