Counting!

The other night I handed Kynzley a lego and said "one" and she answered back "two, fee, our, ive!" Francis and I looked at each other and wanted to die (in a good way!!!!)!!!!!! We were stunned. We are so proud of her! *Of course when we tried to record her, she wasn't having it and kept telling us "NNNOOOO!!!" Tonight I was able to grab the camera, but she had already started so we only caught from two on :-)

Christmas #2

Christmas number two ... CHECK! We had our Twite family Christmas this past Saturday and it was a great time. We had everyone over for a pasta dinner and to watch the kiddies open their gifts. *I've been wishing for snow for Christmas and it was great to wake up Saturday morning with a pretty covering on the ground! (sadly, its gone now) Kynzley got all bundled up and played in it for a bit!

Christmas #1

We have started our Christmas season. This past weekend we traveled up north to celebrate. We visited Santa, he stopped in town for a bit, and helped grandma and grandpa, Tom and Amanda and Matt and Jess cut down their Christmas trees. After everyone found their trees we took a sleigh ride! Of course that was Kynzleys favorite part, she kept yelling "Neigh, Neigh!!!!!" Of course there was gift opening and lots of giggles!

 This is how well it went :-/

Kynzley was SUPER excited that grandpa and grandma got her her very own neigh, neigh!

Stylin' on the way home!

Lights

The lights are here!!! Friday night we headed down to see the Rotary lights (which seem to get prettier and prettier every year Ü). It's a tradition that Francis and I have done every year we have been together and last year we were able to include Kynzley. We walked through with her all bundled up in her baby carrier and this year she was once again all bundled up but able to walk through all by herself. She loved the lights and took her time walking through looking at all of them.

That time of year

We've hit that time of year: time change, darkness earlier, cold days and night and lots of time spent indoors. The last part is by far our biggest challenge. We've been trying to find lots of activities to make our time inside more enjoyable - hopefully we continue on this trend :-)

Kynzley and I have caught up on our baking,

have done LOTS of art projects,

Kynzley has even learned how to drive!

We've spent time with cousins,

and have tried to get in last minute outside time.

On days that we have nothing going on I've been letting Kynzley pick out what she would like to wear for the day. She does VERY well, I have to say :-)

This was her first full outfit she picked out!

*She also chose to wear the green and pink jammies in pic above*

Pretty tiny toes!

Kynzley got daddy to paint her toe nails on Saturday! Talk about daddy will do ANYTHING for his little girl Ü He did a great job! They were both pretty proud.

Pee Pee In The Potty!!

More pee pee in the potty! During her bath tonight she asked to get out and use the potty :-) It's still very random when she uses the potty, but exciting all the same! *She went through her hat drawer and this is the one she picked out to wear around for the evening :-)

(Nov. 1, 2011

A couple nights ago Kynzley BEGGED daddy to help her use the big girl potty, this meant completely stripping her down out of her footy pj's :-)
