The latest on our Kensie


So what has been new with Kensie? Well, she got to meet a bunch of potential babysitters yesterday. For the most part, she was shy and quiet, but at least she didn't embarrass me by whining or crying while I tell the person "she is such a great baby... very easy to take care of!" The good news is we have a list of people to call when we want a date night, which is very important to our sanity!

Kensie has been sporting her fall fashions lately. I've put away her summer shorts and t-shirts for good. Usually it's jeans and a cute top. The Michigan sweatshirt didn't seem to help us against Iowa last night, but we can't hold that against her. If she looks a little teary, it's partly because of the loss, but also because she has a cold. Her first snotty, ooky, annoying cold. The hardest part is when we try to put her to bed, because I think she has trouble breathing through her nose...


This morning Daddy decided to wear Kensie like a hat! She loved it!


Other recent "milestones" are small, but still cool in my book. She has these flashcards of animals. We look through them at least 4-5 times a week. She can now find the one of the dog and she makes a barking sound. She does it on her own... brings me the card and barks! She is also walking a lot more on her own without prompting... which is a bit scary, because I think she wants to "walk" down stairs, too! When I tell her "no" she generally stops what she is doing, which is very useful. Forever the climber, she continues to use the elliptical as her own personal gym, and climbs through the bars and such like a mini gymnast.
