Kempton: 15 Months

Here is a delayed update on our 15 month old!

Height: 31 inches (50th percentile)

Weight: 23lbs 1oz (50th percentile)

Diapers: Size 4 Pampers

Clothes: 12-18 month pants and 12-24 month shirts

Food: Kempton LOVES fruit! Bananas are his favorite, but he also loves blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, oranges/clementines and grapes. He also loves chicken nuggets but lately hasn't been touching foods that he used to eat (just as the doctor predicted at this age)

Kempton also loves cheese. I bought some "cracker cuts" which is just slices of block cheese. He will go to the fridge and grab out the container, walk to the living room and sit down and ask us to open it....All. The. Time! Haha.

Words: Dada, Mama, Thank you, banana, more, milk, belly, bye bye, hi, mickey, book ( you may not understand them necessarily....except for nana for banana!)

Kempton loves dancing and clapping to the music

He likes to watch the shows, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sheriff Callie's Wild West

Kempton loves being a little helper. He likes to help with laundry and cooking in the kitchen

He likes playing with trains, stacking blocks, playing with annimals and cars. 

Kempton loves to play with anything anyone else is playing with and gets quite aggressive if he wants it. We are working on saying please if he wants something... :)

He loves his bus slide that he got for Christmas and loves slides at the park.

He really just loves being outside doing anything...walks, playing with a ball, etc.

Kemp loves to run and pretend to scare you

Kemp can point to his nose and mouth when asked to

He LOVES to look at books and will often grab a book and sit down in our laps

He gives the best hugs! :)

He has the biggest, cutest smile and still wakes up happy. He never cries when he gets up. He will just talk until someone comes to get him.

He likes to use a spoon or fork to eat and is pretty good at it!

Pretending to be Ironman

Kempton absolutely loves his big brother. Melts my heart... :)

Kempton is fearless...(eek!)

 (

I felt so bad because I put their books in the corner where Kempton couldn't really reach them and I didn't even realize it. I moved it now, and Kempton LOVE picking out books to look at.

 :)

 Kemp still loves bath time!

Pajama day at daycare!

 LOVE!

So this is what happens when I take a shower (not all the time)....

Our little ninja in training....

 Dan was having a conversation with Cohen in their room and Kempton was upset that he was left out and concerned that Cohen was crying and upset. Sweet buddy.

 

 Hanging out at the mall

 Looking out the window at Daddy!

 Kempton's favorite book

I posted these pictures other places but think it is hilarious. Cohen and Kemp just got new electronic toothbrushes. Cohen was showing Kempton how to use it.....

 ...then Kempton did this! Haha. He obviously didn't catch on right away.

And some videos......

Giggling and playing with Cohen...

Kemp playing... I love how Cohen says "Kempton is too busy" after Kemp ignores me! haha 

A little bit of Kemp's latest dance move...the side step

And a little more side stepping and a little butt shakin' at the end. ;)

 Kempton  is growing up so quickly and learning so many new things. I know that this is going to be a fun and exciting summer and this kiddo will keep us busy!!

Love, 

Katie

Sheriff Callie's Wild West

Along with loving Ninja Turtles and super heroes he also loves Sheriff Callie's Wild West on the Disney channel. It is a fairly new show that both of the kids like. Plus Dan and I are ok with it too! :)

Here are some quick videos...

Dancing to and singing the theme song

And here he is singing part of a song from the show. He says, "Toby says achoo and that's not really trueeeee."

And the same song, but the "overtired" version

And the overtired but a little quieter version!

Love, 

Katie

Kempton: 14 Months

Kempton is 14 months old today!

He wears size 4 Pampers

He wears 12-24 month shirts and 12-18 month pants

He usually goes to bed around 8-8:30 and sleep until 6:30-7:30

He will usually nap once at daycare and then fall asleep on the way home. When we spend the day at home he will usually only take one nap

Kemp stopped using bottles this month! It is is so refreshing to not have to wash them :)

He likes to eat mostly anything. Right now he especially likes blueberries, oranges/clementines, green beans, pancakes, chicken nuggets, yogurt and crackers

Kemp has 4 teeth on top and 4 teeth on the bottom and a bottom molar coming through. 

He is so smart and learns things quickly. He especially loves to do anything that Cohen is doing. 

Kempton loves mickey mouse and and shows with music in them!

He still loves balloons and playing with trains, cars and balls

Kempton has made huge strides in his communication this month! He still likes to sign please, but will now also say mama, dada,  "mi" for milk, "mo" for more, yah,  nigh nigh, and  ba for ball and bye

Kemp loves blowing  kisses and waving bye-bye especially to his friend, Alice at daycare :)

Here are some pictures of our little buddy....

 Reaching for chocolate!

 Kemp signing please

 Big guys eating at their tables

 Kempton loves looking out the window!

 He still loves bath time. His favorite part is sitting in there while the water fills up. He will then take a cup and keep filling it up with the running water. 

 Eating at Chick-Fil-A..one of his favorite places!

 I was walking back into the house one day, to look up and see this!

 Kempton loves walking everywhere now! This was from our trip to the zoo a couple weekends ago when we had some refreshing warmer weather!

 He is obviously drooling quite a bit... haha

 I went to check on Kemp after he laid down for the night and found him like this. :)

 Playing trains with Daddy

 Kempton wants to be independent and is pretty feisty if he wants something

 Kempton wanted to go upstairs the other day. Cohen opened the "gate" for him and Kempton turned around and walked away. I thought it was strange since he usually goes up there quickly as he can, but then I realized what he was doing. He had turned around to grab Ninja Turtle toys before heading up there! What a smart cookie!

 Cohen wanted some more snack the other day after he ate all of his. I told him to ask Kempton if he would share. So the above picture is when Cohen was asking him...

 ..and you can tell what Kemp's answer was! He is so sweet. Kempton is really good at sharing, but also thinks that everyone else should share as well, and if they don't then he'll make them share. ;)

 Kempton really loves his big brother!

 Kempton played in the snow for the first time this month!

 (this didn't last long!)

 I tried not to get him attached to a blanket, but he kept taken Cohen's so we bought him some. He  loves his blankies.

 Kemp still wakes up happy! He will barely make any noise in his crib and some times we won't even hear him but go in the room for something else and be shocked to see him standing there. Every time I walk into his room he will reach down, grab his blanket and hand it to me, then reach his arms out for me to pick him up. If I am lucky I will even get some extra cuddles like in the picture above. :)

 Watching some TV before heading to daycare. Earlier today Cohen was sitting on the floor like this but Cohen didn't want Kempton to sit by him. Cohen kept getting up and moving and Kemp kept following him. Eventually it be came a game and both of them were laughing hysterically.

Kempton is still a daddy's boy, but will prefer me for some things

 Wrestling with Cohen

 Trying to get up the stairs. Our "gate" doesn't really work but at least it slows him down a bit!

 Haha..a quick, off-center bad picture but he was so cute. I had to take it quickly because he was standing on a pack of paper towels which made me nervous!

 Listening to the book his cousins, Hannah and Tyson recorded for him. He loves it!

Still picking on Cohen! ;)

And some videos...

 Cohen smoochin' on Kempton, Kemp blowing kisses and then waving :)

 Dancing today while eating lunch (yes they are still in their jammies....oh well!)

Wresting with Cohen today

Kempton is an amazing little fella. We are so lucky to have such a sweet, funny, adorable little boy in our family. We love you, Kempton!

Love, 

Katie
