9 Months...and 10 Months!

Hiking in Big Basen
Get ready...set...lung forward...and sit back down
Yes, I am playing on the floor in my pajamas and pink tutu!

"Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba" or in Kensington speak, hello, goodbye, and ball. :) I missed posting Kensington's nine month update due to some very busy but very fabulous weeks in January, so we're just skipping to the 10 month update....WOW!!! 10 months! I still can't wrap my mind around that. Doesn't even seem possible that she'll be one in just 2 months. Yeah...I can't even fathom that. Seems like just yesterday she was that tiny 6 lb. baby! I guess she's still "tiny" our little princess is tipping the scale at 17 lbs. 5 in., she may be little but she is determined! I've never met a baby that is so squirmy and focused. She knows what she wants and will grab at it or wiggle to it in order to satisfy her curiosity. Which is a big feat considering she still only scoots backwards. She continues to amaze and endear us each day. I am overwhelmed with gratitude each morning when I walk into her room and look into those happy beautiful blue eyes. I am daily thrilled and humbled by this precious precious gift the Lord has entrusted to us. She continues to make shopping or public outings difficult as we are consistently stopped and oohed and awed over. :) We drink it all in, and my prayer is that she will always know she is beautiful inside and out because of Christ in her and that her life will be lived to bring God glory. All that being said...here is the run down...

I like:

My mama

My brothers...both of them equally now

My daddy when he plays on the floor with me and gives my baths and our special Wednesday dates.

Being tickled

Real Food

Drinking out of a big cup

Playing with my basket of toys

Playing with anything my brothers are playing with

Meeting new people

Being complimented

Nursery at church

Snuggling with pink fuzzy blankets

My thumb

I don't like:

Teething!

Being taken away from Mama when I don't want to go

Riding in the car to pick up brothers, I don't fuss but I'm not thrilled either

Being bonked in the head over and over and over again

Getting stuck under furniture when I get going backwards

Falling on my face when I forget to catch myself when I lunge forward

Getting into the crawl position and not being able to go anywhere, I just lay my head down and start sucking my thumb.

Having things taken out of my hands

Not getting fed fast enough

Firsts

I'm working on my first set of teeth...four at one time. I share my suffering with everyone

around me by whimpering and whining. :)

Ear Infection and antibiotics, I really like my medicine

Blow out at Target, and new outfit to shop with (thank you antibiotics)

Christmas!!! It was spectacular. Lots of family and lots of fun!

New Year...I slept through that

And lots more, but Mommy's to tired to remember :)
