Don't Shoot!

WOW!  Slacker? I feel terrible that it has been so long.  I will quickly try to catch y'all up to present day.  Since the last post, we've obviously have gone on our family vacation.  Not sure if it was the sun, the ocean, or her crazy cousins but seems like Kinsley slept most of the vacation.  Here are a few shots:

Come June or Birthday Month we like to call it, things got crazy!  Here's one cute picture we got from Madison's birthday party.

Shannon celebrated her 30th birthday this year and we all got to spend a few hours out on Lake Lanier with her and her friends.  Kinsley got to ride a jet ski for the first time:

Since June, July has really seemed to fly by.  Adam and I are both extremely busy at work right now.  It is really hard to believe that Kinsley turned 9 months last week!  Here are a few of our favorites of her 9 Month Photo Shoot.

She went last Friday to get her shots :( .  Everything went great (only one shot this time).  She was a little over 20 lbs, 75% for weight, 50% for height (I think 27"?), and a 95% for head size!  The doctor had to remeasure her head cause it had grown so fast since 6 months.  While this is funny and probably means nothing cause Adam and I both come from a family of big heads- we have to take her back in a month from now to get her head remeasured.  Apparently, it could be a sign that brain fluid is not getting absorbed back into the brain (again, doctor laughed at this and really thought this would not be the case).  I think it just means that she will be the next Telsa (if you don't know who I'm referencing- look it up).

She now has two complete bottom teeth, one upper, and one more upper trying to make its way through.  She is experimenting with real solids now, losing interest fast in purees.  She's a talker, an all around joy.  She now reaches for familiar faces when she wants to be held and has very fine motor skills (putting items between her thumb and index finger).  She can pull up on items and "walk" when assisted.  The biggest thing since this past week even- she crawls!  And crawls fast!!!!!!!!!!  I will post a video as soon as I can capture one.

This Thursday-Saturday I am attending Thirty One's National Conference here in Atlanta.  Other than that, Adam and I are keeping very busy at our normal "day" jobs.  In the meantime, I am slowly starting on planning her first birthday party- "Under the Sea".

Love is in the air

Well since the last post- I have been to Panama City for Ashley's bachelorette and to her wedding.  It was an absolutely beautiful wedding.  David and Ashley met at the most romantic place- Waffle House.  They had a waffle groom's cake with the WaHo syrup.  It was too cute.

Thanks to my mom for keeping Kinsley so we could go out and enjoy Ashley's wedding.

Ms. Kins now has her ears pierced! We went for her 6 month checkup on the 27th.   She weighed a little over 17lbs, was 27" long and healthy!  While I tried to get them done there- the doctor wasn't in that does it (I hoped to just piss her off in one visit instead of multiple times).  Well we went to the outlets Saturday to get some shopping done and I ended up getting them done at Claire's.  The girl made me feel really comfortable and she was due to eat anyways so I had the perfect opportunity to cheer her up after.

Hole 1

She had grabbed a couple's attention and was watching them

Its hard to capture the moment but we believe Kins has her first boyfriend.  Too bad he's on a DVD and is at least 6 years older than her (not allowed).  She just lights up and babbles when he comes on TV.  

I've gotten a kiddie pool and hope to play with Kins every weekend in it to get her accustomed to the water.  She absolutely loves it.  Here is her first time in the pool.  

The past week or so has been very busy for me.  Well not really but I've put off doing a lot thanks to the newest trend- Fifty Shades of Grey.  I finally gave into the hype and downloaded the books.  I don't normally read or enjoy fiction at least- I read all three books in just one week!  While I will admit, you have to keep an open mind- it really is a great story.  Once you get past the shock of the first book, books two and three are just amazing.  I recommend to any married couple.

In just 18 days, we'll be at the beach!
