Animal Sounds

Kenya can say a few animal sounds.

Cow... mmm (she leaves of the oo)
Doggy... woof woof
Sheep... baa
Kitty... mmow (she rarely does this one)

She is able to point out animals in her books too! What a fast learner!
Now I need to get the shapes, colors, numbers, and letters down. So much to learn, but it is all great fun!

Kenya is a Dancing Queen

Kenya loves to dance! She has for quite sometime now, but lately she really loves to dance and ask to dance often.

Last week we were watching the Olympic figure skating on TV and Kenya began to imitate their skating by twirling around and dancing. It was so cute! We caught it on video on Sunday. Wow, has she grown. She imitates all kinds of things now. I should be doing a better job of watching what I do and say.

On Saturday night we had a family dance party and for over an hour listen to music and danced. It was a blast.

On Sunday we Robert was downloading some music on to is PS3 and Kenya was very insistent about dancing because she heard the music. She lives to dance by herself as shown in the video, but also she like to dance with me or Robert or Grandma (I bet really she would dance with just about anyone who would let her.)

Here are some other videos of our almost 1 year old. She loves to play! We take more videos of Kenya than pictures because she is so active that we want to catch what she is doing as well as how cute see is. Sorry if it gets old to watch videos. I will try to take more pictures!

One last thing… Kenya had become quite social. When she walks in a room, or anywhere really she puts on her amazing smile and waves at anyone and anything. I think it is a game she plays that goes something like this… “I bet I can get that person to smile and wave… yep I knew it would work. I have got them all figured out!”

Could this be an update?

It sure is folks! After being hounded for an update and we've finally delivered!
So these first 4 pictures began as a joke. Lois put the bow in her hair to be humorous, but after seeing it in her hair we couldn't decide if she was ridiculously cute or just ridiculous...so tell us what YOU think! Please select one answer on the poll and answer honestly. We won't take offense!






These next 4 are of Kenya at dinner time one night. She was hammin' up the camera that night!




She is practically posing for a photo shoot in these next 2 pics!

It kinda looks like she got a hold of the camera and took a picture of herself!

Here is a video of Kenya feeding herself...well with a little help.




Here's a video that shows a little of how she walks and tries to run! She never really practiced walking. Just one day she decided that crawling wasn't fast enough and just stood up and walked! Even though we have been watching her walk since January 5, we still are absolutely amazed every time we see her walk!





We can't leave This out! Here she is playing with her oh-so-addicting hair tie! She still plays fetch too!
