December 26 - January 1, 2013

What a great holiday week it has been.  Followed by a wonderful Christmas, Kinley's aunt Jess came to visit.  She got her some wonderful gifts and they got to spend some quality time together.

Aunt Jess's trip was followed by a visit from Nana.  Here is Kinley wearing the Mrs. Claus or Santa outfit that she bought for her.

Matt may be right and Kinley may be a little superstar.  She is already playing music and singing her own songs!

Finally, Kinley woke up this morning on the last day of Nana's visit and decided to wear her adorable reindeer slippers that her Great Aunt Coleen bought for her while reading her new book.  Aren't they the cutest?

Happy New Year everyone!  We couldn't have asked for a better 2012 and can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for us.

Merry Christmas!  This is by far our most special christmas so far.  We had such an amazing day with Kinley.  We spent the morning at home opening gifts and then went down to NJ where we were able to spend some time at Grandpa's house, Aunt Carol's house and Auntie I's house.  Kinley was spent after such a long day of visiting with family but it was the perfect way to spend her first Christmas.

She really loved her new rocking horse that was waiting at Grandpa's for her.

9 months old today!  We can hardly believe it.  Kinley is changing so much and her personality is really starting to show.  She likes to sing and yell (likes to be heard, just like her dad! :) ) and she is generally really happy.  I think we were able to capture some of her great personality in this month's birthday pictures...

Kinley is offically crawling!  The proper way - butt up and all - no more military style.  She has also figured out how to raiser herself up on things....the coffee table, the sofa, oh yes, and in her crib.  This is how I found her after her nap this morning!

Happy Thanksgiving!! Kinley took her first plan ride this morning and her first trip out to Arizona.  Even though she was suffering with her first ear infection she was very good for this long day of traveling.  She was so excited to get to Nana's and be able to eat Thanksgiving dinner with all of us.

Here is a picture of Kinley and Uncle Mark in the pretty Thanksgiving dress that he bought for her...

We had so much fun while we were there.  Matt and I even got to take off for two days to go visit some friends in San Diego.  It was such a nice little getaway and San Diego was beautiful.

Kinley enjoyed her time with Nana while we were away and really soaked up the Arizona weather!

Nana thought it would be funny to dress Kinley up in one of her craft fair "finds"!  Look at our little prairie girl!!

 

Finally, it wouldn't be a trip to Arizona without a craft fair visit!  Here is Kinley and Nana enjoying some of the entertainment at the biggest craft fair in the world (at least it seemed that way to me :) )

Our baby genius!  Kinley has learned where the Monkey's are on her excersaucer.  She is now able to move the monkey's from one side to the other one command....

Happy 8 months to our precious little girl!  Time is flying by.  Kinley is getting better and better at her military style (or lazy man's) crawl.  She nearly has it perfected!!  We're waiting for the day that she decides to lift her little tush up!!

As you can see, she's getting more and more curious which is making these monthly pictures more difficult to take!

Today was Sydney Grace's Christening (Courtney and Len's little girl) - one of Kinley's best friends!  She was so excited to get dressed up and celebrate Syd's special day.
