6 Months old today!!  Happy half birthday to our little peanut!  Wow! I can't believe it's been 6 months since Kinley came into our lives.  The time sure does fly.  Today I dressed Kinley up in an adorable little ballerina outfit that was given to her by Jeanne Swift.  She looked precious!!

It's my 30th birthday today.  I received the most precious and special present I ever could have asked for nearly 6 months ago.  This milestone birthday is so much more significant because I am able to share it with my family and most of all, with my Kinley.

We had a labor day/birthday bbq combination today which was just so much fun.  Mima, Grandpa, Auntie I, Uncle Tom, Molly and Aunt Peggy all came to spend the day with us; along with some great friends we've made in West Hartford.  We had (too much) great food, drinks and lots of laughs!

Below are some great pictures from the day:

This week was our first family vacation to Long Beach Island, New Jersey!  Grandpa rented a beautiful house for the week just a few houses down from the beach entrance.  We had such a nice and relaxing time and Kinley was such a good little beach bum!

This is how Kinley spent most of her mornings on the beach

Above is a shot of Kinley and Dad.  She's modeling her first bikini from Nana.  The second picture was a great day at the beach which our friends from West Hartford - Brian, Katie and Allie Boyle came to spend the day with us.

Kinley rockin' her shades on the beach!

Mima and Aunt Peggy watched Kinley this weekend while Matt and I went to Saratoga Springs for the weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday with great friends.  Kinley had so much fun spending time with Mima and A.P.  I think she gave them a "run" for their money - literally.  They had great stories to tell us when we got home from our weekend.  Here are some pictures of their fun and ours....

5 Months old today!!  Kinley is such a pleasure and is really becoming a happy baby.  She has a great personality that shines.

She's getting more curious, so picture taking with her sign is proving to be a more and more difficult task each month!
