Good morning

It's been a little while...I wanted to share a fun little routine of Kinley's with you...


Most mornings, Kinley wakes up around 6:30 and ideally we'd love for her to sleep till 7.  So we've conviced her to sleep a little later if we bring her quietly into bed with us.


But not before she greets either one of us (usually Trent) with her favorite word...."DOG".  No, we don't own a dog, and she honestly doesn't see them that often, but if she hears one bark in the neighborhood or spots one in a book, she confidently says "dog" and signs it too!  So yes, this is how she wakes up most mornings.

Anyways, back to the little routine.  After telling us "DOG", we'll bring her in our bed and on a good morning she'll snuggle for a good 15-20 minutes longer.  This is one of my favorite parts of the day....snuggling with my baby and my man =)


When she's had enough snuggling, she'll sit up in our bed and sign and say "AHHH DAHHH" (interpretation = all done with hands twisting and shaking vigorously)

then promptly tell us what she wants next (and it's the same thing every day!)

"BAAA DAHHH" (interpretation = banana)

Makes me smile every day!

Hope you have a great day and go enjoy a BAH DAH =)
