3 Months Already?

Three MonthsThree Months Two Months

One Month

I am going to copy my friend Rhonda from now on for these monthly updates... she lists all the things her little boy Harris is doing at that month. So here we go...

- Kinley wears size 1-2 diapers
-She sleeps an average of 10 hours at night!
- eating between 4 and 6 oz for feedings with random super hungry times of up to 8 oz!!!
-we just started adding formula to the other milk
-she loves the swing and the bouncy seat, but is not quite tall enough for the bouncy-exersaucer (sp?)
-wearing 3month clothes
-has not lost any hair... except for the patch on the back of her head

My name is Kinley, and I am a thumbsucker

We have gone from occasional thumbsucker to full on hands in the mouth little lady! She will spit out the pacifier and go for the thumb most of the time. The good thing about it is that she is beginning to soothe herself. I am not having to go back into her room to give her the pacifier when she wakes in the middle of a nap... she just finds the thumb and she is good to go! This is what I find on mornings that she sleeps late.

Hotel, Snow and Family

My sweet Grandaddy passed away so we went up to Arlington last weekend for his funeral.

I know there are a lot of Grammies out there, but this one is the best!

This is Kinley's Pop and it is ridiculous that every time he talks to her she smiles! Every time, with out fail.

It is March right? Late March??? Cause it was snowing that night in Arlington! You cant see us very well but look at that snow! This was Kinley's first night in a hotel.. and you can tell we had a good time! She was all smiles.

Lovin the Lovey

Lately Kinley has been grabbing onto a lot of things (including hair and necklaces.) So, I have been giving her a lovey to hold when she swings and when she eats as a good alternative. Genevieve gave Kinley this lovey before we even knew she was a girl... Thank you! She loves it

Smiling Video... I hope it works

Road Trip

About three months ago my sweet Grandaddy was diagnosed with cancer. He is the most amazing Godly 87 year old man. He decided to do Chemo, and it was going well. But sadly, the cancer has now made him really sick. He was admitted to the hospital so, we really wanted to go see him. Since Kinley has been so young, and I was 9 months pregnant when they diagnosed him, we have not been able to visit. So, after my first week back to work we loaded up Kinley for her first road trip. We were worried the whole baby thing in the car for 5 hours would not go well, but it did. She slept the whole way... and still slept thought the night. It was a wonderful car trip not only because she was so easy, but also cause we got to drive with my favorite people... my husband and my parents. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

We went straight to the hospital and got to see Grandaddy and my aunts, uncles and cousins. It has been forever since we have all been together like that. Grandaddy was sleeping a lot, the first day but when we came back on Sunday he was doing a lot better. He asked to hold Kinley... and then he sang to her. My greatest childhood memory of Grandad is him singing "You are my Sunshine " to me ( I am sure he did with all the other grandchildren too, but I just thought it was me.) As soon as he held Kinley in his arms, its like the song just turned on and he began to sing to her. It was the sweetest moment ever.
