Kinley - One Year



It's been an entire year since you've joined our family.  Before you came, I worried so much that I wouldn't be able to love you as much as I love Reagan, but it's amazing how you helped my heart to grow from the first time I saw your face. 


Height: 30.91 in - 73%
Weight: 21lb.13 oz. 89%


This month:
-You've experienced your first (and hopefully only) pandemic.  COVID-19 has taken over the world.  The mandated "stay at home" order has meant you've spent the entire month at home with Mommy, Daddy and Reagan. You've enjoyed this so much!  

-Before the crazy of Corona started, we snuck in a trip to the St. Louis Zoo with the Jones fam.  It was cold but so much fun! 


-You've mastered walking, and we were able to witness it all.  You started the month very unsure of yourself but you are now walking, falling down, and getting right back up to keep going. 

-You've officially moved out of the infant seat and into a big girl seat.  You're loving it so far!

-You LOVE Frozen 2 and Into the Unknown is your favorite song.  You're often found raising one arm up in the air singing "ahhhhhh" just like Elsa. 

-You are into EVERYTHING.  You like remotes, dog food, anything with water, and finding someone else's drink.  You find every little piece of anything that is on the floor and try to eat it. You also are a stair climber and will dart for any steps you can find. You also love to climb on anything you can. 




-You LOVE to be outside.  You either going to the back door or the door to the garage and start saying "uh uh uh" and pointing because you want to go outside.  You just like to walk around, push toys, and dump bubbles. 





-You say five words that we know of.  "baba" for bottle, "bubba" for Peanut (We sometimes call him bubba), "mama", "dada", and "uh-oh".  You're trying to talk and point very often but the words just aren't coming out. You definitely know alot more than you can say because you point to things that we talk about. 

-You still eat baby food but you don't love it. You prefer pouches that you can feed yourself because you want to be independent. 


-You admire Reagan. You giggle at SO many things she does. It's so much fun to watch!

-You may make Peanut hate you.  You currently love to chase him, fall on top of him, and steal his bear.  He's so sweet to you though. You do make it up to him by feeding him every time you eat. 

Here's a few more favorites from this month:







Mommy - 1 yr. and Kinley - (almost) 1 yr. 






I'm ONE!


Kinley, in the last year, you've given our little family so much enjoyment.  Watching you grow and learn new things each day is so exciting.  We've really enjoyed being able to spend so much time with you in the last month (even if we get frustrated getting you out of things you shouldn't have).  You are so, so, SO cute right now with your toothy ornery grin and I wish we could just bottle you up at this stage for a while. 

You are loved so much more than you even know!
