This Week

Kenna has been growing so fast and doing so much that I feel like I can't post it fast enough. As soon as I figure out how to upload videos from our new camera I will put a bunch up, but for now pictures will have to do.

Kenna now knows a variety of animal sounds. It is very funny because when she sees a stuffed animal that she wants she will make its noise rather than say its name. She knows monkey, cow, horse, duck, elephant, pig, lizard, chicken, dog, lion and probably more that I have forgotten. There will be a video of that up soon.

She has also found a new way to enjoy her favorite food (olives). She sticks her finger through the hole and puts them in her mouth. We didn't even show her how to do that she just figured it out. I am constantly amazed at how much she figures out.



Thursday was really funny. I fed Kenna lunch and got her ready to go to the children's museum. I had to run upstairs to get some stuff and when I came out of my room she was sitting in her toy basket playing, just playing away. It was so cute that I just sat upstairs and watched her play for almost an hour before she got sick of it. She found a comb and brushed her hair, threw some balls, and danced to music. It is so weird to me to see my baby growing up. I love her - she is so sweet!

Today she started to pick something up off the floor and I told her it was yucky, so she picked it up and walked over to the trash and threw it away (we also tell her the trash is yucky). Also today, we started painting the outside of our house. We we letting her swim and walk around outside while we painted. I was up a ladder and she was walking around near me. I turned around to get off the ladder and she had climbed up the rungs! That's right - not a step ladder, a real ladder with rungs - and she was two rungs up. I jumped down to help her off, but the even more amazing thing was that she got herself down! She just stepped back down the rungs like it was no big deal.

Kenna has also taken to playing around in her crib. When we try to get her out she will crawl away and laugh and laugh. She bounces around, roll, kicks her legs and laughs at herself for a good ten minutes before she is ready to get out. Pretty cute. She is constantly entertaining.
