Feed Myself


It's that 9-month old thing - they want to feed themselves. Kyra just started refusing to be fed, she's happy feeding herself, and NO help! Some soy yogurt, tofu and split pea soup. Yummy!

Wrestling time...

Friday is family game night at our home. Nothing better than sitting in front of the fire, drinking tea and playing board games. But this time, game night started with a major wrestling session with Curt, Matthew and Kyra. Looks like Kyra is queen of the mountain.










All that wrestling made Kyra a little hungry. She's checking out what's in the fridge.

Helping dad bring in wood for the fire...




What a big help Kyra is!

4 x 4 crawling


When things block her way, why bother going around them, when you can crawl over them!

Bath Time!

Mom...I want to get in the bath with Matthew!




The long awaited sharing bathtime. Kyra loves baths, and especially when she can play with her big brother!

Some Holiday Fun








We took the family to see the broadway show The Lion King. Then a couple days later went to a tree lighting at the Davenport.

Getting into things....and 9-month check-up




Kyra's been mobile since about 5 months - rolling where she needed to go. Then the army crawl. At 9 months it's a fast army-ish crawl. She's on her knees but still using forearms instead of hands. And she's pulling herself up on her knees or to standing. Here's some fun pictures of her getting into Matthew's train set. She's sooooooo proud of herself.

At the 9-month checkup the other day - it's official, she is petite. Weighing in at 15 pounds 6 oz it puts her under the 5th percentile for weight. But she's 30th percetile for height. So, maybe she'll be long and lean. If so, she'll appreciate that as an adult.

Friday Family Game Night Fun!


Our family looks forward to dring hot cocco and playing board games of friday nights. And of course, making faces at the camera!



Denali find it exhausting.



Who are those weirdos?


Major Bed Head!



It's safe to say that Matthew is the bed head master of the world. He looks like a peacock!

Two cutest kids in the world...



Aren't they cute!

Exploring




One lazy morning we took pictures of Kyra's explorations - pulling off the grate on the frige, checking out toys in the living room. So much to explore, so little time..

Halloween Haunting






The troop are about to go get lots of candy. As Matthew would say, "I really love candy!"
