6 months old!

Wow, how time flies! I haven't updated in a long time and I'm sad that I haven't kept up with this blog as much as I would like to. However, since I haven't been blogging, I have been spending more time with my family, which I do feel is a little more important than being on here!

To start off, Kinley is 6 months old today! I honestly cannot believe she is that old. Time is literally flying by before my eyes. K is doing so well and developing so much! She is still just the happiest baby, always smiling and laughing. She is a little blabber-mouth, always babbling away. She has just recently started saying "da da da da da," which is her real first attempt at talking (other than just noises.) It is very exciting! Knowing Seth and I, she will be really talking any day now! :) K is sitting up like a big girl all by herself and she can lean way over and scoot around to reach her toys, and then pull her self back to her original spot. We like to put her down on her big circle mat in the middle of the living room and let her sit and play with her toys. She loves it!

Baby K went to her first birthday party on Sunday-her sister Maddie's 4th birthday. She swung in the swings with her friend Kahlen-they just kept looking at each other in the swings and it was so adorable!

Seth and I got married March 12, 2011 and Kinley and Maddie were the flower girls. They were super adorable in their matching dresses! Maddie tossed out flowers and Kinley rode down the aisle in an old-fashioned baby carriage.

Kin-Kin also went to her first ballgame last Thursday to the Springfield Cardinals. She didn't get a lot of watching time because everyone wanted to hold her! She got to see the Clydesdale's horses, which is amazing! She just stared at them.

I am very proud to say that we are still nursing at 6 months. I read a statistic that only 35% of women who started breastfeeding are still nursing at 6 months. Yay for Kinley and I beating the odds! It is a subject I am very passionate about and I am so happy for the bond that we have because of it.

Well, that's a quick wrap of everything going on in our lives! I hope to update soon with more pictures.
