More cute pics

Hangin' out in my super cute overalls from Grandma and Grandpa Mills.

Caught on Video

 

I officially started babbling on Valentine's Day, but mom and dad couldn't catch it on film until today. They have been waiting and waiting for me to "talk". I wonder if they ever wish I was still the quiet baby they used to have?

I love to "read" books. We do story time every night before bed and a bunch of times during the day. I've started pulling the books off the shelf by myself and even look through them by myself! I especially love my big picture books.

Naked Baby

I escaped from mom after a bath and diaper change to climb the stairs. Mom couldn't help herself from taking some naked baby pictures!

Stairs!

The stairs might be my favorite place in the house. I am finally learning to go down backwards, but still need some careful spotting! I am also standing without holding onto anything more and more. Mom and Dad are worried because I am trying to get myself to standing without pulling up and that means I might walk soon. Scary!!!

Happy Chinese New Year (Oh, yeah, and Valentine's Day)

Grandma Harris got me a super cute Chinese New Year outfit from San Fransisco. The Chinese New Year happened to be on Valentine's day this year, so we ordered Chinese food, I dressed up for the occasion, and we had fun. Oh, yeah, and I finally have enough hair to hold a bow clip in place! Yippie!

Play date with Cousin Eli

Eli and his parents came over for a play date. We all had lunch together and then Eli and I played together in the family room for a long time. Eli did his first few stairs that day!

Who needs "baby" toys?

Mom caught me trying to re-arrange some dishes in the "safe for baby" (a.k.a. no knives or chemicals) cabinet. My main goal was to move things enough that I so I have room to move around comfortably and reach everything! The dangling cord was my doing, which prompted mom to re-arrange the whole darn kitchen so I get into less trouble!

Kira's first Tutu

I went to the Children's Museum today with my big friend Mia and our Mom's. We had a good time playing in all the different areas. Here we are playing on the dance floor. Mia picked our Tutus. Mine was big, but soooo cute!

Rocking the Faux Hawk!

More time in the Bath!

I can't get enough of bath-time, though sometimes I'm tired of Mommy and Daddy taking pictures while I try to play!

Uncle Dan!

Uncle Dan stayed an extra week or so to hang out with everyone. I think he was scared at first, but he got the hang of hanging out with us babies!

Me and Grandma and Grandpa Mills

I had such a good visit with Grandma and Grandpa Mills! They only stayed 8 days, but we had a great time. This is their last evening with us. I am getting in as much grandparent time as possible!

New Year's Eve!

I went to dinner at the Saucy Noodle with Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Mills, Uncle Dan, Uncle Drew, Aunt Kerri, and Cousin Eli for New Year's Eve. Eli and I had fun in our high chairs. Dad beat Grandma at Scrabble for the first time. This is a picture of the game board. He's pretty proud!

Third Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Mills

We got to open even more presents when Grandma and Grandpa Mills and Uncle Dan came to town right after Christmas. Eli and I had fun with the paper and then played with Grandma.

Playing with cousin Eli

We got dressed up in our Christmas outfits from Grandma and Grandpa Mills and played in the basement with my toys and my new walker wagon. I think Eli liked going for a ride!
