I took this picture of her today while she was crying because I didn't give her what she wanted. I just think it's so cute that she puts her hand on her mouth. She just has so many "girly" gestures and behaviors that she just does out of nowhere - maybe I'm just gender biased... It's just been so nice to have a little girl around, especially a girly girl. 
Since the last time we went bowling, the boys (especially Jonah) have been asking to go again. So, we ended up going bowling last Sunday. The boys had a blast and I'm sure we'll visit the bowling alley again.
Kira was enjoying some Cheerios. She walked around a bit, but I was so afraid that her little fingers would get smashed so I sort of limited her activity.
Here's a clip of Jonah and Jake bowling. Jonah did pretty good, thanks to the bumpers. Jake on the other hand kept getting splits, so it was difficult for him to get a spare. But overall, I think both of them did an excellent job.
From when he tells us, I think he had a blast at camp. He was homesick in the beginning and when he got the card I sent him on saturday, but other than that he did great. He's asked to go back already for the following year. He got a little bit weepy when I asked him about a little blue string that one of the camp counselor tied around their wrist on saturday for them to remember camp, he did have a good time.
I'm so proud of him and the type of kid he has become. It's really hard for me to "let-go" though I know I have to.
Jake is going to camp for the first time!! He is going to be at Camp Sealth (http://www.campfire-usa.org/camp/index.htm) until Sunday afternoon. He was really excited and looking forward to all the fun things he gets to do. Mike and I packed his suitcase with him last night and I dropped him off this morning at Fisherman's Terminal. I can't believe how independent and grown he has become. I held up pretty good until it was time for him to go onto the boat - then the flood gate opened big time. I was overwhelmed with all the emotions, I didn't expect to feel the way I felt, but cut me a break, he is my firstborn going away for 5 days for the first time. I stood there on the dock watching as the boat pulled away wondering how Jake's feeling. I'm sure he'll have lots of stories to share when he return on Sunday, and hopefully lots of wonderful summer memories for the years to come.
She's been walking more and more now, getting more confidence. Today when we were out at the shoe store, she wanted to walk by herself without my help! She's such a big girl now.Hope everyone enjoyed all the fireworks yesterday. I know that we certainly had fun. Unfortunately little Kira missed all the excitement, she went to bed at around 8:30 and she was out cold despite all the commotions and loud bangs. Maybe next year she'll stay up late enough to watch the pyromaniacs, that are her dad and her brothers, at work. I'm just glad that the weather cooperated and the thunder storm went away.
Have you heard of Kai-lan? Well, it's Kira's favorite show!!! Kai-lan is the Chinese version of Dora the Explorer. Kira almost always dance to the theme song whenever we put it on. I've been trying to tape it, but it seemed like every time I get the camera out, she'd stop dancing. This is the best I could do so far, I think it's funny how she shakes her hips in the biginning.
I thought this was a really cute clip of her giggling. I was trying to tape her walking, but I had a hard time to get her to do what I wanted, so I started tickling her - and this is what she did... I also thought it was funny that she pretended to be driving with the PS3 controller - like I said before, she's a MarioKart baby.
