Adventures with Pete and Nana

Mom and Dad are spending mom's spring break this week with us. They've been here since Saturday so we've enjoyed catching up and just hanging out.



Cute little pigtails!


Pete and Nana bought Kinsey an exersaucer....she loves it!



Monday we headed to Jackson to see my Uncle Jimmy (Dad's brother) and his family. My cousin Jeremiah and his wife had a baby boy that's about 2 months younger than Kinsey. We had a great time visiting with them and meeting little Hunter!

Happy Belated Birthday to...

We've celebrated a few birthdays the past week and I haven't had time to update the blog so they will all have to share a post!

We celebrated Ryan's birthday yesterday. My mom and dad are here so they took us out to eat and mom made Ryan and dad one of her fabulous German chocolate cakes. (I was going to take a picture of it but there's hardly anything left! It was very yummy!) Ryan, I hope to get to celebrate many more birthdays with you! I love you!





Dad celebrated his 50th birthday last Sunday. We love you Dad, aka Pete!



And last but not least....Callie's birthday was last Tuesday. Hope you had a great day! We love you!

Kinsey--5 months!

I can hardly believe that Kinsey is 5 months old! It's crazy how fast time goes by these days. I never knew I could love someone so much : ) Kinsey is such a blessing and brightens our lives in more ways than we could have ever imagined! It's been so much fun to watch her grow and discover new things and I know there's only more to come! I am loving staying at home and enjoying having more time to get involved with ministries at church.

Some things about Kisney at 5 months:

-She such a happy, easy-going baby.
-She loves her cereal and is getting the hang of baby food.
-She's getting better at taking a bottle...it just takes forever for her to finish it because she plays and talks in between eating.
-She's becoming a little attached to me! Usually she will let someone else hold her as long as I am in sight :)
-She sleeps in a one arm swaddle now. I've tried to go without the swaddling blanket but she always wakes up more often and I like my sleep so...swaddling it is!
-She babbles all the time!
-Her knees are very ticklish.
-She's getting the hang of peek-a-boo which usually gets her giggling so we play that alot because I love to hear her laugh!
-

Not so sure about that squash!

All ready for the Easter bunny!

Catching up....

We've been pretty busy the past few weeks and I've just been lazy and slacked on my blogging so I'm going to attempt to catch up on what we've been up to!

Two of my college roommates from Harding came to visit us and meet Kinsey last weekend. It was so good to see them; the visit was just too short! We had a great time talking, laughing and just hanging out. Sadly these are the only pictures I took while they were here :(

We've visited Gram and Grandpop in their new house a few times since they've settled in. We are really enjoying having them closer.

Kinsey with Aunt Callie


Gram got out Ryan & Callie's wagon and we took a stroll around the neighborhood! We propped Kinsey up & she really seemed to enjoy it!


Kinsey was trying out Grandpop's lawn mower


Kinsey is so blessed to have such wonderful great-grandparents! I love how their faces just light up when they see her!

Kinsey turned 5 months on Tuesday...I can hardly believe it! I'll post more tomorrow on what new things she's doing along with some pictures!

Happy Friday!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Got Cereal?

Well the cereal didn't show up as well as I had hoped but it's all over Kinsey's face! She loves it and loves helping me feed herself! She'll put her little hand on mine and pull it toward her mouth...evidently I can't get it there fast enough!




I love, love, love those chunky cheeks!!





Last night I told Ryan that she's growing up too fast! I have been rocking her to sleep at night but the past few nights she's squirmed around like she's not comfortable so I've laid her in her crib and she falls asleep watching her musical fishy aquarium. I'm glad that she can fall asleep on her own but sad because I really enjoy rocking her at night!
