Active Kenna

Kenna's been all over the place now that she can crawl. One of her favorites is to crawl up the stairs. You can tell she's so proud of herself when she makes it to the top. She likes to follow her Ate up the stairs.





She's starting to pull herself up to a standing position a lot now too. She'll walk along the couch and even push and walk with chairs and the garbage can. She's getting more brave with her stunts now that she's realizing she's getting more and more mobile.

Check out my Garden & our Garage Sale...

I've updated Kaui's Kreations with some photos of the garden bearing fruit and of the garage sale we had this past weekend...check it out!

Kaila is 2 1/2 & Kenna is 8 months old!

Kaila turned 2 1/2 on July 13th while we were on our Disney trip, but just recently had her 2 1/2 year check-up with Dr. Cook since she is going to be starting preschool at the end of this month. According to Dr. Cook she is completely healthy, except for her attitude at times ;) Just kidding...Dr. Cook said the attitude is normal. She reassured us that they don't call it the terrible 2's for nothing and that most 2 year olds do make it to 3...lol! We thought that was funny.

Her stats are as follows: she weighs 29 lbs, which makes her 55% heavier than girls her age and is 3 ft. 2 in. or 38 in., which makes her 80% taller than girls her age. For Cisco & I it was a moment we'll never forget as we watched her sit on the exam table and answer all the questions Dr. Cook asked her, all by herself. Our favorite was when Dr. Cook asked her how her talking was and she answered with an emphatic, "Good!" It was quite a tear-jerking moment to think that our little girl is becoming a big girl.

Kenna turned 8 months on August 2nd. She is quite the explorer nowadays. Putting slippers in her mouth, playing with Sadie's bowls, and eating the remote are a few of her bad habits, along with sticking out her tongue ;) She is quite the finger food eater and even knows how to sign "more" and "all done." Well, "more" is like a clap and "all done" is like a bye. But she actually does know how to wave bye. She does it with both hands by flicking her wrists, and says "baba, baba." Her favorite song is "If You're Happy and You Know it" to which she'll clap her hands and smile cheesily. "Mama" beat "Dada" to the race this time around :) Kaila said "Dada" first, but Kenna has definitely worn out the word "Mama." She is also quite the couch cruiser and weighs in at 17 lbs. 9 oz.

Happy 8 months!
Both girls...
Admiring her sister playing outside, probably wishing she could too...
Little sissy...

Sadie & her Sisters...

Sadie loves to look out the back door, so here I caught both Sadie & Kenna policing the back yard.

"What's going on out there Sadie?"
"What should we do?"
"I know, show mommy our butt!"

"What ya' lookin' at mom."
And here's a throwback of Kaila, when she was about 8 months, looking out the back door with Sadie.

Miss Toothy...

Kenna has finally got a tooth...check it out!
