- loves to eat pretty much everything plus still breastfed

- loves baby dolls

- loves to crawl up in Kinsley's pottery barn chair, rocking chair and toddler bed

- loves to color, put lids on and off chalk markers, great fine motor skills

-goes up and down the stairs (though we still keep a gate up and stay with her)

- She enjoys walks, swings and exploring the playground… she is learning to eat less of the sand/grass/ rocks/ wood chips

-no teeth yet

- says-
             *mama
             *baby
             *dada
             *kinsley
             *hoo- hoo for foxy
             *me
             *hi!
             *hey
             *bye bye
             *all done

Night Night Routine- 6:30- turn the waves noise on on her sleep sheep, nurse her while we rock, sing "you are my sunshine" x2 and lay her down, give kisses and wave bye

She still doesn't sleep through the night- goes down at 6:30… latest she'll go is until 5am, then we are up by 7:30. (that's a "good" night).

-Things I love: her huge grin from ear to ear with a big gummy smile, her hugs, watching her be so smart, watching her try to do everything that kins does

- things I don't like- trips where I can't put her down- she is horrible with trying to stand in a cart (even while buckled), she pushes against my weight to get down if I'm holding her or she's in the ergo… occasionally she'll go on my back in the ergo or a stroller is better- as long as we keep moving
