Our Growing Girl!

Kinley's growing up so fast and this summer she is doing so many "big kid" things, just wanted to note that this summer she is having a ball doing 3 of her favorite things that make Momma and Daddy so happy and proud and also a little sad to know she is growing up so fast.

3 New Things Kinley can do this summer:

1. Swim - a few weeks ago something "clicked" and Kinley can swim across the pool without her floaties - it is awesome to see this little "fish" in the water!

2. Color (for real) - of course she has been able to hold a crayon in her hand and mark on a paper for a long time, but this summer she has really taken care to want to stay in the lines and have the entire picture colored perfectly. Almost every morning she wakes up and before she can even make it to the breakfast table or to the bathroom she is literally BEGGING Momma or Daddy to get the crayons down.

3. Write her letters - she has been able to write several of her letters for awhile (like the ones in her name), but now it is an ongoing project for her to ask anyone and everyone she can how to spell things so she can write them in her notebook. Usually it is people's names but sometimes it is random other words. Along with this I also have to note that she came in all excited today because her daddy had just "gotten her another iPad!" :) It was funny because she was excited about the new "notepad" he had given her to write her letters, which for this 3 year old is way more exciting than an actual iPad - such a cute mix-up!

Here is a pic of the names she wrote last week on our trip!
