Kensley is 11 months old

I'm kind of using my blog as my journal because I'm more likely to sit down & type something up quick than take time to write in my journal... so today's entry is an update on Kensley (pardon if you get bored). She turned 11 months old yesterday. I really can't believe she is almost one and it's time to plan a party. She is a pretty funny kid and a good baby. She's making this noise now where she opens her mouth really wide & makes a sound like she's sucking air in... and then she laughs. She loves it when we laugh at her. She does things over and over to get attention. She said bye & waved a few weeks ago, but only for one day. This past weekend she picked it up again & waves & says "bye-bye" to everyone, even sometimes when we don't say it to her. She's still making "the face" when strangers talk to her or if she doesn't like what you say. She is responding better to "no" when we say it & most of the time will stop whatever she was doing after giving her look that she's is not pleased. She's loving finger foods & eats most everything. She loves sweet potato baby food, but I discovered tonight that she does not like real, cooked sweet potatoes... odd. She eats baby food most of the time, but some of the 3rd food she doesn't like. I think it's the texture. She's pulling up on most anything now & she's starting to cruise around the furniture more. She still loves her thumb & her pink bear. She has started throwing it out of the crib in an attempt to not go to sleep at naptime. She also started screaming & yes, I mean at the top of her lungs like a toddler or older child would do. She's definitely a girl. Most of the time it's when she's mad about something or you took something away that she wanted. She loves to watch her Baby Einstein or God Made Me video's... it will calm her down if she's fussy almost every time. She loves to look at books. I'm trying to be more consistent & read with her in hopes she will like to read when she starts school. So, I guess that's a wrap up of my baby girl.

School is getting better with Chandler & Carter is excited because two more of his friends were moved into his class today. That makes 6 friends... 4 of them are pretty good friends.. in his class. What are the chances of most all the kids he knows in kindergarten being in his class. I'm happy about it too, because one of my good friends... well, her kid.... was one that was moved to his class. That means buddies for parties & carpooling for field trips. Yippee!
