One

Kensie turned one!

Which means I survived the first year of being a new mom! (Maybe a post on that later)...

And overall I'm SO happy to have a one year old and not a newborn this year:)

Her one year stats:

Weight: 17 lbs 11 oz. (5th percentile)

Height: 27 3/4 inches (10-25th percentile)

Head: 45 cm (50th percentile)

Little miss Kensie...

Goes up both flights of stairs but not down

Stairs are her favorite activity. Goes straight for them after breakfast.

Shakes her head 'no' if she doesn't like something

Likes wearing shoes now!

Moved up to a size 2 in shoes finally

I'm lucky if she will keep a bow on her head these days

Sleeps with her puppy and her kitty

We called her shark tooth and little pirate for a few weeks because she only had one sharp canine tooth on top

Now she has two teeth on top and two on bottom

Has her beauty pageant wave down to a T. People comment about it all the time.

She learned to say No

Whenever she sees stuffed animals she says, "Ahhhhh Ahhhh"

Does the same when she sees puppies and gets really excited

Diaper changes are pretty much impossible

Telling her "No" only encourages her

She started mimicking us

Wears 9-12 month clothes

Got her first black eye. She hit herself with the remote.

Points at things

Likes getting her teeth brushed

Favorite foods: yogurt, chicken, cheese, bread, and watermelon

She started being a picky eater. I hope it's just a stage.

Words she says repeatedly: boo, Da Da, Ah-done, No, Hi

When done eating she does one of three things: 1)Starts throwing all food off of her high chair 2) Politely signs 'all done' in ASL or 3) says, "Ah-done"

Sleeps 7:30 p.m.-6:30 a.m. Still experimenting with nap times.

Gets really excited when her dad comes home from work

Side note: She posed like this all by herself. I put her in the chair forward facing and she maneuvered to the side, put her legs through, and crossed them. That's my girl.

Yay for being one! One is more fun than being zero.
