She is a silly girl with lots of energy. She makes us laugh with all of the funny faces she makes. Photobucket
People frequently comment on how beautiful her eyes are.

She still hates wearing shoes and socks and will rub her feet together and kick until they are off.

I love her sweet little profile. It's so cute how her top lip sticks out. Photobucket
Her hair is finally growing back in on the sides and in the back. Sometimes her hair looks blond and other times it looks auburn.

The rest is mostly for me to remember but feel free to continue reading...

One of Kensie's favorite things is food. If we let her, she would try to eat everything we eat. She gets so excited when it's mealtime. Her eyes open wide, she licks her lips, she sticks her tongue in the corner of her mouth, and twirls her feet in circles. This month she has tried pretty much all of the fruits and vegetables in stages 1, 2 and some 3. She will eat just about anything we put in her mouth. She likes eating the mum mum crackers especially since she can hold them and feed herself. She also started eating the sweet potato and cherry puffs. She still drinks milk four times a day.

Naps: Two naps. One around 9 a.m. and she usually sleeps for an hour and a half or two hours. Her second nap is around 2:30 p.m. That one is usually only 45 minutes to an hour. Sometimes I get lucky and it's an hour and a half. She almost always cries when she recognizes that I am putting her down for a nap. I grab her binky and wrap her in her blanket while she cries and tries to roll away. Then I lay her down in her crib and she usually goes to sleep within a few minutes. Naps have gotten so much easier the last two months.

Nighttime sleep: She sleeps from 7:30 p.m. till 6 or 7 a.m. Luckily she isn't pulling the 5:30 and 5:45 a.m. wake up time anymore. Usually when she wakes up in the night she will go back to sleep on her own but she still wakes up now and then and won't go back to sleep on her own. She wants to held or rocked or given a binkie.

Her blocked tear duct finally cleared up for the most part this month! I am so relieved that she won't have to get surgery. It is so nice not having to wipe her eyes out numerous times a day.

She gives us lots of smiles and slobbery open mouth kisses. She is always squealing, chirping, and shouting. She is so much fun and we can't get enough of her chubby cheeks, chunky thighs, and soft baby skin.
