Sweet Baby K: October 2011

Wow. I CANNOT believe my baby girl is already one year old. The time has gone by so quickly! It is such a bittersweet time for me. My little baby is growing up into a toddler-she is walking, talking, climbing, and has a huge personality. It is an exciting time of growth for her, but I miss my little baby too. I want her to stay tiny, but I also love to watch her grow! I wish time would go by a little bit slower. The older she gets, the more I am trying to just enjoy my time with her and really try to create fun memories; I don't want to miss a moment with her!

Updates on Kinley- there are a lot! She is walking, and practically running everywhere! She loves to climb on top of things, and she can already do stairs like crazy and she climbs up on Maddie's little stool, and on the fireplace, and on anything else she can hike her foot up on. She has even climbed on to a few chairs at this point! She makes me so nervous because she is so fearless! She is talking and yelling like crazy too-she definitely already has an attitude! She does not like to share anything, and thinks everything belongs to her. It is interesting to see Maddie and Kinley interact because Kinley doesn't understand sharing, and Maddie doesn't understand why Kinley doesn't share. Life is always very interesting around here. Kinley loves to play outside and LOVES to read books. She gets her books out all the time, brings them to me, and then crawls up in my lap so I can read to her-she gets to turn the pages. She is so much fun and brings so much joy to our lives!

I LOVE being a mom and am truly having the time of my life. K is the biggest joy and I am so thankful every day for having such a blessing in my life. Here are a few recent pictures for you to enjoy!
