"My what big eyes you have"

Have I mentioned I have the cutest baby girl ever? For her first Halloween Kinley was Little Red Riding Hood. I got the idea into my head to make her costume. I am a fairly new sewer but I think I forget that sometimes. I get an idea into my head and it seems simple in my head but then when it is laid out in front of me, I say..."what did I get myself into?!". I have made several things, yet havent had to use one pattern. Talent, I think not! Luck! Anyways, I made this cape for Kinley and I am actually very proud of myself. It took a couple of hours but I conquered it! I wanted to eat her and her little basket too!

Daddy and Kin!

"Your not my grandmother"

My brother Jordan is on a mission in Denver, Colorado and just celebrated his hump day. (First half). He has one year to go and as a family we all sent him goodies, letters and I added some pictures of Kinley, who he hasn't met yet. These were some of the pictures we sent him. I think he might fall in love...I would!

6 months!!!

Kinley turned six months last week and today she had her 6th month appointment. She was so great. On top of getting four shots, she is sick for the first time with a cold. She cried for a few seconds and then stopped, she is so strong! I can't believe six months have passed, but I have been really trying to take it all in and take nothing for granted. I am so thankful for this time we have together every day. Just within the past months she has learned to army crawl, get up on all fours, say "da-da", sit up all by herself, eat baby food...I feel like I am missing something. Point is, she is growing up like crazy but I love every new stage she enters. I love my life!

napping with daddy!

Obsession?...I think so!

Life is going well...to say the least. I spend everyday, all day with this angel! I am so blessed to be able to stay home with Kinley and to watch her grow, develop and become this amazing little person. Just in the past month, she has grown so much! She is now eating baby food, on top of nursing, is starting to sit up, she scoots herself in circles around me (figuratively) , and is officially six months next week!!! Holy cow...where did the time go?! Oh and she said "da-da" three times!!! What the heck? I am the one that spends all day with her ;)

Her sitting up

Our little Mother Teresa!

Feeding time...it's about time to get a high chair.

Oh and she learned to put her binkie in her mouth earlier this month...good thing!

First time eating baby food...a little skeptical at first but learned to love it!

She always does this...so weird.

Looking at daddy!

crunch...

Did her crunches, now its time for push ups.

watching general conference

ah....pure bliss! Life can't get better!

Ah...the life!

A lot is going on right now, but life is good. Justin is going to school, working and interviewing at several medical schools, and still finds time to spend with his girls! Kinley is five months now, growing and making us smile and laugh more and more each day. And I am blessed to stay home with Kinley, in which I enjoy more than I ever thought. I adore this little girl and look forward to picking her up out of her crib each morning. We look forward to this coming fall..This is Justin's last semester at BYU, it will be our three year anniversary and we may be moving back to California for a few months before we head to medical school. Like I said...a lot is going on, but it is all good and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kinley swinging for the first time...she loved it!

Daddy testing his limits

On our way home from Arizona. First read trip...not bad!

I love this..."whatch you looking at?"

Kinley with all of her girl cousins and their new tutu's us mothers made for them.

Kinley and her cousin, Jesse dancing!

While we were in Arizona, we all went to a ostrich farm

Now days Kinley loves her feet! She grabs her feet, pulls them up and attempts to suck on her toes.

Justin and I went to the farmers market one day and bought a bunch of peaches and made a peach pie after we put Kinley to bed. Turned out pretty good!

Kinley rockin her tutu!

Kinley eating rice cereal for the first time..Mmmm!
