Kensie Turns Two!

For two years now, we've been blessed beyond our wildest dreams!  Kensie has been so much fun, she makes us laugh constantly and teaches us more than we could ever teach her.

Now, I might be a bit biased, but I have a pretty smart little girl!  Literally, we see her do and say new things every single day.  It blows our minds because some of the things she does and says, we don't even know where she learned them!  One of my favorite things she says is, "Oh no my goodness!"  It cracks me up. 

Here are a few things that she has been doing in her second year:

• Started potty training
• Sings "Holy, Holy, Holy" (Revelation Song) by herself (21 months)
• Can distinguish her left and right foot most of the time
• Rolled her tongue for the first time (22 months)
• Recognized all 26 letters of the alphabet (21 months)
• Sang the alphabet song by herself (18 months)
• Can count to ten sometimes, but most of the time it ends up 1 2 3 9 6 7 8 9...6 7 8 9...6 7 8 9...
• Loves to play outside...would live out there if we would let her
• Can repeat pretty much ANY word you say to her...except 'banana'.  She just makes a funny noise for that word
• She speaks in full sentences most of the time (i.e.: "I go play in living room now, Mommy!")
• Started a lot of pretend play:  baby dolls, playing with 'hair tools',  makes food in the kitchen, etc...
• If you aren't listening to her, she'll put her hands on your cheeks and make you face her while telling you to 'listen'. (We're in TROUBLE!)
• She's a puzzle queen!  Give her a puzzle and it will be done in hardly any time at all!
• If you are hurt, or if she just THINKS you are hurt, she's very quick to give your 'ouchie' kisses
• A week after turning two, she learned how to jump off of both feet at the same time!  She loves gymnastics and the trampoline is her favorite.  She hops all over the place now!

We celebrated  her second birthday at the pool at The Trails Golf Club.  It was extremely hot (got to 111 degrees that day) so thank goodness it was a pool party!  She had tons of friends and family who came to celebrate with her.  We appreciate everyone who came out...it was hot (so hot the cupcakes were melting) but she still had around 50 people there!  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is her favorite show, so of course that was the theme of the party!  It was a great day!

 

I can't believe it has been two years....my how time flies!
