Miss Kensley

Kensley is 18 months now.  She has really grown into her personality and definitely has her own opinions about things. She is getting really vocal and can say tons of words.  I think the cutest are waa-you (water), ah-tin (Austin) and errie-al (cereal).  Sometimes she tries to tell me something but I can't even decipher what she is saying and then she gets upset that I am not giving her what she wants.  She really loves animal sounds too.  Especially cow, horse, duck and donkey (we have a book about it). Her hee-haw is pretty darn cute! She also is really good at imitating different words or sounds people make.  She loves to try and copy anything Austin says.

I can't really name a favorite toy because what she loved to do best is doing daily things like trying on everyone's shoes, brushing her teeth, putting on necklaces and bracelets, pretending to clean, etc.  She also loves reading books and playing musical instruments.

She has become a really picky eater.  Sometimes it literally feels like she will only eat applesauce, cereal, cheese, fruit or crackers. But she has become really good with a spoon and fork and likes to eat just like Austin eats.  She has a huge sweet tooth though and begs for more if I bring out candy or cookies.

She loves to be involved with everyone but she also likes to go off and do her own thing. She is a mama's  girl and loves to be wherever I am.  She has just started nursery and loves it! However, I don't know how she would do without me because I am now the nursery leader :)    She can be a big tease sometimes but has this cute, little voice that is just so feminine and precious!

Her stats at 18 months are: 25 lbs (80th %) and 32 in. (65th %).

She loves playing with sand and water. She could scoop and pour all day.

We spent an evening in Salt Lake last weekend.  A random stranger took this picture of Kensley and was nice enough to email it to me. 

At the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake at their new splash pad.

Playing with play dough. She is so focused while playing sometimes. It's cute to see her concentrating so hard. 
We all just love this little girl so so much!

18 months?!? Wow! Just wanted to leave a comment letting you know at least once a week Sailor mentions that, "Austin is at his grandma's house, he can't come over. That's ok though, because I am going to go live with my grandma too." :) We miss you guys!
