Big Girl Kira!

After receiving many requests for an update, I finally found time to log on and post new pics and updates about BIG GIRL Kira!

First of all, Kira is now 15 and a half months. She began walking and running at around 13 months and Bubby bought her a pair of sneakers and a pair of dress shoes! She usually wears the sneakers because she is so active.

Her most recent doctor appointment revealed:

Height: 30 inches (25%)
Weight: 19 lbs 5 ounces (5-10%)
Head: I don't really pay attention to the head measurements anymore, but I know it's all normal.

In addition, Kira has been having some fun adventures with her many friends. She has had many fun play dates with Sophie, including a fun trip to Weber's Farm where the girls had fun playing with animals and looking at the pumpkins. Kira now has a big pumpkin, 2 mini pumpkins and a few silly-looking gourds.


Kira's vocabulary has also been expanding. She has so much to say, and imitates gestures, too (this means mommy and daddy have to be MUCH more careful around her-- we have been whispering and spelling a lot).

Words Kira can now say:
dog, moo (and other animal sounds), more, daddy, mama/mommy, drink, up, eat (deet!), zayde, bubby, yogurt, banana, no, yes, ball, wheee, uh-oh, baby (one of her favorites), cheese, tree, treat, football (daddy's so proud)...

and the list goes on!

Kira loves to dance and sing, too. Her favorite shows are Dora and Clifford.

We entered Kira in the yo-baby contest but she didn't win (most of the finalists were not even that cute! come ON!) This was the pic we entered:


She was saying "rarrr!" because we asked her what a lion says.








Kira also had a great time with her cousins Bari and Hailey, on Sukkot. On a Sunday, the whole family went to Aunt Lori and Uncle Eddie's for brunch. Here are some photos.



















Kira has also been spending a lot of time with her beau Kivi. They hang out at bbqs, on shabbos, and play at each other's houses. Here is a picture from a few months ago, when Kira would tackle Kivi to the ground! (she's quite aggressive. She knows what she wants, and she will go and get it!)


Ok, hopefully I will be posting more often. That is the latest on Kira!!!
