18 Months

Kinsley turned One and a half today!!! WOHOO! I haven't done a post on her in a while so I figured what better time then now.
Weight
She hasn’t
been to the doctor recently, but when we put her on the scale we have at home
she has been around 20 pounds. I’m not sure of the height. I need to get her in
for her well checkup so I’ll be finding all this out soon.
Health
I would say her health has definitely improved. She had a fever earlier this month but other than that she hasn’t been sick at all. She hasn’t passed out in a while, which also means no more seizure like episodes…thank goodness! This little girl sure was scaring us for a while.

Sleep
Sleep
is still so on and off with this little one. She has never been our good
sleeper, once in a while we will go through a good sleeping streak but it never
stays that way for long. She had a couple weeks this month where she slept in
out bed. She always ends up with us in the morning which I am fine with, I get
my snuggles in…sometimes! She is so funny, in the morning she’s either pushing
me off the bed trying to get as close to me as she can, or kicking us away
wanting nothing to do with touching anyone (which makes it a little hard to fit
3 people in a queen bed)
Clothes
Miss
Kins is still on the petite side, she mostly wears 12 months and some 12-18
months. She’s catching up to being right on track though.
Diet
Her diet has never been a strong point, we have really struggled
with trying to get her to like eating. It has improved but she still mostly
fights eating dinner. She is a big snacker though, that’s for sure, which I’m beginning
to think might have something to do with her not wanting to eat dinner. Some of
her favorite snacks are, string cheese, yogurt (gogurt right now), crackers,
fruit snacks, grahm crackers and diped in milk. She is also starting to like
some types of fruit like grapes, apples and raspberries. She is a lover of
breakfast foods, cereal being one of her most favorite thing to eat! She’s so
cute and will even pick up the bowl and drink the milk afterwards. She also
loves eggs and french toast. We know she wants french toast when she gets the
syrup out the of pantry and brings it to us!
Crying
She can whine and cry like any other baby, but for the most part I would say she is pretty good. Although she already has moodiness going on, heaven help us when she’s older!!

Milestones
I have
been so horrible at doing these monthly posts. I didn’t plan on doing them
every month after she turned one, but more often than this. She is full on
walking now, running too! She has practically a full mouth of teeth, I haven’t counted
but there’s a lot in there. She is still being such a stinker with talking
though, she only has one word down really well and that’s Mama. She will occasionally
say Dada, but it’s not a regular word by any means. Once in a while we think we
hear her say something, but maybe that’s just us wanting to hear it. I swear
she’s not talking on purpose, just to be a stinker. She is a smart little girl
though and understands the vast majority of things we say to her. If you tell
her to go get her shoes she will gladly bring them to you. You can give her
something and tell her to throw it away and she will, there really is a lot she
understands it just the talking we have to work on. She uses a cup just like the
rest of us now, although sometimes I give her a sippy cup If I get sick of too
many spills. She also can feed herself with a spoon/fork pretty well. She doesn’t
use the binky nearly as often as she used to, sometimes we forget to take it away
but for the most part she only uses it for naps and night time. I know this one
is a little crazy, but she is really close to being done nursing!! For a while
now I have only been nursing her in the morning, that seems to be both of our
times of desperation, she wakes up but is still sleepy and wants to nurse back
to sleep which makes both of us happy. So I always end up giving in and nursing
her. I’m also having a hard time drying up; I’ve gone a couple days without
nursing and there’s still milk! I didn’t this morning though so maybe I can get
her to stop. People always say that it’s the moms who hold on more than the
babies, so not the case here…Kinsley will try and rip my shirt off just to get
to it! Wish me luck on weaning her!
Products I'm loving
In May
while we were in Phoenix with my parents I bought a Petunia Pickle Bottom boxy
backpack off craigslist, it was super cheap because it has a broken zipper. I
wish it didn’t have that dang broken zipper, but other than that I love it.
Fun Facts
I just
know I’m going to forget something! To start off, she is finally growing some
more hair!! It’s not super long but at least it’s growing. It’s also crazy curly
in the back, like ringlet curly its super cute but can get crazy frizzy too!
She absolutely loves taking baths, as soon as I tell her its bath time she tries
to take her clothes off. She also loves being outside, her and Brody could live
out there all day long!! Summer time is the best, now if only we could get some
dang grass for them :/ She is such a good little helper, whenever I'm out weeding the garden she always helps! She also loves to help in the kitchen with whatever I'm cooking. She also really likes going over to Uncle Tyrell’s house
and playing with the kids, she hates being left out. Whenever anyone leaves or
she knows someone is leaving she grabs her shoes and wants to go with them, she
loves being on the go. This crazy girl loves “talking” on the phone, which I
find ironic because she wants actually talk haha. She grabs it from me, puts it
on her ear and just smiles away. She also loves “playing” on the computer just
like her big brother…I will find her on the couch with my computer pulled onto
her lap, cutest thing ever. She has never really been a big fan of watching TV
but has recently started bringing the remote control to us wanting to watch it;
maybe we need to take a break from electronics! She still loves all the dang
stray dogs around here. She stands at the back dog and gets so excited when she
sees them. She is also beginning to love cats, especially Boaz’s cute little
kitten! Waving hi and goodbye are becoming normal to her, as well as shaking
her head yes and no to answer us. She is so fun!! We love this little girl!
