Keira's First Birthday Party in CA

Keira's First Birthday in VA

Update

I have been a slacker when it comes to my blog. Sorry to my followers if I have any! Lol!

It is pretty much a fact I don't have a baby anymore. She has been walking for almost two months now. When I say walking, I mean walking. As in every where. She is also running now. She did the cute little baby waddle for all of a few minutes (and this is not much of a stretch!) She follows me around the house and plays hide and go seek in the bedrooms by opening and shutting doors. She doesn't use the door knobs of course but she shuts it just enough that she can get her chubby little fingers to pry it back open.

Our little girl is now 10 months old going on 11 months on the 6Th of Nov, that is when the 31 day count down begins for the big 1st Bday. She is amazing and changes everyday. She is wearing 12-18 month clothes already and pretty tall. Here is what she is up to these days:

Words: (The given) "Dada", believe it or not her first actual word is "Jinhki".

She likes:

- Mommy, total mommy's girl although lately she is getting attached to Daddy. When he comes home from work she runs up to him requesting to be picked up.

-Jinhki She is in love with her dogie Jinhki. She follows her all around the house and loves to pet her and give away her food and snacks to Jinhki. She has become very good at that.

-Dancing, she will stop or drop whatever she is up to when she hears music to dance. And when she stares up at the computer and demands a "Mmmmmm".....that means "Someone needs to play my favorite song, because I'm ready to dance."

-Strawberry apple puffs, sweet peas, oatmeal, and any kind of table food but she especially likes Macaroni & Cheese -She gets that from her Daddy :)

-Water, she loves water and taking baths

-She loves her playmates Uriel, Jocelyn, and Maite they are neighbors and every time they get together she lights up.

-Parties, she loves going to birthday parties and hanging out with her little friends. She is very social with other kids. Not so much with adults she will start backing up really quick when a unrecognized face approaches her.

Dislikes:

-Having her clothes changed

-Not being able to get what she wants herself- she is a very determined little girl

-being told "NO"

-not being able to walk Jinhki by herself she is very independent. She changes and learns new things every single day. She is such a joy! She lights up our house.

DJ.....where do I begin. He is also growing up too fast. They both need to slow down. DJ has been doing great in school and I will emphasize on the GREAT. He enjoys his teachers and loves hanging out with his friends. He is currently working on a school Book Project he is excited about. He says "I better get a good grade for all this hard work"

Back together again

DJ: DJ just started the 5th grade. He loves is new teacher and is thrilled that our neighbor from two doors down is in his class. We plan on keeping him busy this school year with activities outside of school. He will be playing football and possibly taking a break dancing class. He will be testing out the class to see if he like it next week so we shall see. DJ is getting much taller and it seems like he is growing right before our eyes.

Keira: She is taking steps now, about three to four at a time. She has mastered crawling and is all over the house. We also discovered that she can climb up stairs all on her own with no fear. Oh and how could we forget that she is now saying "DADA". I bet you can guess who is ecstatic about that. He is one proud Daddy right now. She is alot more social and loves to wave hello to strangers.

She trusts him...


Jihnki is such a girl, has to be the center of attention
She wanted no help, had to do it all by herself

Colorado Trip to Pop & Nana's

We took a trip to visit Pop & Nana out in Colorado Springs this month. My big brother Dj and I had a good time visiting our grandparents. I had a rocky time adjusting to new faces but slowly but surely I came around. We didn't do much site seeing but I did get to meet all Pop and Nana's friends and Family for the very first time. Pop & Nana spolied Dj and I as expected, I was welcomed with many many pretty little outfits all of which I am wearing in the pictures and my Big brother Dj got to pick some video games.

Hey, this looks like my doggie Jinkhi at home! Oh no my daddy told me it's Nana's dog Jetta.


They have another little dog everyone kept calling Kurry! She barked alot and loved to lick my face.

I teased everyone and pretended like I was going to start crawling but I wasn't quite ready yet.

Nana bought me this pretty pink Elephant and I was really excited.

Shopping with Nana at the Commisary. She let me hold her Military ID card.

Pop and I got to really bond

I enjoyed sitting with Pop and my big brother

My brother DJ says I'm really heavy!

My big brother DJ loved to take care of me.

My brother Dj wishd the Chocolate were real so he could drink it all up. Yummy!
