Fun With Friends ~ Day 231

Today Chad had his band buddies over so that they could watch a video of their gig from Saturday night. Since it was Wednesday, Kensington's friend Neela came over too. When I bought the witches hat for Kensi, I also got one to give to Neela. The girls had some fun with them!

Little Witch ~ Day 230

Of the good variety of course!

We went to Target this morning. We both needed to get out of the house. When we got there we each got a treat. Mommy got a Pumpkin Spice Latte (heaven!) and Kensington got some popcorn (LOVE Target popcorn). After being a good girl and staying in the cart, helping me pick out birthday and anniversary cards, and fret over what was the best deal on diapers, I told her she could pick out a little something @ the dollar section. This witches hat was the first thing we spotted and she loved it instantly!

She actually got mad on the way home b/c she couldn't put the hat on while she was sitting in the car seat! The rim hit the back of the seat and consequently it wouldn't sit on her head right, instead falling over her face. Thankfully Mommy was thinking on her toes (thanks Latte) and started playing Peek-A-Boo with her. She kept hiding under the hat and then lifting it up to say "Peek-A-Boo!" At this point she was still in love with the hat, but not amused with the idea of me taking any pictures. She was, however, amused that she now had a hat just like the Halloween Barbie Gigi got her!


This is after a nap gone sour. She keeps waking up crying after sleeping just a short time. I know she feels crummy but I think she is missing her Binky too. She hasn't mentioned Binky though, which is a good thing.Oh and guess who is having trouble throwing the Binkies away? I just can't part with them for some reason. Yet another milestone surpassed. My baby is growing up way too rapidly!

Shake Your Booty ~ Day 229

Kensington loves to dance. Anyone who knows her, knows that! Her Mommaw and Poppaw recently got her a pretty cool Halloween card that plays "Shake Your Booty". Today Kensi requested to see it so I took it down off of the mantle.She really enjoyed dancing around to it =) Don't ya just love her little Retro outfit?


I wanted to share a little something cute that happened today. Kensington was in her highchair with a snack. I was asking her a question (I don't remember what). She looked @ me, shooed me away and said "Go lay down!" How funny is that? She has been hitting @ the dogs lately when she has a snack b/c she is afraid they are gonna take it from her. So I have been trying to teach her to tell them to "go lay down" rather than hit. I guess she got the message....sort of?


Also she has just been amazing me more and more lately with her verbal skills and understanding. I can't believe I can have a full out conversation with my daughter now... and she understands most everything I say! I don't know why this blows me away, but it does. For example she told me later today that she was hungry.

"I'm hungry Mommy"

B/c she has a sore throat and hasn't felt well I offered her some ice cream. This is something she never turns away.

"No. Not ice cream" she said. "Cereal!!"

How I have waited for the day when she could tell me what she needed instead of me having to figure it out. It was so nice to hear her tell me not only that she was hungry, but exactly she was hungry for! I am just as proud as can be.

Restless Night ~ Day 228

Kensington had a rough night sleeping last night, waking frequently b/c she was stuffy and couldn't breathe well. She was more than willing to curl up on the couch to watch some TB with Mommy. I was very grateful, b/c a restless night for Kensi = a restless night for Mommy too!

The Wonderful Weekend ~ Day 227

Brenden got his new loft bed delivered this week. Kensi loves going into his room even more now than ever. I think this is just a precious photo of them.Daddy's band played tonight, so Papa and Gigi drove down to babysit. They brought a pumpkin and carved it with the kids. Kensington really liked Gigi's hat!

Getting Ready For Halloween ~ Day 226

Today I decided it was time to get out some of our fall decorations. It is so neat b/c this year Kensington is noticing and is interested in everything.She really liked this Jack -O-Lantern. When her daddy and I were dating he sent me flowers in it on Sweetest Day.

Pretty Fall Day ~ Day 225

Enjoying a nice fall afternoon outside while Daddy cut the grass.
