Well, Kinley is 13 months old as of yesterday, and I just can't believe it! We got asked the other day how old she was and I said a year, and Seth quickly corrected me that she is actually 13 months. I can barely keep up with how fast time is going by! She had her 12 month check up today, and is 21lbs, 14oz, and 30 inches long-60% and 70% respectively. She pushed all the chairs around in the exam room, and chatted a lot with the doctor. Dr. Shauer said she is just perfect!
K is still such a little daredevil- not afraid of anything! She spent some time with her Nana yesterday, who helped her up and down on a little stool-when Nana left, Kinley was still trying to do it! She could get up just fine, but got stuck every time because she couldn't get down. She is so hilarious! She is saying lots of words and phrases, and is just a little Chatty Cathy. She is getting better about playing with other little kids-she doesn't steal their toys as much anymore! Haha. She is just so independent and has a very strong personality, and I love it all-good and bad!

For Halloween Kinley was a little lady bug-she was so stinking cute! We went to a local church event where she got to play some games, and then we went trick-or-treating on our street. We should have just gone up and down our whole street earlier-she LOVED trick-or-treating! She was practically running from house to house, and then she knew to reach into the candy bucket and put them in her little pumpkin-it was so adorable! Then at each house she tried to go inside! She is definitely not shy.

Things I am thankful for this season: my little baby girl, my wonderful husband Seth and step-daughter Maddie, my amazing parents and siblings, my incredible in-laws, my great group of friends, my co-workers who keep me laughing at work, our house and cars, and our health and happiness. I am also thankful for being able to go back to school in two months so I will be able to start my career! Sometimes it is hard to be thankful all the time because sometimes it seems that life isn't fair, or things should be going a little better, but after all the great things I have written about, how could life get any better? I am truly blessed in my life, and am so thankful. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and get to spend it with your families!
