In the last couple of weeks, Kira has begun "talking"... well, saying words. So far she's said/we've heard "byebye dadda", "shoes", "football", "bubbles" and "mooo". Problem is we can't get her to say all of them repeatedly, and they usually come after you say the words and she's mimicking you. We'll see how her words progress over the coming weeks, and when she starts speaking Spanish!

Thankgiving 2010
It was a hectic Thanksgiving day, but all worked out well in the end. Aunt Michelle went into labor with the twins Wednesday night (at 31 weeks along) and dilated to 5 cm. But then, by some Thanksgiving miracle, the contractions subsided and she was able to keep those babies cooking! However, she is in the hospital now until she gives birth. They are hoping she lasts until 34 weeks. Here are some pics from the day: A hospital visit and fun with cousin Sammy at Nana & Grandpa's!

Quote of the Day
So, I get the mail and there is a National Wildlife magazine. Cole and I sit down and start looking at the pictures and when we get to one page there is a picture of a huge manatee. I said, "Cole, do you know what that is?" and he said "No, what is it?" and I said, "Don't you remember this big fish from one of your books - it's a manatee." And he looks at me and says, "But a manatee isn't actually a fish." And he's right...it's a mammal. Schooled by my 3-year-old. Nice!

The story behind my eyes
So this weekend I go into Cole's room to get him up for the day and he says to me, "Mama! I had a story behind my eyes and it was about me and you!" I said, "Oh, that's called a dream. Tell me more about it." And he said, "You are I were walking and we saw a cave and we went into it! (Exclamation points necessary because he was VERY excited to tell me this story) And it was really dark but we had a flashlight so we turned it on. And then we could see."
At this point I think he could not remember any more of the dream because he paused when I asked him what else and it seemed that he was making up the rest of the story...in which he turned into a dragon and hit the monsters away with his big tail...yes, monsters, dragons and anything "spooky" are his new things since Halloween.

Trick or Treating
Cole (the triceratops) and Kira (the bee) went out trick or treating with neighbor Jake (Batman) and had a blast. Kira loved walking around at night and caught on quickly! At one point she pitched a fit when she was running behind and someone almost closed their door without giving her any candy! Cole was done before we hit every house in the neighborhood because he just wanted to "go home and eat some candy!"
