Happy Valentine's Day!

Love, The Poyers

Kinsey at 16 months

Wow how are you already 16 months old?  At times we still feel like you are a little baby… its easy since you still just have a little bit of baby fuzz hair and those 2 little baby teeth on the bottom… but then you do something like share your chocolate milk when we ask you to (actually its usually sissy’s chocolate milk that you took) or you help me clean up all the books that were left out.  You are very detail oriented and won’t stop until every book, or crayon, or toy is put away. 

Your language is all of a sudden booming.  You have been imitating so many new words and are starting to use some on your own.  All of them pretty much start with “d” and sound very similar but we can tell that it is a new word. My favorite is that you are saying mama all the time now.  Some of your new words are: banana (duh duh), Max (mah mah) for the show Max and Ruby, thank you (duh doo), yucky (uht), Grandma (guh guh), occasionally you say sister (dee dah), along with the words you’ve been using; Daddy (dah dah), that (dat), eat (tuh), toes (tuh), more (muh), done (clear as can be), down (dow), woof (oof), and roar (rrrr ) for lions, bears, and any other animal that can possibly growl) and I’m sure there are other words I’m not thinking of. 

At 16 months:

You love to eat! You eat just about everything but you don’t have a huge sweet tooth.  You will leave a cookie with only one bite out sitting on the table and run to a plate of peas.  You love meatballs, hotdogs, and chicken nuggets. You eat cheese sticks and yogurt faster than we can keep them in the house.  However, you really don’t like blueberries and the only way you like strawberries is dipped in ketchup.  We can thank your big sister for that!

You love your sister… and your daddy.  You will run after both of them before you come to Mommy most days.  You are so sweet about sharing with Ashlyn and she is just as sweet to you. 

You love to play with baby dolls. They are your favorite toy by far. You carry them around, push them in the stroller, cover them with blankies, and feed them over and over. 

You really love banging on mommy’s computer and are very sneaky in trying to find ways to get close to it when it is open.  

You can point to lots and lots of body parts and you love to show your tummy. Your favorite game is for mommy or sister to shout "Where's Kinsey's tummy!" and you race to lift your shirt!

You are hilarious.  If we ask “Are you silly?” You do this crazy little shake sticking your tongue out and being well.. Silly!  If we ask “are you funny?” you laugh.  You love to do silly things like eat your breakfast sitting on the ledge in the fridge, or practice walking in sisters dress up shoes. 

If we try to change your diaper you take off and hide giggling away.  You love to wear shoes and at times will walk around the house in nothing but a diaper and your little brown suede shoes. 

This by far has been my most favorite age! I love you Kinsey Sloane!
