Pool Time!

You may have seen the pictures of Kinsey's first water adventure on Facebook, but these were taken today. She enjoyed it much more this time with smiles and squeals! I caught a few smiles, but as soon as I try to video, she usually stops whatever super cute thing she's doing . . . Anyway, enjoy my sweet baby's fun in the sun!

Long overdue update...

Well, Kinsey is now 4 months old! Thankfully, Jeff is working hard so I can stay with her a little longer than originally planned. I was supposed to go back to work in April, but now it has been postponed until August! Yay!!!!

Kinsey is growing so fast! At her 4mo appointment, she weighed 11lb, 10oz, and was 24 1/4in long. We had to start supplementing with formula about a month ago, and has really been packing on the pounds since then! She has been sleeping through the night since she was 9 weeks old! We are so lucky!! Also, she's at the age where everything goes in her mouth, including nearby hands, so look out!! She has been smiling big, gummy grins for quite some time and is giggling and talking a lot now.

We are in our second Kindermusik session. For those of you that don't know, it is a music and movement class. She really likes when I sing to her,(poor thing has no idea that I'm tone deaf) so I thought she might enjoy it. We get some good smiles out of her, so I think she does.

Our house has been on the market for about 2 weeks now. We're not in any real hurry to move, but we need a little more room for our numerous vehicles and Jeff's many projects. If we could build him a shop here, we would love to stay, but theHOA won't allow it. Plus, we have finally found a church that we feel like home to us, so it would be a shame to drive further than we already do.

We have been attending Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian. It's a 40 minute drive (ride for me!), which is completely worth it when you walk in the door and people greet you with your name after you've only been there twice. What a wonderful feeling! I want to raise Kinsey going to church because I feel like I really missed out when I was a child. The people are so sweet to her and many volunteer to take her home with them! Ha! We put her in the nursery for the first time this past Sunday, while we visited our bible class for the first time. I couldn't really pay attention because I was counting down the minutes until we could go get her, but Jeff said he enjoyed it. Then, we got her out and took her in for the service. Kinsey was singing very loudly and cracking everyone up around us. Then, fell asleep in her daddy's lap, with her arms up behind her head, maxin' and relaxin'! The people around us enjoyed that too. It was a special treat at church because my old(former, not age) minister was the guest speaker and did such a great job! We also got to see so many people from Beltline at Main that were all coming to see him. What a day!

Anyway, that's all I can think of for now. Maybe I can try to update regularly now that Kinsey is napping for longer than 20 min. at a time. Laundry is calling my name . . .
