I realized when I was putting this blog together, that I didn't take that many pictures this week. Sorry, I'll try to be better at it. Enjoy!

January 29 - February 4, 2012

This week Kinley turned 9 months old! She is looking more like a toddler to me than a baby. It is kind of sad to me, but in the same breath, I'm looking forward to her getting bigger. Enjoy!

Lisa and Blake saying goodbye to the kiddos. We sure enjoyed having them for a few days. (Colton refused to get in the picture)

We went to play with Lillian and Emma. It's fun to see these kids play together.
02-01-12

Lillian has lots of princess dresses and when she put one on, Colton wanted to as well. He had it on for two minutes then asked that I take it off :).

And then the tutu came out...

Colton being silly.

Kinley turned 9 months old on February 4. Love this picture, looks like she's whispering something special to Mickey Mouse.
02-04-12

Height: 29 1/4 inches (90-95%)

Weight: 20 lbs. 12 oz. (75-90%)

Feeding: Kinley's eating habits have changed a bit since last month. For the weekends she eats breakfast with us, which she LOVES, and won't take her first bottle until 11:30 or 12:00. When she is home with us on the weekends, she eats two 8 oz. bottles. She loves pancakes, muffins, and waffles. Kinley gets upset if she doesn't get to eat when the rest of us are eating a meal. I've started to feed her some regular food in small doses, and she has eaten anything I've put in front of her :).

Sleeping: Great sleeper (I know, I'm a broken record). She takes at least two naps a day that range from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours.

Size: Kinley wears size three diapers and is now wearing 12 or 12-18 month clothes. She continues to be bigger than her same age peer and very long.

Milestones: Kinley is our little crawler. She actually started to crawl right after her 8 month birthday. Kinley not only loves to crawl, but she pulls herself up whenever she can and she has already started to walk around couches. Kinley now has six teeth! She has three on top and three on the bottom. Kinley is such a HAPPY baby. She is rarely upset and even when she gets knocked down by her brother, she rarely cries and just gets back up. Eric and I have been very blessed with two GREAT babies, as my sister, Lisa, who has five kids, has reminded me often. I guess because we don't know any different, we are very lucky to have the wonderful kids that we do.

I love this picture. It's like she's telling me, "not another picture mom."

January 22 -28, 2012

Things are going well for the Gant Family. I only have one more week until I can put full weight on my leg again (woo hoo!!). I have been given permission to drive again, which after 9 weeks, is nice to do again. The kids are getting so big and Kinley is crawling full time now. We were fortunate enough to have my sister, Lisa, and her boy Blake, with us this past weekend. It's the second time she's been to Vegas in three weeks...awesome! Enjoy!

Colton in full relax mode.

I love little girls in dresses! Kinley loves playing with her brother's toys.

Colton loves to line up all of his cars. This night he decided to line up all of his cars, including trains and planes.

Here is the final product.

Kinley had fun watching Colton with all of his transportation toys.
01-26-12

Kinley is getting so big that she now eats breakfast with the family. Her current favorite are waffles that she can pick up with her fingers all by herself. Funny thing about Kinley is that whenever she sees someone eating something she immediately wants some of it. She will get very upset if we leave her out of the fun of eating regular food.
01-28-12

My nephew Blake playing with Kinley. Kinley has been freaked out by men lately. For some reason she starts crying when she sees a guy that she doesn't know. This happened a few weeks ago whenUncle Andy visited and again this weekend with Blake. It took her a couple of hours to warm up to him and the food that he fed helped as well.
01-28-12

Blake walking with Kinley. I have a sneaky feeling that Kinley may become an early walker. She is already crawling full on but she also loves it when you walk with her and she actually takes pretty good steps all on her own. Kinley is also getting good at pulling herself up all by herself and standing for a period of time. I'm not ready for her to start walking!!

January 15 - 21, 2012

We were lucky enough to have some visitors this week. Uncle (silly) Andy and his friend from Uruguay, Luciana, came to stay with us for a couple of days. Colton was in heaven! We love seeing Andy and having him stay with us and Colton loves Andy for playing with him nearly 24/7! Enjoy!

Brothers being silly. I'm not sure Kinley likes being held like a football :)!

Colton is encouraging Kinley to "go for it," meaning to start crawling.
01-17-12

Happy Kinley!
01-17-12

I find this so funny. This is Kinley's way of crawling. She first gets up on all fours and sticks her bum out. After that she moves forward and down. Love it!!
01-17-12

I went to a friend's shower and Kinley went with me and was the belle of the shower. She knows how to draw attention to herself. She laughed so much that I heard "what a happy baby" more than once :).

Love this smile!
