Summer Fun!

Justin and I haven't taken any family pictures since Kinley was born. Here we are...Kinley is 2 and a half months old and I am down 37 lbs! Don't ask me how that happened, but thank goodness it did! Kinley is doing so well. She is on a great schedule in which she eat and sleeps great, spits up a WHOLE lot less, is learning to burp herself (or help me out), sleeps through the night about 7-8 hours and smiles so much. I love this stage she is in...we are starting to see her personality more and more and I have so much fun with her each day. We leave for California in a couple of days for Kinley's baby blessing; which might I add...she is going to be one heavy baby to bless. Not that she is a big baby, but she will be 3 months by then. Most babies are blessed at just a few weeks old. Good thing we have strong men in our family! We are also going home for the annual Wilhite Family Reunion and then I will stay an extra week with my family while Justin comes home and has to work. What a good husband and daddy!

I just love this. This is Kinley's "thing". It is so nice to have Justin around this summer. The past couple summers he has been doing APX, so he would be gone till about 11 pm, he would then eat dinner and we would go to bed. Justin is so great...he stays home as much as possible and spends time with Kinley and I, on top of applying for secondary med school applications, service projects, research, and work. Talk about a full load!

This is the kind of face you get when one doesn't know a picture is being taken...Some warning next time.

One of my lazy days at home with Kinley. Don't judge me! Moms get tired too.



Love her little bum in the air.

So Kinley was laying like this on the ground, so Justin picked her up and as he was picking her up, she stayed like this the whole time.

I love the stage Kinley is in. She coos/talks to us when she is really happy and excited and she is starting to try to roll over. She trows her legs up and kind of leans to the side. Practice makes perfect!


Justin missed the best part. I was sitting on a couch full of clothes to be folded and fell asleep while burping Kinley. Well, at least I got ready for the day. I got that going for me :)

Poor thing. Nana (my mom) got Kinley this adorable bathing suite but it is a 3-6 months. It is big on her so I decided to adjust it to where I could tie the bows at her shoulders to where it fit her pretty good. This is before the adjustments.

Blurry picture, but so cute. I am in love with this girl's smiles!

Happy 4th of July!

Love her smiles!

At the 4th of July parade. Justin had to work the night before till 5 am and he, being the amazing husband he is, woke up at 9 am to go to the parade with Kinley and I.

Kinley's first 4th of July. Surprisingly slept through the whole parade considering the noise.







Only in Utah....Missionaries in the parade.

2 months old!

Kinley is 2 months old now (10 weeks) and doing great! At her two month appointment she weighed 10 lbs 9 oz. , and is 22 inches long. She stays awake longer during the day and sleeps great through the night! Kinley smiles so much and with every smile, she melts my heart. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy baby girl and be able to spend everyday with this sweet bundle of joy.

This picture is of last summer, but I just love Us!!! Justin is so perfect for me and I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband and father to Kinley. I am glad that I am not the only one who speaks silly to Kinley and I am grateful for each and every moment we are all together as a family. Even though he has a ton on his plate, he makes time for us and makes sure we take priority. Oh and Justin just got his score back from the MCAT...the average score of someone who gets into D.O. school is 27. Justin's score after studying for two weeks (because Kinley was born early): 31!!! Kinley and I are so proud of you baby!!!

Daddy and naked Kinley right before a bath. She loves really warm baths. Could'nt ask for a better daddy. He is amazing!

This is how she sleeps....hands up by her face.

Kinley sleeping in her crib. Starting at 8 weeks, Kinley started sleeping in her crib. Before that she slept in a pack and play newborn napper next to my bed. I am so lucky...at about 4-5 weeks, she started sleeping through the night!

So one day I was cooking dinner in the kitchen and I walked into the living room to get something. I look down and see this: Justin had put "hand cuffs" on Kinley. He was sitting right next to her laughing. I took a picture and told him I was going to put it on facebook. He said jokingly, "no, somebody is going to call CPS on me".




At Kinley's 2 month appointment she got three shots. Luckily the nurse was quick, so she just cried for a few seconds...what a good baby!

Sorry Kinley...Sadly, this is only the beginning.




About to go on a walk with mommy and daddy


She sleeps so peacefully.

Cute little feet...



Look how strong she is. Just a few hours after she was born she held her head up off of my chest, but only for a second. Now she can hold her own body weight (which she has done for a while) and can hold her head up for minutes...what a strong girl.

3rd Wheel...

This past weekend Justin took Kinley and I on a wonderful date. That morning we went to an outdoor art show/farmers market in Provo. Later on in the evening Justin and I made shish kabobs together, we went to the park, took pictures, barbequed and played latterball. The only bad part...mosquitoes. After we got home we watched a movie and Justin made delicious apple crapes for dessert. Our dates now consist of the three of us; wouldn't have it any other way.
