This week could be called Kinley week. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of Colton to include. I'll make sure to have some for next week. Enjoy!
Post bath...Kinley likes her baths now. The first couple were rough but not anymore. 07-17-11
All ready for bed. 07-17-11
I know I'm a tad biased, but I think Kinley has some gorgeous blue eyes...the pictures don't do them justice. 07-19-11
All ready to go to Gymboree. I've started taking Kinley to their level one class. She has a great time and it's nice to be with other mommies who have kids around the same age and to talk about what's going on with them. 07-20-11
Kinley started sticking her tongue out a little more than usual this week. Too cute! 07-22-11
This week we spent some time with a friend, Kinley started sleeping in her crib, and this week also marks one month left before I have to return to work :(. Enjoy!
This is how my week started....Colton getting into anything that he could and making a mess. This particular day he spilled the popcorn salt all over himself, took a pen and colored on his arms, found some baby wash in Kinley's room and poured it on her carpet and then while he was in time out in his room, he took baby powder and poured the entire thing all over his room! I think he just wanted to get in as much trouble as possible and all before it was even 10 am! Luckily we haven't had another day like this....yet! 07-10-11
Later that day, and after his nap, we went to my friend, Autumn's, for a play date. Her daughter Lillian is six days older than Colton and she just had another darling girl, Emma, that is ten days younger than Kinley. I foresee lots of fun play dates in our future :).

It didn't take these two too long to warm up to each other. Here Colton is leaning in, giving Lillian a love. 07-10-11
Reading books together. 07-10-11
Getting ready to go to sleep in her crib for the first time! 07-13-11
All bundled up and ready to go to sleep in her crib. She was ten weeks old and I thought it was time since she had been sleeping through the night since she was eight weeks old. Kinley usually has her last bottle between 8:30-9:30 pm, then sleeps for 10-12 hours. She's been in her crib for a couple of weeks now and there hasn't been one night that she's woken up in the middle of it....makes for a happy, not sleep deprived mommy! 07-13-11
Kinley smiles so easily and whenever you smile at her or really give her any attention at all. She is a very content little girl with a such a sweet disposition. We are very lucky to have had two great babies! 07-15-11
Kinley loves playing with her play gym. She loves to look in the mirror. 07-15-11
Pretty girl in purple. 07-16-11
As I was changing Kinley and taking her picture, Colton came in to show me his cowboy hat and say, "Yeeee Hawwww!" Too cute! 07-16-11
Kinely turned two months this week. It's amazing how quickly time flies. We took our annual trip to St. George with my family and Kinley got in the swimming pool for the first time. Enjoy!
It started to rain this night. Colton has never been in rain as it rarely rains here in the desert. It was still very warm outside so I let him go outside and get soaked and have fun in the rain. 07-03-11
Pushing his Tonka truck around in the rain. 07-03-11
We went for Kinley's two month check-up. It's amazing how much she has grown and changed. I've included some pictures from a month ago and this week. Enjoy!
Height: At two months, 23 1/2 inches (95%).
Weight: At two months, 11 lbs, 7 oz. (50%).
Feeding: At two months, Kinley is eating 5 oz every 4-5 hours. We started putting rice in her bottle every other feeding.
Sleeping: Kinley is a great sleeper. She slept through the night at 8 weeks and now sleeps between 10-12 hours each night. Kinley doesn't sleep as much throughout the day as she use to but she's a very content little girl.
Size: Kinley wears size one diapers and is wearing 0-3 month clothes.
Milestones: Kinley smiles very easily and laughs. She tracks movement with her eyes and likes to stand up with the help of my fingers. Kinley has very strong legs, she often pushes on them in the bath or in her bouncer. Kinley is also a big talker. She loves to coo, especially when you talk to her, it's one the cutest things that I've seen.

Kinley for the first time in a pool and she promptly feel asleep. 07-08-11
Colton is such a little fish in the water. He loves the water and the condos that we stay at have several pools in one area to choose from. This is is a great toddler pool that is not deep at all. 07-08-11

Colton being silly with Kinley by wearing Mr. Potato Head accessories.
I found Colton on the chaise in our bedroom looking through one of his picture albums. Colton loves to look at his albums and point out all the people he knows. 06-28-11
Later that day, I spied on Colton in his playroom. 06-28-11
Here he is putting a puzzle back together. It's so interesting to me to watch him. He plays really well by himself. 06-28-11
Kinley in the bath. She likes the bath a lot more now. The first couple of times were rough and she cried a lot but she has gotten use to it and doesn't mind it at all. 06-29-11
All clean and ready for bed. 06-29-11
Peacefully sleeping. 06-29-11

Kinley loves her swing and here she is looking at herself in the mirror above her. 07-02-11
I found Colton in his room with his baby powder in his hand. He had gone around and poured it out as you can see. It was on his bed, rocker, night stand, dresser, carpet, rug and in his closet. He started to "clean up" with his towel when he knew he was in trouble :).
Post bath...Kinley likes her baths now. The first couple were rough but not anymore.
All ready for bed.
I know I'm a tad biased, but I think Kinley has some gorgeous blue eyes...the pictures don't do them justice.
All ready to go to Gymboree. I've started taking Kinley to their level one class. She has a great time and it's nice to be with other mommies who have kids around the same age and to talk about what's going on with them.
Kinley started sticking her tongue out a little more than usual this week. Too cute!
