Oh! She's Getting So BIG!

Kensley changes all the time. In front of my face, behind my back, over time, and instantly. It is soooo wonderfully rewarding (and downright EXHAUSTING!) to be 'at home' with her.

Kensley blows kisses, smooooches and hugs us, plays with Libby, and works really hard on her words. You can see the little wheels just-a-spinning when she tries to repeat something or to sign it. She can sign and 'say' (very loosely) 'ALL DONE, THANK YOU, MORE, and MILK.' Kensley also nods her head appropriately in response to questions. She gives the impression that she really does get what is going on. (Wouldn't you, if the world revolved around you?) She is also quite the social butterfly.

As soon as Kensley started crawling, she was pulling up. She even attempted it a couple of times before crawling which made us suspect she would skip crawling...not so. EVERYONE has said that I would be sorry for wanting Kensley to be mobile. With as much respect as possible: that's just not true for me. I am so thankful for the milestones Kensley makes. Of course, I am much more tired at the end of the day, but at least we get this opportunity to see Kensley change so much in this special year! With all this said, here are some random pics that I have taken since we have been back. This mama-stuff is cool. She's EVERYWHERE!

Kensley plays up-down peek-a-boo on the barstools. And then zooms off from the barstools to play with the buffet only to return to the barstools!

Little Stinker likes to play around our table. She just cruises all around it with the chairs and the table, etc. That's all good and fine until she bonks her noggin. She IS learning to duck, and that is just funny. Here she is under the table peek-a-booing waaaaaay past bedtime, but she got to stay up to kiss Daddy goodnight after his class. They ended up wearing each other down.

BONK! I told you to duck! It hurts, but mostly makes her mad that she bonks her head. I totally feel her!

What's mine is yours. Share and share alike, Mama.Kensley likes to eat the grass...whatever.We LOOOOOOOOVE books! Pop-up and sing-alongs are the BEST!
