Here are some amazing pictures my sister-in-law Laura took of Kinnie. Laura is an amazing photographer! Kinnie was not very cooperative and yet Laura was still able to capture some great pictures of her. At first Kinnie was scared of the bright flash in the studio and then when she warmed up to that she had nothing to do with wanting to sit still for even a second. She just wanted to run around or look at the camera, anything besides sit where we needed her to. We would stand her on the couch and she would want to immediately get off and run around. Really, thanks to Laura we got some fun pictures. Of course we can't post them all so here are just a couple...

No Crying???...

I took Kinnie in for her flu shot today. I thought for sure she would cry and she didn't! I was stunned. I kind of looked at her like are you sure you don't want to cry? Go ahead, cry. You were just stripped of your pants, laid down on a weird table with weird tissue paper in a weird room and stabbed in the leg. It was kind of funny when the nurse was done, we just looked at each other and were both like well, that was easy. Even after picking Kinnie up to give her the comfort I thought she was going to need I thought maybe she would cry then. Kinnie did give her look she gives when she gets slightly hurt, she furrows her eyebrows and drops her jaw. But no tears. Unfortunately she has to get another 2nd part flu shot and her next set of vaccines in about a month, maybe she will want to cry then.


We are loving the weather. I keep thinking that it is colder then it is and am surprised at how warm it really is when we go outside. I love the colors of fall, they are so bright and warm. I am not looking forward to winter when it is so gray, and white and black...and cold and wet. At least we have the holidays to get us through it!

First Pet!!

Kinnie loves fish! I am not sure when it all started actually, but she loves them.

Here are some of the fish that she likes... She loves "One Fish, Two Fish," and in "Go Dog, Go" there is a page (shown in the picture) that has a little tiny fish on it that she always points to. She discovered her baby chew toy fish today too and is loving it. Kinnie is very good at making a fishy noise and signing fish.

We have watched Elmo's World a few times and she loves Dorothy the fish too.

So we decided last night that it was time for Kinnie to have her own fish. We headed to Petco, which was just as good as the zoo. Of course I didn't have my camera but I wish I would have so I could show you how much she loved it or was mesmerized by it.

Here are the things we bought.

Here is Kinnie watching Landon put everything in the fish bowl.

Here is Kinnie taking a look at her new pet.

Kinnie is loving her new fish (Pez or Mr. Fish) we can't decide. She had been awake for about 5 seconds this morning and started making her fishy noise and signing fish so we went and said good morning to the fish. She was so happy to see it again. She has been waving to it all day.
