I can't believe my little baby girl is 1 year old! The time just seems to be flying by. This past year has been so so so amazing having Kimbri in our lives. She is such a joy! I mean, come on, how can you not just adore this face? :)
Her facial expressions have always been so funny and unique, ever since she was a newborn. And her smile is so contagious. Whenever she smiles at me my heart just melts.
She is our little princess!
Some things that Kimbri likes to do lately:
-First of all, Kimbri finally walked! She took 4 steps just a couple of days ago on Sunday, July 22, 2012. She's been cruising all over the place along furniture, cabinets and walls but we've never gotten her to walk freely by herself. She also loves to push the stroller around and she also likes to push her little walking toy. She's only taken a few more steps since yesterday morning but I think now that she's done it a few times she'll get the hang of it pretty fast! Yay Kimbri!
-She loves to rip things up into tiny little pieces, really. For example, the two pictures below, a piece of foil had blown off the kitchen counter from the air of our swamp cooler and Kimbri of course found it. What did she do? She started to rip it up. And she kept ripping until the whole piece of foil was shredded into itsy bitsy pieces. After she was done, she lay down on the floor to rest because obviously ripping foil is hard work!
-She also loves to pretend talking on the phone; however, it doesn't have to be a phone to pretend to talk. She puts cheerios up to her ear, fake fruit like the banana at my parents house, toys, really anything and she starts to babble. It's really quite funny :) Also, notice the cell phone in the above pictures...that is one of Rick's previous old phones that still makes noises and such when you push buttons, which Kimbri likes, so that is now Kimbri's phone. And she loves it.
-Kimbri also loves bath time! I haven't snapped any pictures of her in the bath lately but her most recent thing to do in the bath is when I sit her down in her bath water she immediately flops over to her belly and starts pushing herself backward until she reaches one end of the tub. Then she turns around, still on her belly, and pushes herself to the opposite end. She repeats this over and over and over all while I'm trying to wash her body and what little hair that she has :) It makes bath time a bit more difficult but it's really cute and funny at the same time.
-Another thing Kimbri loves to do, as I'm sure any little child loves, is to play with bowls, pots and pans and measuring cups. I captured a few pictures below of Kimbri playing with our awesome colored bowls that my cousin Maryella gave us for our wedding! She likes to use a spoon or some other sort of utensil to play and tap on or in the bowls.
-Kimbri also likes to get in things and on top of things...like boxes, laundry baskets, etc. She loves to climb up on things. She's constantly on the go trying to climb inside her toy drawer and carseat. She's definitely quite the mover! She 's all over the place all the time and she loves it.
Kimbri has such a crazy and fun personality and is really the life of my day every day. I'm so so so grateful to have her in my life. I honestly can't imagine my life without her. We love you Kimbri Stone!
