Time for Gates

Although Kinsley has a double ear infection and a terrible cough she is apparently well enough to test her climbing skills. Now Baden has nowhere to hide!

Lover of Music and Books

Books hold Kinsley's attention longer than most other activities. She is also a big fan of music and stops whatever she is doing to bob her torso up and down to the beat. She is now combining both her loves. We caught her flipping through a book with her radio next to her. Whenever the 20 second song stopped she would push the play button again then continue reading.

A Style All Her Own!

Kinsley has finally become mobile but has invented her own way of getting around. She pushes using her left leg with the right one dragging behind....it is quite funny to watch! She is so proud of herself and spends her time chasing her new ball and looking at reflections of herself.

9 Months Old!

Kinsley had her 9 month appointment this week and we are amazed at how time has gone by! Below are pics taken at 7 weeks, 6 months and this week. Her height is 27 inches and she is 16 pounds. If "uh oh" constitutes as a first word then we have a winner! She purposely drops things just so she can utter the phrase.

Chuck E Cheese!

We enjoyed our first experience at Chuck E Cheese today with some friends. We apparently weren't the only parents who had the same idea at noon on a cold Saturday......it was pretty crowded but we had a great time! Kinsley started squealing when we were in line waiting and was giddy while we played. Her joy was contagious!

A Visit from the Cousins!

We were lucky to have Gabe and Makena visit us from San Diego this past week. We headed up to the mountains and also took a fun trip to the Denver Aquarium. Kinsley took her first bath with playmates and hated every second of it! With lots of kicking and splashing, it was not the peaceful experience she was used to.

Kinsley's First Christmas

We enjoyed a busy and fun December with Kinsley. Here are some pictures of our favorite memories......playing in the snow, going to Zoo Lights, having dinner at the Flying W Ranch, visiting the Mall of America and of course we included some fun Christmas pics. We celebrated the holiday with family in Colorado then flew to Minnesota for a week. Kinsley adores people so she didn't mind all the extended family passing her around! Her serious face tricks people into thinking she is shy!
