Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the Itsy Bitsy Spider!

Creative Playing

One of my favorite baby shower gifts (though there were MANY) was this inflatable bath tub. We began using it a little before she could sit up on her own when she could prop up leaning on the side. It was like HEAVEN to my back and I think she liked being more emersed in water (prior to this we used a big sponge that lays on the bottom of the tub).

A few weeks ago I decided Kinley had outgrown the little girl tub and was ready for the regular bath tub. So one evening I tossed the inflatable tub to Zach to deflate. When I came back into the living room, Kinley is sitting in it having a fabulous time. So it's found a permanent home in the living room.

Kinley is so funny to watch because she will push toys up to the side of the tub and then craw in her tub and play with the toys on the outside. She often uses it as a lounger!

P.S. She is really walking now. I am trying to capture a video of it, so stay tuned!

Happy Fall

I got a new camera for my birthday so Kinley and I made a trip to a local park for a walk and photo shoot to try out the camera. I still have a LONG way to go in terms of photography skills, but I had such a great subject and beautiful Arkansas foliage so I just insist on sharing!

She loved the leaves! Every single one she picked up went into her mouth, of course.

What's New

I know, I know it has been too long. We've been a busy crew, but I'm back!

Kinley turned 11 months this week. She is such a doll and I am enjoying every second with her. She has about 30 words that she says and it just makes me smile. Some of her new words include:

Roller - (like in your hair) which sounds like "wo-wa"

Whoa - this started when she was mocking Zach one night and it just too funny

Bath - sounds like "bas"- she loves her bath time

Diaper - sounds like "pi-por"

Tractor -this is actually pretty clear

Thank you - when she is eating, she loves to share her food. when she puts a bite into someone elses mouth she says "tak too" (Adorable!)

On Monday night while I was at Bible study, the little toot showed out for her DaDa. Here's a video of what I missed

Here's K saying thank you

Cutest Pumpkin

We had play group at the pumpkin patch today. It was lots of fun.

Here are a couple pics of our pumpkin!

It Once Was Lost, But Now Is Found?

My Camera! And what is a cameraless, bloggin' Momma to do? I wasn't real sure. But now that the camera has been located, my spirits are lifted! (Thanks Aunt Millie!)

I didn't want to wait too long between posts, so I thought I would tell you a little about what Miss Kinley is up to these days, specifically what she is saying.

So here's a list of what she says on a daily basis.

Ma-Ma and Da-Da
Duck
Jetta (our dog)
What's that (because this is what we constantly ask her)
Hi
Bye Bye

No-No
Glasses

Nose
Eyes
Mouth
Hair
Outside
Juice
Night Night

Elmo

Big Bird
More Melts (that's Yogurt Melts)
Nosey-Nosey (Eskimo kisses)

I am certain there are many more that I can't understand yet. She really jabbers a lot first thing in the morning when she is eating breakfast and after her naps. Maybe when the camera finally makes it home I can get some of these on video. It is most precious!

This picture is from a month ago, but it is just so hard to post without a picture!
