Moving to California

So its official now.   We are moving to california next week. Sione gave his two week notice and we are on our way to a new adventure.  Sione is working on getting into a Police Department down in either ontario, newport or chino.  So we are hoping that works out for us, hoping at least that part of our plan will go smoothly. 

I am very excited that I will be closer to family and be able to have Kira closer to her cousins.

Kira playing

here are few pics of Kira playing around at the house!
We put her in her uncle's rain boots and she thought it was pretty funny!
and Then I thought I would let her play with some snow, in a bowl.. She didn't like it too much, it was too cold! What a California Girl!

Kira is 9 months

This is Kira feeling her teeth 
Being a big girl sitting up on the couch!

Falling over on the couch!
Kira had her 9 month check up today, she is a healthy little girl but her Iron was a little low so we have to go get a more official test done at the lab in the hospital.  That should be fun!! :(

So Kira is 18 lbs some odd ounces.  28 and some odd inches.  and 44.5 head circum. So she is doing well. Now that she has been a crawling machine she has lost some weight but she is still in the average range which is great! 

So on the 25th of September 2008 Kira's first two bottom teeth started to show through. They are slowly coming through, and I think they are pretty much above the gums but not by too much.  It very cute because she keeps touching her teeth with her tongue, so I caught her on the camera one day.  

Also lately Sione and I have been trying to teach Kira how to stand.. She has been doing it by herself lately trying to practice her balance. She gets up standing with help of the couch then she will let go of the couch then crouch down and pop back up.  So today Sione was holding her facing me and as he let go then she stood there for one sec and then took her first step all by herself.. then fell down. and She did that twice. It was very exciting.  When someone is holding her from behind she is more willing stand up longer because she doesnt know when they are going to let go.  It is very cute.  

Enjoying the grass and cutie in purple

here are some pics of when i was trying to take some "professional" pics of kira.. She wouldnt smile but they are cute with the leafs around her.. and Then there are some of Kira in her purple dress with her purple bow!

Kira and the Horses

kira met horses for the first time and my brothers dog.  she didnt like it at first but warmed up to them a little bit..

1st Beach trip September 14th, 2008

Im just going to post some pics, of the beach and Kira.. that is the swim suit my sister in law let me use because kira's was too small. 

Ca, September 2008

Here are a few pics from our trip to california.  Kira and I were able to go to the beach with some family for Heather's birthday.. It was tons of fun, Kira had a good time.. She did really well for the 1st time.  Sione had to go back to anchorage that day we went to the beach but he came back the next day to spend more time with my family.. It was great to be there! We were there for a week! Kira loves playing with her cousins and loves being in warm  California.

I loved a lot of pictures i took so they are going to be quite a few with this post.. Sorry!
