Kenzie is now 2! I can't believe it. I think she had a great birthday. After taking Jack to school, Jordan, Kenzie, Coleman, and I went to the park. It was raining a little on our way there and so I tried to convince her to choose to go play at the mall instead, but she still wanted to go to the park. It had stopped raining by the time we got there, but everything was wet and it did start raining again while we were there. But the kids still loved it. Later, after Kenzie's nap, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. Then we went to Jack's soccer practice. When we got back home we had the rest of the cupcakes and she blew out the candles. She was so excited to have more cupcake.
Getting ready to take Jack to school.
Kenzie on the bridge at the park. One of the bad things about it being wet was that I was worried that Kenzie (or Jordan) would slip up on the play thing.
Happy Colie.
Cute Jordie.
Jordan wanted me to take a picture of him on this thing. And for once the back of his shorts are wet from actual water, not from having an accident...
They spent most of the time swinging.
Jordan by the giant mitt.
Kenzie's really into sticking her tongue out for pictures. Especially that day.

Relaxing on the way home.
waiting...
getting excited...
the first time she blew, the flame didn't go out. She looked up so confused.
But tried again and was successful and so excited.
I don't know why, but I love this picture.
Chocolate mouth.
Crazy JackHere's some things about Kenzie:
Weighs about 24 lbs.
She says ooh ooh ah ah (monkey sounds) a lot. She often says it when I go get her up in the morning. At her birthday party she kept saying it over and over.
When she can't do something, she'll say "I can't." It's super cute.
If you ask how old she is, she usually says she's 3 or 4.
She likes to say she's Dora.
She loves Dora.
She's really into changing her clothes. She has a skirt that she loves to put on and will often take her pants off so that she can wear it. She also loves some of her pajama pants.
She loves washing her hands.
She's been learning the letters and the sounds they make and does ok at them. I think with most letters she either knows the name or the sound and with some she knows both.
When she wants to do something she says "I will!"
She doesn't like going to bed anymore and whenever we talk about it, she says "no bed!" At Jack's soccer practice last week another mom was saying her daughter was ready for bed and Kenzie got big eyes and looked at me and said "no bed." It was funny.
She loves oatmeal, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and most anything sugary and chocolatey.
Whenever I'm eating waffles she has to have some bites. Even if she has her own.
She doesn't know the colors, but she's trying really hard to figure them out.
She loves reading books.
She likes people to sing songs to her. But usually the songs she chooses. If we sing something she doesn't want us to sing she keeps saying no until we stop.
She glares at us a lot.
She likes to hit. Who would have thought that it would be my daughter that I've had the hardest time teaching to not hit?
She'll keep doing things to bother her brothers until they ask her nicely to stop.
Sometimes when we kiss her she says "don't kiss me."
She likes a drink in bed before she goes to sleep. She uses a a Dora cup and likes to look at Dora and sometimes the other characters on it and often ends up spilling some of the water.
She likes bubble baths.
She loves peanut butter. When I make the kids' sandwiches for lunch she likes to stand on the stool next to me and try to get some peanut butter off of the bread onto her fingers so she can it it. She does the same thing with the honey too.
To get her to go happily upstairs to bed we usually ask her if she wants to run, walk, jump, or fly to bed.
When we ask what she did in nursery (or really anytime...) she says she played with 3 of the boys in nursery and sometimes she also includes Jordan in who she played with.
She likes to get her way. If she doesn't she cries...
If she doesn't want to go somewhere she'll just refuse to walk. She doesn't care if we start going without her. She's my first child that doesn't seem to mind if she's not around the rest of us when we're out. She probably just knows we'd never leave her :)
