Much has happened since my last post. Well, Elia keeps growing so fast. She had her 9 month check up last month and is in 35% for weight and 75% for height. Elia continues to surprise me with the new things she learns or manages to climb onto. She loves to mimic people, she waves hi and bye and at times will say it, she likes to pull the covers over her head and play donde-esta-bebe (peek-a-boo), she started to crawl around 8 1/2 months and is now unstoppable and she talks so much that Noelani (her cousin) and her like to take the phones away from us moms (my sister and me) so they can talk to each other.
We spent Thanksgiving out in Utah. I flew out a couple day's early to be able to spend more time with my family because we decided to leave a day early from Utah to make it to our nieces baby blessing in Vegas. I love the Holiday's and being able to spend time with family. Most of all I loved observing the two primas together. Lani and Elia became best friends by the 2nd day I was there. We got to see the new Provo Beach Resort in the Riverwoods mall and boy did we have fun. Thursday we ate Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's. Friday night we went to visit Danny's grandma and on our way home we stopped by Temple square and oh how I miss seeing those lights during the Holiday's.
Here are some picture/video clips, enjoy! - please excuse my singing and commentary!
This past weekend my brother came to visit for a couple days. He has been wanting to go see Cirque du Soleil- Totem for a while now. They are touring and are currently in San Fran. Danny's Friend Luis and his family decided to come visit us last minute so on Saturday we all traveled to San Fran. Danny, Elia, Luis and his family walked around Pier 39 while Malcolm and I had quite the adventure figuring out S.F transportation/metro/bus system. After taking two different trains and running across a couple bridges, we finally got to the parking lot where the tents were set up 10 minutes into the show. Words can't express how INCREDIBLE the show was, I felt like a little kid at the circus. I was in awe, with the ability these performers had to manipulate their bodies, their strength and flexibility, the costumes, make-up, and live music. I don't think I have seen so many 6 packs on so many people in one room like I did that day, can you say "Eye Candy!" Anyway, all in all the show was phenomenal. Having an appreciation for the performing arts and a little knowledge of what it takes to put on a show, oh boy, they surpassed my expectations (not that my expectation means much)... As my sister would say "I am no longer a Cique Du Soleil virgin" I have now become a groupie. I would pay money to watch another show in a heart beat, it is worth every penny! I loved watching the hoop dancer too, although he only made one world, unlike Living Legends who makes two... ji ji
