Excuse me

Today you were quite entertaining. You thought it would be fun to use a baby spoon and pretend to feed your sister. You used a welcome sign decoration as a bowl of applesauce (love your imagination) and fed her. She was such a trooper for you and gave big smiles as you came closer with the spoon even though more times than not, you gagged her. You also wiggled her toes and said " this little piggy"

My two favorite quotes for the day... "I fart! Excuse me."
"I fart mouth" after burping at dinner.

Someday you may not be very happy that I posted this video, but I couldn't resist!

Oh Kinley

My dear Kinley,
I love you even though you woke up at 6 am crying and escaped your room when Daddy went in to check on you. You ran down the hall and barreled through the door to get to me, keeping me up for over an hour. When Daddy asked you if you wanted to go watch Barney, you said " ok! bye Mommy"
You also had repeated time outs this morning and in the middle of our battle, through choked sobs, you said, " I need coffee!" That's my girl!
You are starting to sing now which is so fun to listen to! In the car last night we were listening to "Baby" and after you started singing "Baby, Oh" This morning I heard you singing to Coal, "I love you, kiss you" (Your version of the Barney song)
You can be quite the challenge sometimes, but I love you so much and you are such a spunky little girl!

Mommy's helper

You are almost 2 now and learning new words constantly! Here's a list of some of our favorite quotes:

"I almost fell, hold on tight!" when bouncing on mommy's knees

"I see Daddy's butt!" when Daddy bent over to pick something up

"Daddy went back to work again" after Daddy left and mommy was getting out of bed

Your mealtime prayer..."Jesus, thank you food. Mommy, Daddy, Elise Mae. Amen"

"Why not, mommy?"

"Oh gosh, it's wet!" when changing Elsie's diapers

"Mommy, help you quick!" You mean help me!

"What is that sound?"

"Who is that?"

"A green Daddy!" when watching the mowers who do our neighborhood's lawns

As you can see little miss, you are starting to ask A LOT of questions! We think you're advanced for your age, but we're your parents so we're biased.

Today you helped mommy do a lot! We gave Elsie Mae her bath, which you love and Elsie loves even more! She smiles and you and talks to you while you pour water on her tummy and wash her. It's one of my favorite things to do with you two. You also helped me put away Elsie's summer clothes and and take out her fall stuff. That was fun. We also read a lot of book together on the couch and ate dry cereal together, although you took my bowl and gave me your almost empty one! You are napping so we'll see what the rest of the day brings!


To our Kinley

Kinley,
This blog is for you. You are always doing and saying such cute things that we want to remember someday so we want to keep track of it all. We love you soooo much and consider it a blessing to watch you grow up! So here we go...
