New Year's Eve

Dec 31st

New Year's eve! We got to have the Lo's and Uyehara's over again to celebrate the new years!! It was so nice to have them over again and to be able to bring in the new year with them!! AND ALL of us kids made it to bring in the new year!!!  We were all tired but none of us had any major breakdowns! I had so much fun with everyone- dancing, playing and of course eating! =) Happy New Year!!!

Kiley's 4 months old!

Dec 30th

Kiley is 4 months old!!! She had her 4 month appt and was 13lbs 14 ounces and 23.5” tall! She’s such a big girl already! Mommy tried to compare her stats to mine but it was hard because I had my 4 month appt almost at 5 months! Kiley is doing really well. She’s pushing up onto her hands and elbows now and can do tummy time pretty well. She actually tolerates it well too and will stay there quite a long time. She can lift her head up much better and will look around. She also can sit pretty well in the bumbo and mommy and daddy just put her in the high chair. It’s fun to have her at the dinner table with me. She’s not rolling yet, but she does roll from back to side often. Mommy says she loves to watch me because I'm so animated and energetic. She does laugh at me a lot and I think it's so funny. She also seems to recognize people and things and she appears aware of her surroundings more. Kiley is cooing and laughing and ‘talking’ more!! Mommy thinks it's so cute but I just try and talk back to her in the same way! She smiles a lot more too so we all try and make her smile when we can. She seems to be a happy baby =), at least that's what my mommy says!

Christmas 2013

Dec 25th-26th

We celebrated Xmas at our place this year. It was another holiday without Papa, which made things sad, but it was nice to have the rest of the family together. We had a lot of food, as always and everything was delicious. It was Colton and Kiley's first Xmas and they got to open their first Xmas gifts and stockings. I got to help Bachan make my first gingerbread house and cut out Xmas cookies! I think I ate more sprinkles/candies than I put on the cookies and on the house! We all had a lot fun being together and making new memories.

Tahoe/ skiing

Dec 12-24th

We got to head to Tahoe!! I haven't been to the snow since last year and I was excited to go again! It was Kiley's first time in the snow and although she didnt get to actually play in it, she did get snow on her face ( by me accidentally!) and didn't like it at all! Uncle Dean, Auntie Nicole and Colton drove up to meet us up there too and it was so much fun to have them there!! It was Colton's first time in the snow as well! While we were up there it snowed ALOT so we had plenty of snow to play in! We did a lot of things while we were at Northstar! We got to see Santa Claus, make snowmen, go sledding and I got to get in skis for the first time!! I had fun doing all of it and my mommy and daddy said I did really well on my skis! Uncle Dean was there too, to help me down the hill!! It took me a few runs and a nice nap before I actually started to enjoy myself, but by the end of the day I had a lot of fun! We also went to Circus Circus one day and I got to play a lot of games! I collected a lot of tickets and won a bunch of animals and toys! It was a fun trip and I'm looking forward to coming back!
