Happy 1st Birthday Kellyn!

Kellyn loves singing, especially "Happy and You Know It" and "God Made the Big Round Sun". She even does most of the motions along with Mommy, except when other people are watching of course. She loves reading books, but is very picky about which one to read next. She also loves to play with her brother's cars much to his dismay. Kellyn loves to play outside, and cries when you take her out of a swing.

She's toddling around, but still working on being able to walk everywhere. She loves visitors, and has some speical friends at church that she goes to immediately and never wants to leave.  

We love her more than any other 1 year old girl in the whole world.

This is serious

I was on duty in the nursery during the worship service the week before last and was talking to Kellyn who was playing a toy. Alyna, who was playing with a baby doll, came around from behind my chair and said, "You're waking my baby up." Then she balled her fists in front of her and said in a stern, serious voice, "This is serious."

I laughed and played along with her, hushing Kellyn. And the scene repeated itself several times as Kellyn wouldn't stop making loud, happy noises playing with her toy.

Tonight I finally remembered at dinner to tell Barry about it, and he laughed and asked her, "What does serious mean?"

Alyna replied, "Mommy was waking my baby up, and that was serious." Again she balled her fists in front of her and used that stern voice, and we just laughed.


She's quite the little drama queen, and loves to dress up in her fairy dress and princess tiara.
