A lot to learn!

I guess Kenna has decided that there is just too much to learn and experience in this world and she needs to accomplish as much as possible in a short amount of time. She has had a very eventful weekend.

On Friday, she decided that it was time to sit up all on her own. I am still not quite ready to leave her there for very long, because she has taken several tumbles, but she is getting better and better everyday. She is really trying to catch herself when she leans too far to one side and has gotten to where she is fairly good at it!

Friday evening, she started working on her first tooth. We have been wondering if she has been teething forever (she drools constantly and is chewing on things nonstop) and she finally decided to show us what she had been working on! Her second tooth decided to join in on the fun on Saturday and she is about to be able to show off her brand new bottom teeth. They are both still poking through but I can definitely feel them and I can see them when she lets me hold her mouth open. Hopefully I will have some pictures of my baby girl's first teeth soon.

Kenna's cousin, Jackson, made his appearance on Friday night. We are going to try and go visit soon so Kenna can meet one of her new playmates. She is going to have to get used to playing with boys when she is at home. Good thing she has Abbye on the other side of the fam, so she can have some tea parties. Maybe JD, Luke, and Jackson will play dolls every now and then!

Sunday afternoon, Miss K was invited to her very first birthday party. Kenna got to see Vaughan, the one-year-old birthday boy and Andrew, both sons of guys Daniel works with. She loved hanging out and watching the older kids play, but she was just a little too small to join into all the festivities. Maybe next year....


Sunday night, Kenna had peas for the first time. At first she wasn't too sure what to think about them and kept looking at us with a very skeptical look on her face. She ate about half but was then tired of the peas and ready for her normal cereal. Tonight she did much better and just kept eating and eating. I guess she just needed to adjust to the fact that the vegetables tasted a little different.

Kenna fell asleep a little after 8 last night and slept until 8 this morning...don't you think you would be tired after all of that?

I definitely would be... but I am with her on the peas the first time... YUCK!

Congrats on the first teeth. Come see us sometime so we can see them for ourselves!

Ya Hoo for teeth! Now comes biting, brushing, cavities, dentist, root canals, tooth fairies...:)

Yay for peas! JD loved peas when he first had them. He probably thought they were a big improvement over watery rice cereal. I'm glad that Kenna has some pearly whites popping through! Too fun!

She sure is advancing quickly. Brayden just now got his teeth. I never could get him to eat peas. I love her pics with the peas, not so sure about them.

Man, I can't believe she's sitting up and getting teeth! So big! And I too don't blame her for not liking peas!

Just wait until it is time for beets! For Leslye, the beets went down and the beets came right back up !!!! Can't blame her. Uncle Rick would not blame Kenna for not liking peas; that's about the only food he will not eat!
