Our Little Cowgirl ~ Almost 17 Months Old

Kimbri found this cowgirl hat on the bottom shelf in our bedroom closet a while back, and now she always goes to there and gets it and likes to wear it around. 


Some other things that Kimbri does lately (at almost 17 months old):

-When her food is all gone she raises one hand way in the air and spreads her fingers all apart, motioning that "it's all gone gone". Haha.

-She randomly walks on her tip-toes around the house. 

-When we turn on the Christmas tree lights and the lights on top of the piano, she says, "ooooo" - but in a super high pitched girly voice. I can't describe how cute and funny it is with words.

-Kimbri has always loved to "read" books. When she was younger she wouldn't really let me read the books to her, she just wanted to flip through the pages and look. But now she loves to bring me one book at a time from off the book shelf and we read them! She's a little bookworm! I love sitting down and reading with her. Lately, however, there has become less and less room on my lap due to my ever-growing belly. Baby Garrett needs to hurry up and make his debut! 

-Whenever something is baking in the oven, I'll turn on the oven light and she loves to look through the oven window and see what's in there. I think she knows now that whatever is in the oven eventually comes out and she gets to eat it! 

-Her favorite food is probably bananas. She absolutely positively LOVES bananas. Some other foods that she likes are oranges/clementines, apple slices, grilled cheese sandwiches, green beans, mashed potatoes, and pasta with red sauce! -Just to name a few. She won't really eat chicken. I guess it's maybe the texture? If I discreetly mix it in with a bite of mashed potatoes or something then sometimes she'll eat it, but not always.  And of course, she loves cookies! She usually gets spoiled and Grandma's house with those :)

-Kimbri has always been a pretty good sleeper. She is almost 17 months now and she usually goes to bed around 6:30pm (sometimes sooner and sometimes later), and sleeps anywhere from 12 to 14 hours... which is great! But she only takes usually one nap during the day. And it totally varies, sometimes only 45 minutes and sometimes 2 hours!

-She loves to wear her "prettys'" a.k.a. any sort of necklace or bracelet. I used to keep my jewelry box on a lower shelf but recently Kimbri has discovered it and can open the drawers and get things out. She would always go straight for the drawer with my bracelets in it and put them on her arms and show me.  I had to move the box to a higher shelf but I got our a couple bracelets for her to have and play with. She also loves to put on all the beaded Mardi Gras necklaces at Grandma Haycock's house!

-For some reason Kimbri loves to put things in and out of boxes, tupperware, bags, etc... Lately she has had so much fun with these little colorful bear figurines that go with a book that my mom gave her. She loves putting all the bears in any sort of container and then getting them out, and repeating the process over and over! 

-And of course Kimbri loves to go visit Grandma's house in Spanish Fork and Salem! Along with all of her many aunts and uncles! Kimbri, you are loved by SO many people! And we all love you so SO much!!! 

Our little girl is growing up so fast! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I love you Kimbri with all my heart!
