Miss K, The Energizer Bunny

I know I keep posting video with Miss K but, seriously, how can you avoid recording such a cutie?!?

Kenna has a jumper that she has at Mrs Cindy's so she can play when she is there for the day. This weekend I picked up a jumper from my friend Kim, who let us borrow their jumper so Kenna could have one at home as well. (I know, she is already spoiled). She is absolutely loving it and she does it ALL DAY LONG. She just bounces and bounces. Daniel said that today, even when she would get hungry or ready for a nap, she would just keep jumping until he decided it was time for a change of scenery. She just keeps going and going and going.....

Of course, when Daddy is in charge of the video camera, you have to be prepared for any possibility....even a close up of Miss K's mouth.

I just wish I had that much energy!!

Laughing Baby

Last night I was giving Miss K a bath. She has always loved lounging in the tub, but now it is a lot of fun to sit up and play! She was playing with a fireman rubber ducky and I was 'attempting' to make a siren noise when her daddy walked in from mowing the grass. He makes much better noises than I do!! Yes, he is kinda loud, but aren't all fire trucks? I can't see this and not laugh out loud. I especially like when she decides to make herself more comfortable by laying her head on the side, so she can laugh some more....

Kenna the Power Roller

It has officially started. Kenna no longer stays where we put her. A few nights ago, I laid Miss K down while I went to fix her cereal. When I looked up, she had rolled off her mat and was in the middle of the living room floor. I took her picture and then went to finish getting her dinner ready, and apparently, she kept moving! I guess it is time to start childproofing my house.

This picture is for Dara and Mandy...love the outfit!

Here is the promised video of the blowing bubbles and the pacifier, once again she had rolled around the room and was over by the edge of the swing. I hope you can hear her blowing bubbles!

A cute after bath before bottle grin....
I guess all that rolling just wore her out! She couldn't even stay awake long enough last night to finish her bottle....

Kenna's new tricks

Kenna is learning several new tricks these days. Her favorite right now is her new noise, a high-pitched squeal - and it is up there!! She just laughs and laughs when she does it. I tried to catch it on video, but what I actually got recorded does not do justice to what she has recently learned.

Saturday morning, Kenna got all dressed and ready for the A&M football game later in the day, but I think she has it out for that onesie, because she spit-up ALL over it and we had to change her clothes (last week she pooped on it). No comments please on how that correlates to how the Aggie football team has been playing. :)

After we changed her clothes, she went down for a nap. She slept for a couple of hours, but then I could hear her talking. When I went in to get her up, she had her feet propped up on the bumper of the crib and was trying to put the pacifier in upside down. By the time I got the camera, she had put her feet back down and had the pacifier in even though it was wrong side up...doesn't she look cute!



Her other new trick involves blowing bubbles while keeping the pacifier in her mouth with her gums. As soon as I can catch that on video, I will post it....it is pretty funny....she is quite talented when it comes to her pacifier skills!

Piece of Advice

Don't watch P.S. I Love You when your husband is away at work and you are home alone with the baby.....too emotionally draining!

Good movie, though.

Who needs a pacifier...

when you have a thumb?

From the time she was born, Miss K has always had her hands by her mouth. We are frequently pulling her hands down and putting her pacifier in to try and avoid the thumb-sucking habit (I just think the paci habit would be easier to break). I think we are fighting a losing battle and she is just destined to suck her thumb.

I took this picture yesterday morning. I was getting ready for work and she started fussing a bit so I ran in, put her pacifier in her mouth, and she went right back to sleep. When I went to get her up and get her ready to go to Mrs Cindy's, this is what I found.... This past weekend, she tried to suck her thumb and eat from her bottle all at the same time. I will have to get a picture of that!

Brushing her teeth?

Kenna and I have had a lot of fun in Muleshoe. She is enjoying all of the attention she is getting from grandparents and great-grandparents, along with everyone else she sees. She just grins and grins!

Friday night, Abbye came to spend the night with us so her parents could get some things done at home. Miss K and Abbye had a lot of fun together. We would lay them on the floor/bed beside each other and they would just play and play. Of course, Kenna would rather be on her tummy so she always found a way to roll over. Sometimes that meant she was almost laying on her cousin, but I don't think that either one of them minded!

My grandmother came out on Saturday night and helped with bath time and feeding. Kenna showed off her cereal eating skills and then we bathed and fed both girls. At one point, my mom was feeding Kenna and Mama was feeding Abbye - they looked like they were in heaven!

When we were getting ready to go to church last night, we picked up Kenna's hairbrush to work on her hair. As she does with everything else these days, she reached out, grabbed the brush, and put it in her mouth. We had to grab the camera because it looked like she was trying to brush her non-existent teeth!

We are headed home this afternoon - I think Kenna is missing her daddy!!
