Kempton: 11 Months

I really cannot believe that Kempton will be a year old in just another month! I definitely think this year has gone by super quickly!

Kempton usually goes to bed around 8-8:30 and sleeps untill 7-8 in the morning.

He loves eating now and loves just about anything that we eat. He especially likes chicken, green beans, oranges, pancakes and chicken noodle soup

He wears 9-12 month pants and 12-18 month shirts

Kemp wants to do everything like his big brother and gets mad if we take something away from him.

He wants any toy that Cohen has and is pretty aggressive about it : /

This month Kempton has become quite the climber! He can climb all the way up the stairs and likes climbing onto Cohen's bed.The other day we put couch cushions on the floor just so he could climb on them. Definitely looking into some sort of climbing thing for him for his birthday.

Kemp loves music and starts clapping every time he hears it

He still enjoys taking everything out of a bin or a box and sometimes putting it back ;)

He is still loving baths and crawls to the bath every time he hears the water running in there.

He loves to smile and loves seeing us when we go to pick him up from daycare

Kemp hates getting his diaper changed, especially after a bath

He can say "da da" and "ma ma" and "ya"

Looking handsome on Thanksgiving with Daddy

It looks like someone ate too much of the Thanksgiving feast!

Kempton has learned how to climb on this chair and usually stands up on it. EEK!

Apparently he can get the cover off of the puff container....Lesson learned!

Staring down some pancakes!

He just LOVES the bath!

Cuddling and wrestling with dad!

Oh my goodness!

I love this picture. Captured it perfectly. Looks like Kempton is ready to sword fight!

And then he wiped out!

Anything can be turned into a train (or a sword!)

 Kemp loves crawling onto Cohen's bed and actually turns around and slides down most of the time.

:)

Here are a few videos...

I just like his talking in this one...

He is getting really mad at the tape that is stuck on his hand (Cohen kept trying so hard to make a circle on the ground with tape and Cohen would rip it off right away. I was trying to help Cohen too, and I wasn't fast enough for Kempton!)

 

Here is a video of him walking...

 

And I love this video of him so calmly trying to stand the toys up...Such a sweet and smart boy...

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

This week/weekend we set up our Christmas tree and got pictures with Santa! We all love Christmas and I already feel like time is running out, and it will be here so soon!

Cohen LOVED setting up the Christmas tree and looking at all the Christmas decorations. I just loved watching him get so excited about everything. Kempton also had a great time , but was a little more destructive! Haha. He was ripping off ornaments, lights and beads off the tree, but having a fun time, of course! In Kemp's defense a lot of our ornaments look like toys and he's never seen a Christmas tree. :)

 Cohen has been obsessed with these singing M & Ms! I don't think Dan would mind if we lost them soon. :) Cohen sings, "have a holly, jelly Christmas" instead of "Holly, Jolly" haha! And I love how Kempton is clapping.

And this one....oh being a big brother :)

Cohen loves anything that plays music and dances around, which is why he loved these two silly snowmen.

 :)

 I just realized that I didn't take a picture of the finished tree yet! Oh well, here's a picture Cohen took for us...not bad! Our stockings are not up yet as we need to rearrange the living room before we put them up and that was too much to tackle this weekend!

Our visit to Santa went really well. There was no line which was great. Cohen was shy at first and kept putting his hands in front of his face to hide. He eventually (after prying it out of him) told Santa that he wants the blue ninja turtle so hopefully Santa gets it for him! Kempton was as sweet as can be. He just sat there so calmly and kept looking at Santa.We bought the package with all the digital pictures so enjoy....

Also, this weekend Santa sent an elf to watch over the boys! The elf then goes to the North Pole each night to tell Santa if the boys have been nice. More to come on that, but Cohen decided to name his elf, Cheeks! :)
