Kimbri ~ 20 Months

Time flies. I feel like time didn't used to fly. Like back when I was a little kid... school years seemed to take forever! Even in high school each school year seemed so long. But since getting married and having kids, wow, time really does fly! 

Kimbri isn't a baby anymore. Sometimes she likes to be... like when she crawls into Garrett's bassinet (that also used to be Nolan's bassinet and on down). I was out in the front room with Garrett, holding and cuddling him, trying to kepp him happy. Usually if Kimbri leaves she goes and gets a toy or something and brings it back out to the front room. She hadn't come back and it had been a couple minutes so I stood up and went to check on her. 

This is how I found her! In the bassinet. 

At first it startled me, then scared me because I thought about all the possible ways she could've hurt herself trying to get in it, and then I laughed! And then I laughed again and ran to get my camera because I thought it was soooo hilarious. She was just hanging out, laying in the baby's bassinet! Ha! And apparently totally relaxed and enjoying the moment ;)

And yes, she has no clothes on. That is because so often when I get her up in the morning to change her diaper, I take her jammies off and get a clean diaper on and then she's had enough of laying on the changing table. So yes, I sometimes let her run around the house in only a diaper. She loves it so why not?! 

Anyway, I just can't believe that Kimbri is already 20 months. She'll be turning 2 years old this summer! 

Some things that Kimbri loves to do:

-Reading! She loves to look at books and I love to read to her. She's learning so much everyday and I think reading books has really helped her to learn different things. 

-She can make the sounds of soooo many different animals now. I don't think I could even list them all. 

-Kimbri is obsessed with the letter "B". My mom got her a DVD of several different shows and one of them is called Little Bill. On this particular episode Little Bill goes to school and learns about the letter "B". It totally messed up our practicing her ABC's. Haha! We had been practicing the letters A, B, and C. Now she thinks every single letter is "B". Oh well. She'll figure it out soon enough :)

-Kimbri also loves Dora the Explorer. That's what she likes to watch in the morning when we all get up and I'm having to feed both kids at the same time. However, Garrett obviously takes more of my attention when it comes to feeding. So I usually let Kimbri eat breakfast while she watches Dora so I can get Garrett fed and happy. She has learned several words from that show including: Dora, map, backpack (she says bapa), Boots (Dora's friend), and she knows who Swiper is (the fox). Anyway, my mom got Kimbri a pink Dora shirt and Kimbri is totally in love with it. I was dressing her this morning and went to put a shirt on her but when she saw her Dora shirt, that she wore yesterday, she went "uh!" and pointed to it. So she is wearing the same shirt two days in a row! Who cares?! I sure don't. I'm happy that she likes it so much. Haha!

-Some of Kimbri's favorite foods right now are bananas (of course - this has always been one of her favorites), peas, green beans, canned peaches and pears that Grandpa gives her, string cheese and turkey (the deli kind of turkey meat). She also likes crackers and pasta!

-Kimbri loves being outside. I'm excited that the weather is starting to get nicer so we can start going back to the park. She loved going to the park last summer/fall but she and I have both missed going on our daily walks to the park! 

-She loves bubbles. And both Grandma Stone and Grandma Haycock do bubbles with Kimbri. She loves it!

-Kimbri totally enjoys nursery. I think I've mentioned this little fact before on the blog but really... she is obsessed with nursery! And I'm glad that she loves going so much. It's good for her to interact with other kids her age, and the nursery leaders always tell us how good she does! I think she is especially good friends with one of the leaders, Sierra. After I picked her up from nursery yesterday we met up with Rick and Garrett and were walking out to the car when Kimbri saw Sierra walking across the same side of the parking lot and pointed toward her and belted out a very excited "Ah!" I'm grateful for fun, loving nursery leaders that take care of all those precious little children!

-And last but not least, Kimbri loves her little brother! She is so sweet to him and loves to give him kisses on his head. She's such a great big sister!

I LOVE YOU, KIMBRI!!!
