Kensley is growing more each day. Almost gone are the three-month clothes it seemed she would never grow into. At this particular moment, Kensley fits into three-six month clothes, and some six-month onesies. She is very long. "That blonde hair" (as everyone seems to call it) is still growing long and wiley and hasn't seemed to turn loose. (If that were the case, she would TOTALLY be Mike's twin!)
Aside from physical growth, Kensley just "talks" up a storm and shows a great deal of emotion when she notices people. She is very social when she is safely in the arms of Mama or Daddy. She isn't quite sure what to think of others holding her, until she has had a chance to warm up to them. I am assured this is a healthy quality, although perplexing to two mostly outgoing parents. Kensley has shown an interest in toys and as soon as she gives them the stare-down, they go directly into her mouth for a taste-test. It is so cute to see her exploring her world!
Is she rolling over yet? Well, not really. Kensley rolls to her side. I believe that, since she doesn't love tummy time, she isn't willing to roll the other quarter of the way to be on her tummy. She will, however, roll and push so she can situate her body to see something of interest. Kensley loves to stand. She looks like a mini-toddler when she does this!
We have put Kensley in her booster highchair (we don't have a traditional highchair) when Mike and I eat. Kensley sits and watches and participates in the conversation until we are mostly done. She seems to like her seat, but has no desire to give up her current nourishment for table food.
