Kinley at Mimi's House with her Cute Diva Zebra Bib :)
Everything has been chaotic but we're having a blast. Kinley is 8 1/2 months old (hard to believe!) She has 4 teeth (2 top and 2 bottom) and is sitting up perfectly on her own. She also gets around very well on the floor - she gets up on all fours but ultimately "scoots" across the floor. I know she will be crawling any day now. She has said "da da" for several weeks, but she's recently added "ba ba" - which we interpret as "Bubba" "Bye Bye" and "Bottle" as we see fit. :) I'm really working on MAMA, but she won't comply. She is such a happy baby - all smiles and so sweet spirited. She loves Maddox. She lights up when he's around, and he is so good with her.
Maddox is 2 1/2 years old and smart as a whip. His vocabulary blows me away most days. I can't believe my 2 year old isn't potty trained, but he can make complex sentences and has such a great memory, making the most random connections or recalling the craziest things from days or even weeks prior. He is also a typical two year old - hard headed, stubborn and testing boundaries, but most days he is a sweetheart. He is so compassionate and thoughtful. I love that. He is also his daddy's son - and rotten to the core. This age is so much fun. His imagination is growing. He is gaining so much independent (which is bitter sweet). He's a cutie pie, and I love being his mommy.
We are having the time of our lives with our little ones. Here are some pictures from so far this year (and a short video of Kinley from earlier this week).
Kinley getting so big - she pulls up some on toys and things.
She'll be "Cruising" any day now.
