1.5 years old


miss K is 24 lbs & 32 1/4 inches tall...60%ile. just a little over average in size, but way over the top in energy! this girl does not sit down! my once lazy, calm baby continues to surprise me with her feisty, spunky, fearless self. she has more words now and is very persistent if we aren't understanding what she's saying. she's a little scrounge when it comes to food. she'll have dinner off of everyone's plate and come up to you with her mouth wide open waiting for a bite. she LOVES to be outside and/or go bye-bye. in fact, she'll bring her shoes to us, hinting that she's ready to get out of the house. she can now call eli by name. she LOVES him...he gets her out of her crib some mornings, reads her books at night, puts her in the shower with him & washes her hair, and will even pick him over me sometimes! she is also very partial to her pawpaws, frequently asking for them. i will admit that she is WAY different than her brothers were. she is not content to just sit and play...she must.be.moving. the only time she isn't on the go is in her carseat or in bed. she is still a great sleeper. taking a long afternoon nap and sleeping 12 hours at night. she's not really into baby dolls at all, but tyrone (the brown skinned cabbage patch kid) and elmo do sleep with her every night. "mo mo" (elmo) is a favorite as is "do da"(dora), although she won't sit long enough to watch even a few minutes of either on tv. occasionally, that would be nice. oh well, she keeps up on our toes and we love her to pieces!!!

outtakes

here are some of the bloopers from my recent attempt at a photo shoot with my own children. (captions below pics)

abram was striking a pose and kinley was "giving him love".

omg, this is the funniest picture ever!! while i was adjusting my camera settings, that baby girl was DETERMINED to find out what was in that barn, baaahaaa!!

think this one speaks for itself. "nobody puts baby"...on a tree ledge!

and of course, little miss nosey strikes again :)

beyond the field


last week, we got an awesome opportunity thanks to our friends at great clips! eli got to be the 'kid of the game' for the last home preseason game. this meant that we all got a private tour of the colts complex, got vip passes to be on the field, and all of the boys (including dad!) got to be the first promotional commercial during the game! eli shared his 2 vip seats on the field with me for the game so that i could take lots of amazing pictures of the action up close. it was an awesome experience and something we will never forget!!!

lots of pokes!


ok, before you call child protective services on me, i want to clarify that a licensed professional did this to my son. yes, he has inherited my lovely allergies to EVERYTHING! foods...not a problem! anything that grows outside...major problem! poor guy was a great sport during the testing. in fact, he brought a book to read so he was distracted from the raging itchiness. he survived and will live on allergy medicine and nose sprays, just like his momma. boo on histamine!!
