Kira's perspective

Since moving to Williamsburg I've been able to spend lots of time with my nephew Benson and already we are good buddies. One of the funniest things I've seen him do is his: he'll often stand in front of my bedroom door calling "Kir-Kir," just waiting for a chance, any opportunity to race inside with the opening of the door. He then proceeds to run to my bed, quickly climbing onto it then helping himself into the covers. He's even been known to grab some of my magazines to look through as he relaxes in bed, my bed that is! The little guy will be happy to find that soon enough, after he graduates from crib life, the bed will be all his.

Benson's words and family update

Thank you welcome--is all one phrase.
Bye Bye see ya- even if he is just walking in the next room.
I see you--He still likes peek-a-boo
Ball, car, keys, color, paper.
Toast, snacks, juuuice, pizza, candy, bites (when he is hungry)
Bath- whenever the bathroom door is open
Lamb- much to my dismay.
Mommy
Daddy
Kira
hug
amen--while we are still praying and he wants to finish to start eating
outside
shoes
head,nose, ear, mouth, eye, belly, toes, hands
read book- when he is avoiding bed time.
call-whenever he sees a phone
dog, cat, bird, cow
back- when we are putting things away
love you---when we ask a lot
jacket, coat,socks
show-when he wants the tv on
bubbles
song-when he points to the ipod and wants us to turn it on to dance.



My sister-in-law, Kira, moved to the East and is staying with us for awhile. Benson loves it! All day while she is at work, he goes to her room and says Kira working. Then every morning when he gets up he goes to her door and says Kira waking her very early. He loves to play hide and seek around the couch with her and he loves going to the park with her.

Our cover is blown...

We mainly started this blog so that we could keep our families posted on life. (For almost six months after I first created it, most of my family hadn't even seen Benson yet.) Thus, it seemed like kind of a mutual arrangement when we abandoned it, since neither of our families are particularly tech savvy, and we're really too busy to update it. That said, if you're reading this, you must be one of our friends who blogs like crazy and kept wanting to see ours. Ta da! Sorry to disappoint... :)

Movie at Hill Cumorah visitor center

We're awful at keeping this updated, but I will say that it's convenient for posting videos that are too big to send via email. This one's from this last Monday.

Unfortunately, I took the video sideways on the camera, and now I can't find a way to rotate it on the computer. I just you'll just have to get taco neck!

Throw it down, son, throw it down!
