Kyri's Birthday Party

My little Kyri!

So I have been wanting to do a post on Kyri ever since her birthday and have been a slacker. So I am going to do it now. Our little Kyri was born May 22, 2008 at 4:35 a.m. in American Fork Hospital weighing in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches. A year later my little chubba wubba now weighs in at 27 lbs. The average weight of a 2 year old (says Dr. Mumford) and she is 29 1/2 inches. At her 1 year appointment the Dr. said that we didn't need to worry about feeding her vitamin d milk. That we could give her 1 or 2 % or even skim seeing as she already weighs 27 lbs. :) But he is very happy about the way she looks. So am I. I love all of her chub. It's the best. There's nothing like a handful of baby chub! She is so fun these days. She is obsessed with buppies (puppies). She calls everything buppy. If you ask her what the puppy says she "huffs" a couple of times. And sometimes she will pant. She also says mama/mommy, dada/daddy, juice, please, gosh, baby, cracker, cookie, bye bye, kiss, chicken, hot dog and starting on Sunday she started to say bubbles. She is such a little smarty pants. She picks up on things so fast. She loves it when there are other little babies around. I would have to say her best friends right now are Mylie and Zach. She gets excited when they come around. Although she is kind of a bully to them even though they are older than her. She's still the biggest and she knows it. It's her way of showing them how much she loves them I guess. The only kids she hasn't bullied is Attalyn and Ben. They both kinda bullied her. But it's good because she gets to know what if feels like. She loves to dance. It's almost like she can't help herself. Once she hears music she automatically stops what she is doing to sway her bum back and forth with one arm raised in the air or she will bounce and clap her hands. Even if she is sitting. She finds a way to show she is dancing. Her favorite thing to dance to is the song that plays at the starting of the ellen show. She gets so excited when she hears that song. It's probably the highlight of her day. It is definately mine. I love to see how happy she gets over such a little thing. She also loves Handy Manny and pretty much any of the other shows that are on the Disney channel in the mornings. But Manny is by far her fav. It's pretty sad when I end up going to bed singing the songs from Playhouse Disney in my head. :) She is such a good baby. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Well that is my 1 year old for you. We love her so much.
Here are some pictures of her journey so far.

Our Exciting Month of May!!

So we had alot of stuff going on in the month of May. First I got to have a fun day with my girls. Jill was in town and we all wanted to get together before she left again. So me and Kyri, Lacy and her kids, Carrie and her kids, and Jill and her pregnant belly all decided to have a picnic at a park up by Carries house. It was alot of fun. I'm so glad that after so many years of not working together we can all still get together and hang out. No matter how much our lives are changing. Thanks girls for being such good friends. I hope we can be friends for many many many more years. Second, our Jamez got married. We are so happy for him that he found Melissa and that when things started getting serious she decided to stick around and not go on a mission and not tell him that when they kiss it is like kissing a brother. (Poor James) We are happy she is part of the family now. Congrats to them. So because of the wedding we had alot of Brandons family in town. First off Chad, Katie, Mallory, and Benjamin came. We were so excited that they finally got to come for a visit. We hadn't seen them in 6 months. So sad. But we had alot of fun while they were here and Kyri loved playing with her cousins that she has only met 3 times now. We were so so so sad to have to say goodbye to them. Hopefully it won't be another 6 months before we see them again. Nana and Papa Don came and also Grandfather and Abuelita. We hadn't seen any of them in a really long time either so it was exciting to get to see all of them and also for them to get to see Kyri. Also this month Kyri turned 1. I can't even believe it has been a whole year. The time flies by so so fast. She is getting so big and learning new things everyday. I swear she woke up one day saying like 6 different words. She is a little smarty pants. Well this post is getting kinda long and I still want to post some pictures so I will stop typing. Enjoy all the pictures.

Here are all the kids. So cute.
