8 Months!

Kyra is officially 8 months old today!!! She is still working on the tooth without much progress. In honor of her "birthday" we had cheesecake (well, her dad and I did) and she got turkey with vegetables! Hopefully getting a little extra protein in her belly will help her sleep better tonight than she did before last night! She didn't finally settle down to sleeping until about midnight I think and then she was up again once and only slept until nine this morning, which meant she missed most of her first nap today and really couldn't do without it! She wasn't too cranky though, all things considered. Poor little thing, hopefully we'll all get some better rest tonight!

A TOOTH!!!

Kyra officially is getting her first tooth! The left, lower front tooth is working on coming through finally. You can't really see it, although when she screams, you can see the little hole in her gums. And if you run your finger over the spot you can feel the little rough edges! Now I just wonder how long it will take her to get it in all the way?

All Wore Out!

We went to the zoo today with Kyra's Grandma, Papa, Auntie, Uncle and Cousin who are in town from Wisconsin. She had a wonderful time! She was a good girl pretty much the whole time we were there. She really liked the sea lions, otters and leopard this time. Oh, and of course the warty pigs, which are always her favorite! It was much easier to get her to notice the animals this time since she's starting to figure out to look where we point instead of just looking at our hand. She was very upset though when she saw the piggies in the gift shop and Phil wouldn't let her grab one because she was just sure that was HER piggie sitting there!

Swimming!!!

So Kyra's Grandma, Papa, uncle, aunt and cousin are visiting from Wisconsin this week! Yesterday she saw them for a little while here before going down for her nap and then showed off a bunch of her tricks when we took dinner over to their hotel. Today, we all took the MAX downtown to Saturday Market and Kyra had LOTS of fun. She saw some dogs, a parrot and lots of interesting people. She played peek-a-boo around her mei tai with Papa on the train for a long time. Then this evening we went for dinner at the thai restaurant and she chewed on some of my broccoli spears while every one ate before going back to the hotel where she had her dinner and then she swam in the big pool! She had lots of fun and she finally figured out how to splash. She loved it when Papa or Dad would duck under the water and then pop back up. It was like peek-a-boo, only better!

Red Robin

Today was our fourth anniversary and Phil had a thing for his "birthday burger" from Red Robin so we went there this evening for dinner. Kyra did so good! She played in Phil's lap with her toys (and his menu) while we were waiting for the food and then she sat in her highchair with almost no fussing while we all ate! She does a lot better now that she gets to eat too. :) She had a whole jar of sweet potatoes, some ice cubes and some of my water. Then we went to the park to play with Tristan! We were GOING to go bowling but we forgot that there are usually leagues on thursday. She had fun at the park though! She liked the swing with me and Dad took her down the slide!
