Kensley turned one on January 29th. I can't believe my little baby girl is one now! Matthew was still out of town for her birthday but Austin and I celebrated with her. Austin helped her open presents in the morning and then later in the day we made cupcakes together and decorated them with frosting and sprinkles. We sang happy birthday to Kensley and let her have her very first one. She really had not had any type of sweets until then so I wasn't sure what she was going to do with it. At first she just poked at the frosting but once she realized she could eat it she dug in. She loved it and wanted more once hers was finished!
I feel like she has just grown up so fast these last few weeks. Here are some of the things we love about her right now:
-She's always willing to give us hugs.
-She loves books and always begs us to read to her
-She has the craziest baby teeth I have ever seen. They are all so crooked! I mean really crooked. And I'm not sure if she has 7 or 8 teeth because two of them are conjoined. Two of her bottom teeth are connected. The dentist says he sees that in babies about once a month or so. It could mean that she might only have 3 permanent bottom teeth instead of 4. When she gets a little older we will be able to tell in an xray.
-She has been learning sign language and can sign more, all done, water, ball, sleepy and cat.
-She is a super fast crawler. She loves to walk along furniture but hasn't even thought of trying to let go and walk by herself.
-However, she is a climber! Austin wasn't much of a climber but this little girl can get up on anything.
-Some of her favorite things to do are peekaboo, dancing to songs, and putting things into a bowl.
-She gives a cute cheesy smile that we all love!
-She takes two naps during the day and is sleeping through the night perfectly!
-Most of the time her priority is to get whatever Austin is holding or playing with. Poor guy, always trying to play until she comes and wrecks it all.
-She loves ducks and always points them out when she sees them.
-Her first words are duck and dada.
-She always giggles when we take off her clothes and crawls to the bathtub. She loves bath time and is a splasher.
