Kenadie is just 2 months away from turning 1. I can't believe it! I say this everyday...time goes by so fast!
Kenadie has quite the personality. She makes me laugh all the time. She does the funniest things at the most random times. Sometimes she'll hit her head or her cheeks. When she hits her cheeks, she makes the O face with her mouth and looks almost like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.
She's a pure genius! She can say quite a few words - Mama, Dada, book, duck(more like du) baby, uh-oh, ball(more like ba). She will point to her picture on the wall or a baby in a magazine and say baby. And she points to her books on the bookshelf and says book. I don't think a lot of 10 month old babies can do that! Oh yeah, she can say NO really well too, complete with the finger shaking! She'll crawl over to something that I've told her NO to before, and she'll say, "No, No, No No". And then she continues on and plays with what she's not suppose to!
She has been crawling like crazy and getting into everything. She loves it when you chase her. She'll book it down the hall, stop and look back to see where you are. She waits till you're close enough to tickle her then she'll take off again. She walks really well holding on to furniture. But just last night she started standing by herself. She saw how excited we were when she did that so she stood up over and over and over again, smiling as she fell. I'm sure in the next little while, after she's more comfortable standing alone, she'll take her first steps. Oh what a proud mom I'll be when that happens!
She just figured out how to open the box of wipes. We have the box that pops open. She sticks out her little finger and pushes down and it pops up and then she pulls out all the wipes one at at time. I've found a pile of wipes in her room a few times. Now I have to keep them on the top shelf so that doesn't keep happening.
She hates drinking her bottles. It's the biggest fight with her. But she loves eating food. She's pretty good at eating her baby food but she absolutely loves big people food. The other day, I had just finished feeding her so I started eating my lunch - leftover mashed potatoes with cheese. I put a small amount on the fork and started blowing on it. She saw me doing that and got the biggest smile on her face knowing that bite was for her. She LOVES mashed potatoes. Takes after her mom. She'll eat pretty much anything.
She loves to clap. She'll do it at the most random times. But she always does it whenever I say, "Yeay" or "Good girl". She's so proud of herself when she does something well, she just has to clap! If she hears someone laugh, she'll sometimes start laughing too. But it sounds more like a courtesy laugh.
Here are a few pics from the last little while.
The witches at Gardner's Village (well, only the one on the left!)
BUSTED!
With her cousin Matteo
Trying to get unstuck from under the exersaucer
Fell asleep playing with her toys while I showered
Loves her binky's. I have to keep at least 4 in her crib in case one gets thrown out or something!
