The Stinker Face

This is my "I am so cute, aren't you proud of me face?" Kinley is now officially a crawler. I cannot hold her off any longer! Since she started going to - I cant call it daycare, so I call it Norma's - during the day, she has become a super busy lady. She crawls VERY quickly and stands up every chance she can get.

We upgraded her to bathing in the adult bathtub and she loves it! She is eating snacks and sippin the sippy cup. She stands up and lets go of the furniture, like she is perfectly capable of standing on her own - which she is totally NOT capable of! She has the attention span of a fly... Poor Brandon is such a good daddy. He reads to her and all she does is climp all over him. One of my favorite sites I must say.

This past week was very hard on our family. For some reason going back to work last week for inservice was not that hard on me. Leaving Kinley seemed perfectly ok, she loves it there! She loves playing she loves all the attention that the other kids give her (she is the only baby.) To her, the other kids come to pay her attention. It is heaven!

But, this week was very hard. I didnt want to leave her, I missed her every day. And although I know that she is still having the time of her life there, I cant help but be sad that she is not with me.

It is a good thing that I LOVE my job, cause otherwise, I would try really hard to convice Brandon that I would never buy new clothes, he could get rid of my car and I would do anything else to be able to stay home.
But, right now I know that I am where the Lord needs me to be. I adore my students this year. The schedule is tough, but I have fabulous classes, especially my PALs class. They are wonderful!

And its a good thing I have such a great husband or I wouldnt have made it through the week. He cooked dinner every night and put in more of his share of parenting duties. All in all, its been good.

Week at the Lake

SEVEN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!

Here I am, bug bites and all!

Kinley has had a very productive month this last month. Sad to say I was off for summer and never posted a 6 month official photo. I guess I was just being to busy doing nothing.

As you can tell we have a very busy little baby on our hands. She started pulling up in July and now she is obsessed! Who needs toys when you can stand up??? She has only truely bumped her head once, so I am proud to say she is quite balanced.

She weighs 17 lbs
Wears size 3 diapers
Still doesnt wear shoes, the childs feet are too skinny!

She can't wait to crawl!

Summer Time!!!

Swim time at Grammy's house! We go swimming at least once a week at my parents house, we both love it! My cousin Katie and her son Logan come with us too. Here Logan is giving Kinley kisses and she is being grumpy cause it is time for a nap.

Kinley's faborite thing to do other than swim is play in her exer-saucer. She knows how to work the camera !

Kinley Faye is 5 months!

Five months! Oh my.

I weigh 16 lbs
I wear size 2 diapers

Whats been going on:

I am VERY into grabbing things. Remotes, glasses, cheeks, anything that come within my reach. Like this camera... I would like to have it please! (She didnt look this scary in real life.)
I have lost most of my baby hair, but new stuff is growing in

Now I am losing the hair that stayed around when the other stuff fell out. The ring of hair that made me look like an old man : /
I LOVE other babies.
I like to eat! A lot, any thing you feed me, I will eat. And I take my bottles very seriously. No distractions please

Everything goes in the mouth. Everything.

I love my Daddy, he always makes me smile. * notice the towel in the mouth I think Uncle Kyle and Pop are really funny, or funny looking (I am not sure which yet)

Lots of clothes fit me... some 3 month clothes still fit and I have out grown some 6 month clothes. Depends on the maker. FYI Ralph Lauren thinks babies should have skinny thighs and I DO NOT
I still spit up WAY more than Mommy would like, but that is just who I am I suppose.
