This month has been flying by.  Last weekend we spend the weekend in NJ celebrating Kirsten and the Birch's birthday.  Matt and I got to spend the night with Sean and Lauren while Kinley stayed with Grandpa.

Today Kinley decided she was going to feed herself a cracker.  It still amazes me how much she changes and learns with each day that passes.  Here is the video of her eating her cracker....lots of "mmmm's"!

Yesterday was Matt's cousin Brian's wedding in the Berkshires.  The wedding was beautiful and so much fun.  Today, we were lucky to have Kinley's Papa and Godfather - Uncle Mark come visit and watch the Patriots game.  Kinley had so much fun with her visitors.  It was especially great to see Uncle Mark as he flew in from Arizona!

Today Kinley was a Pat's cheerleader (don't worry Giant's fans....there's plenty of football left!)

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!
