Well, Aunt Kara is a dolt and totally lost the information for this account. So now here's a really LONG overdue update.
I'm 16 months old now. I've grown up very fast in Aunt Kara's opinion. I love to tease her by calling her Johnna (really it's just that I can't say Kara yet). I'm working very hard on learning to walk. It's been lots of fun.
I'm including some new pictures in this post. The last ones are just from yesterday when Uncle Bobby and Aunt Helen came to visit Aunt Johnna. I was a little scared of Uncle Bobby's beard, so I was a bit wary of the camera all day... :( But the pictures of me and Aunt Kara show us playing one of my favorite games with Daddy. Here's out it works. Daddy throws a cloth at my face... I laugh and try to throw it back (but I'm not very strong or coordinated yet) and then Aunt Kara ACTUALLY throws it back to Daddy... and the game continues...
After that we have a couple of family photos... I don't know why Mommy's not smiling... hmm... Also, Aunt Johnna is sick right now... She can't play with me and I can't sit on her lap. It is VERY frustrating and I do NOT like it one little bit...
Well, I went to my first overnight at Grandpa's and Grammy's last weekend. It was busy. Aunt Jo had a party on Sunday and there were lots of pictures taken and even some video! Unfortuntately, Aunt Jo and Aunt Kara are having problems getting the pictures to transfer from one computer to another, so I can only upload one picture now. But it's of me and grandpa and it's really cute :)
well... it finally happened! i arrived. there was a bit of drama surrounding my birth, but i don't think it could have been any other way... after all, i am my parent's daughter. these are some pictures from my first days here on earth. i'm still in the NICU in these photos cause i caught a bug from mommy and they're giving me medicine. but it's nice and warm here and all the nurses and doctors are so nice. and they let mommy and daddy and nana and grandpa and grandma and aunt jo and aunt kara come see me whenever they want, so that's good. they even let daddy come up here and sleep beside me one night. that was nice. you'll notice that a lot of these first pictures are of me and daddy. there's two reasons for that. aunt kara was photo-happy, but really it's just cause daddy doesn't like to share me too much... even with mommy... i think it's funny.
The first picture of me :) Grandpa's been up for awhile hum... all the pictures of me and daddy are sideways... that should tell you something about him :)
here are some that are the right way :) my first pictures of me and mommy
my first family photo! my first pictures with aunt kara!
Hello, my name is Ciera Nikole and I was born on Monday, December 4th, 2006. There was a bit of drama surrounding my birth. After a very long labor they had to use forceps to help mommy out and then I had a bunch of uckie stuff in my lungs and throat so I decided not to breath. But the wonderful people at the NICU helped out really well. Now I'm just waiting for the bug to go away and I get to go home with Mommy and Daddy! Yeah!
