11 weeks old

Kinslie and I at Trunk-Or-Treat

I look at this blog almost everyday and think to myself, "I should really update this." Well, I'm finally getting around to it. It's only been 4+ weeks. Kinslie turned 11 weeks old on Saturday (and that was the 2nd day of her life that I didn't take any pictures :( ) We were busy all day, and I told myself I would take some before I put her to bed, but I was so tired when we got home that I went straight to bed also.

Okay, so let's catch up on things since I've last posted. We went to Cassville, MO in October, and Kinslie really enjoyed her first jeep ride. So much so, that when we got back, she wouldn't nap anywhere but her carseat. :) She slept through most of the trip, but was awake for about the last half hour of jeeping. She was grinning from ear to ear.

I started back to work the Monday after we got back. It was rough the first couple of weeks, leaving Kinslie at daycare and going through the "adjustment" period with my class. All is better now, well, at least most of the time. I love Kinslie's daycare provider, she is so sweet and I know Kinslie is in good hands.

Alan's been deer hunting one weekend so far, but of course nothing is big enough. Maybe next time. I finally got the house cleaned on Saturday, with the threat of company coming over! That's all it takes sometimes. I just hope it can stay that way for awhile.

Kinslie is growing and growing and growing. At her 2 month appointment she weighed 11 pounds 13 ounces. She was 23 inches long. She got shots in both legs, and is not a fan of the nurses now. She thought they were so nice, talking to her and making faces. Then they stuck a needle in both legs and it took her about 2 seconds to figure out they were no longer friends. She screamed for 15 minutes before she finally fell asleep. She whimpered all night long, but was better by morning.

Kinslie gave me a week and a half of sleeping all night, but has been waking up once or twice the last 4 nights. Oh how I miss sleeping all night. :)

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving next week...and my 2 day work week!
Have a happy turkey day!
