New News for the New Year

Well, I was doing lots of web-surfing this past week, just killing time over the holidays, when I came across this website:

Needless to say, Mom and Dad had some explaining to do.

I'm so excited about getting to be a big sister!!! (That's for the first baby.)

And I couldn't be prouder knowing that my new siblings are smart enough to figure out the wireless internet connection in the womb and find the Blackberry I left behind.

Christmas 2009

This Christmas season was full of adventure! Hey...call Santa. It looks like one of his elves must have escaped!
I got to participate in my first ever church Christmas program! My friends in the nursery and I stood up front and sang Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star. I practiced for WEEKS leading up to the big event. The only words in the song that I could say were "UP" and "HI(gh)", but boy did I look adorable!
Mom, Dad, Zoli, and I hopped in the car and went to Kentucky to visit family for Christmas. What a beautiful Christmas tree!
I couldn't quite get into wrapping paper, but I loved gift bags! And guess what? There were presents for me inside them!!!
Gram showed me how to get the most out of this toy! How fun!
Books! I love to read!
A piano that's just my size!
A puzzle with my name on it. How special! You can't get a "Kaira" puzzle just anywhere.
The best part of Christmas was spending time with family. Here's me chilling on the couch with Daddy and my cousins:
Mom wasn't the only one camera happy. Here's Clara testing out the features of her new digital camera:
I sure do love my cousin Maggie!
Aunts are the best for some cuddle-time!
And I think my Pops is pretty fond of me, too.
Oops! He caught me under the mistletoe!
While relaxing at Gram and Pops' house one day, I discovered some brain teasers to pass the time and exercise my frontal lobe!
Hmmm....these things are harder than they look.
Hooray! I figured it out!
I knew that clementines were delicious to eat. But, one day on our trip Gram helped me to discover what fun it is to play catch with one.
Ok, Gram. I'm ready...
Here it comes...
I got it!
Hooray for Kaira!
Did I mention how exciting this is?!?!
Our trip to Kentucky was wonderful and the holiday season was full of blessings! Here we all are, happy as can be! What a good looking Rawert family!!

Snow Day!

This past week we got a beautiful snowfall and Mommy took the day off to play with me!

Come on, Mom. Let's make a snow angel!
Snowflakes taste weird.
Hmmm...how do I get myself out of this mess?
Ah! I think I got a snowflake in my eye!
What a wonderful winter wonderland!! Hooray for snow!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving break was a wonderful time to connect with friends and family members.

Stop #1: Amherst, Massachusetts.
We headed out Wednesday morning to meet up with "Uncle Scott" in Amherst. After a fancy meal at McDonalds, we headed to the mall to loiter around.
I discovered this amazing little hotdog stand in the mall. I think I've found my calling.
Me giving my sales pitch to some potential customers:
One hot dog with extra relish coming right up!
Stop #2: Lowell, MA
After our visit with Scott, we headed on to Lowell, MA to visit some friends from Ghana: Patience, Selase, and their daughter Eyiakimeh. I just knew that Eyiakimeh and I were ghana become great friends!! HAHA!! Here she is showing me how to get a square peg to fit into a round hole:
Now it's my turn!
We went for a little walk along the Merrimack River. See the falls in the background?During the walk, we encountered a number of pigeons. Bert sure does love pigeons! What a blessed time we had with such good friends!
Stop #3: Manchester, NH
On Thursday, we headed up to NH to visit with my Uncle Mike. This was my first out-of-the-womb visit to New Hampshire. Uncle Mike sure cooks up a mean turkey dinner! YUM!!It was also the first time I got to meet Buddy, Uncle Mike's dog! We became good pals after I snuck him some turkey and mashed potatoes under the table.
Sit, Buddy!
Good puppy!!
Grammie and Grandpa came up to NH, too. Grandpa and I had some good bonding time playing together.
Um...this is a lot harder when Grandpa isn't helping me!
Time to read a book!
When it was time to go, we packed up our stuff and headed back to NY. Thanks for spending Thanksgiving with us, Mike!Stop #4: Back home in NY.
The friends, fun, and feasting didn't end there. On Friday night, "Uncle Scott" came over from Massachusetts to our house in NY. While he was in town, we took him to my favorite restaurant, Chipotle. Believe it or not, I can down an entire soft taco there, complete with spicy chicken, black beans, rice, sour cream, and cheese! The restaurant management is quite impressed and is trying to figure out some way to use me in their marketing. How thankful I am for my amazing family, wonderful friends, and tasty food! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
