Kherington Lately

31 months old & insists on books for her monthly pictures 

Such a silly little girl

Kherington is now 31 months old!  She weighs 28 lbs, 14 oz and is 37 inches tall.

She loves her sis so much
Ellie had to join for a picture

She is still her smart and sassy little self.  She continues to amaze us with what she is capable of doing/understanding as well as the words and phrases she is using.  It has been a good awareness to really watch what we say.

Love her style :)

Such a big girl feeding herself

Typical first child trait, she is very independent and wants to do a lot by herself.  She is like her Mama and Daddy and gets frustrated easily, so we are working to remedy this both for Kherington and for us.  We are working on getting her to associate how and what she is feeling with a word, and then getting her to speak her words when she is upset instead of lashing out and/or crying.  It is a work in progress.  I wish she had not inherited this, as it is not a pleasant trait.  Karma!

She is still working on becoming more and more potty trained and is doing so well.  Even staying dry at school for naps and most nights {although she is still in a diaper for naps and bedtime at home}.  We had a slight step backwards two weeks ago when she had a stomach bug while Grandma and Pops were watching the girls when Mama and Daddy were in Vegas, but she is rebounding quickly.

Our little superstar

Mara started back to school last week as well, so K is very excited to have her best friend back with her daily.  I love seeing these two interact together.  They are too sweet.

I will leave the rest of this month's update via pictures.
