Owens Updates: Adventures

Kinsley has been having a lot of fun adventures in the last week. On Thursday she learned to lick her ice cream instead of using her spoon. She had a blast and would clap and say "yay!" each time. We are still working on getting the video transferred from Michael's phone.

This weekend we put up our Christmas tree. Kinsley had fun putting some ornaments on the branches but was more interested in trying to get into the ornamnet tub. After decorating the tree we took her to see Santa. While we waited in line she made friends with another little girl. She was very excited when we could see Santa in his chair and kept saying, "Ho, Ho". Of course this led to a screaming and crying meltdown once she got to sit on Santa's lap!! They took the quick picture and Kinsley signed "all done" until we were out of the Santa area. We then went to another store in the mall, and while we were walking down the hall she began saying, "Ho, Ho" again and in the store wanted to wear her reindeer antlers. Hopefully she'll feel a little more friendly next year when she understands it more.

Outside of those adventures we've just been enjoying time at home watching the snow and the birds and deer in our backyard. Kinsley still spends most of her time playing with her babies, and even has her baby sign "more" when she's pretending to feed her. She also likes to help mommy out by dusting and throwing wrappers away in the trash can. We definitely loving this age and counting down the days until Winter Break when we get to have a lot of days at home!
