11 months


just 1 month away from her first birthday and sprouting teeth all over. the fang on top now has a friend and 2 more on the way. miss kinley doesn't seem to be bothered by them coming in at all. she did have a cold this past month that required a doctor visit and an antibiotic for a yucky ear, but otherwise is fighting off her big brothers' germs like a champ. she has become a "for real" crawler. she still will army crawl if she wants to get somewhere super fast, but for the most part, she has resorted to hands & knees crawling. she's now waving hi/bye and signing "more". she will clap her hands and dance for us. she definitely is attached to her 'nee nee'(blankie). she doesn't seem to have an absolute favorite yet, but must have one to sleep or ride in her carseat with. she holds it and sucks on her knuckles anytime she's tired or needs comforted...it's still precious. she will pretty much eat anything you put in front of her. she loves food and has even been known to eat her scraps off the floor after she's done at the table :) she's way more nosey than her brothers were at this age...pulling cords out of outlets, getting into the trash, pulling books off the shelves, eating legos...quite the explorer! who wouldn't be though with all of the excitement around our house. love, love, LOVE, this baby girl!

what a treat to not only have dinner downtown with my handsome hubby, but also two of my best girls (and their husbands, of course).

9


his last year in single digits...elijah christopher. loving all things harry potter, star wars, and gi joe. reading book after book, just like his daddy. enjoying basketball, baseball, and karate. pretending with spy gear. bossing his brothers, while adoring his sister. these are just a few things that make our 9 year old so special.

flips

around this time last year, we were pleading with God to heal pawpaw jay. and here is proof that God answers prayers!

we are SO thankful He gave us more time together. while pawpaw was recovering, he wasn't allowed to 'flip' the boys, so now that he can, kinley has joined in on the fun :)
