March 18 - 24, 2012

This week we got the kiddos picture taken twice! Once for Kinley's 10 month pictures as well as some updated ones of Colton. The second time we went to visit the Easter Bunny. Colton has been talking all week about seeing the Easter Bunny and once he was there he acted very shy and wouldn't even smile for the camera! We also started to prep the yard for our swimming pool. We're hoping to be lounging in it by mid May! Enjoy!


Our beautiful babies! I must say, it's very difficult to get an almost three year old to sit still and an almost one year old not to crawl all around!

Colton rediscovered his Mickey hat from Disneyland. He insisted on wearing it all day :).

Here is a view from the back with his name on it.

We took Kinley and Colton to see the Easter Bunny. We were only the second people in line and by the time we left, it was much, much longer.

The after picture of all our plants and rocks gone from the left side. Come Monday, the brick wall will come down and our two air conditioning units will be put in the garage for a few days as they dig the hole for the pool.


Before view of the right side of our backyard.


All the landscaping piled up against the wall. Colton was quite surprised to see the difference in the yard.

It's all gone. Come Monday the grass will be gone and a big hole will be started. So exciting!

March 11 - 17, 2012

When I look at the pictures from this week, I notice how much Kinley and Colton love each other. They are becoming friends and for the most part, like to play with each other. Of course, Colton gets annoyed at times when Kinley takes his toys, but will usually give her something else to play with. Enjoy!

Kinley all ready for the day.

In this picture you can see four of her bottom teeth. She also have four top teeth as well!

Kinley is so close to walking! Here she is showing us how she can stand all by herself.
03-15-12


She stood for around five seconds!

Colton's favorite thing right now is to play with all of his cars. He lines them up and pushes them around the track.

Colton has always enjoyed playing with hats. Here, he is introducing his sister to his collection of hats.

Kinley decided to try one on for herself.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kinley all decked out in her shamrock outfit eating her favorite breakfast food, waffles!

Colton loves toaster strudel, so he got a green shamrock on his. He of course ate most of the icing before the bread.

March 4 - 10, 2012

Kinley turned 10 months old this week! I can't believe that our little baby is growing up and will be one year old soon! Colton is showing his silly side again which is pretty funny. I've been off crutches for a couple of weeks now. It's so much easier to do things with the family when you don't have to worry about getting around places with a wheel chair or crutches. I'm excited to have my leg back!

10 Months Old!
Height: 30 inches (90-95%)

Weight: 21 lbs. 6 oz. (75-90%)

Feeding: Kinley continues to enjoy regular food. She eats with us whenever we do. One thing that we've notice that she doesn't enjoy fruit as much as her brother, who could eat fruit all day long! I'm not sure if it's too sweet right now, but I'm hoping she learns to enjoy it.

Sleeping: Still an awesome sleeper. Kinley sleeps 10-12 hours straight at night, as well as two naps during the day. After talking to a lot of my mommy friends, I know how lucky we are to have two kids who slept through the night at an early age. I can't imagine getting up at least once a night at this point.

Size: Kinley is still wearing size three diapers and 12 or 12-18 month clothes. Most of her spring clothes are 12-18 months and her summer clothes that I've already bought are 18-24 months.

Milestones: Kinley is our fast little crawler. She can now crawl stairs as well! Gates are up all over the place! The girl has no fear and will try to climb anything that she sees. Kinley now has eight teeth! Yes, eight teeth! She has four on top and four on the bottom. She has about one day a month that she is very uncomfortable, but a little tooth gel on the gums helps her discomfort immediately. Kinley continues to be such a HAPPY baby. When she gets upset or gets hurt, just a hug and being held is what helps the most and the crying stops.

Kinley loves to chew on Colton's cars. He doesn't care for that too much.
03-05-12


As you can probably tell by previous pictures, Colton is into cars and trains right now. He loves to put them on several different tracks and push them around.

Another picture of Colton with a car. Here he was pushing the car into the Lincoln Log box.

Colton's silly side. Colton loves hats and here he is wearing one of Kinley's Easter hats. He was getting ready for the bath so he is down to his diaper as well.
03-07-12


This is how I found Kinley when I went to get her up. Standing up and ready for me.
03-08-12



A few minutes later and Kinley is dressed and ready to go! Have I mentioned how much this girl loves to climb things, anything!
03-08-12


This picture warms my heart....Colton loves to feed Kinley. Here he's giving her some puffs.
03-09-12


I took Kinley shopping with me and to distract her, I gave her my wallet to play with. She then got a hold of my phone as well. Here she's not too happy with me for taking the phone away and she is holding on to the wallet for dear life!

February 26 - March 3, 2012


Grandpa and Grandma Leatherwood came to visit for a couple of days.  The kiddos had fun playing with them.  Colton and Kinley also took their first bath together, which was nice for mommy and daddy to save some time and water.  Enjoy.


 Grandpa and Grandma Leatherwood came to visit.  Colton had just gone down for his nap when they were getting ready to leave, therefore he wasn't in the picture :(.

Kinley's is such a little girl already.  Here she is trying to decide between which bag to take.

Kinley is big enough to sit up in the tub all by herself....and she loves it!  Her poor little knees are bruised due to all the crawling around!
03-02-12


I love it that we can bathe both kids together!  What a time saver.

February 19 - 25, 2012

 
 Our kiddos are getting so big!  Now that Kinley is mobile, she loves to follow her brother wherever she goes.  Colton doesn't always appreciate her company, especially when she tries to take his toys from him :).  Enjoy!
