RAHHHH I have been the absolute worst blogger. Does anyone else feel like it is a vicious cycle? You are so busy and have so much to blog about but have no time to do it because you are so busy?! I will get back on track. Brady is potty trained and heavy into swimming lessons, Kenley is sitting up and eating fruits and veggies like a champ. Ryan started his dream job working for a medical sales company called Medline and bought a new car, and I am stuck in this amazing whirlwind of life, teaching dance camp, and wedding planning. Oh ya, and I survived a trip to Dallas with both kids by myself. On an airplane. But that's a story for another day...
Time is flying.
I can't believe my sweet baby girl is 7 MONTHS OLD.
Kenley Girl---
You are still the sweetest baby. You rarely fuss and if you do it is for about 2.5 seconds. You are starting to find your voice now which is absolutely adorable. You also love to stick out your tongue, make an "o" with your mouth, and you can say "MAMA!" Yes, you really do. Even your Daddy has heard it. :) You also do bubbles that sound like "brrrrrrr" and can go on for so long doing this.
You have found your hands and your hand-eye coordination is improving so much. You grab at all of your toys (especially your pink crown rattle and cookbook!) and are obsessed with your pink Bunny by the Bay bunny. I think she is your "George." You love all of your activity toys, especially your pink excersaucer and walker aka "the office." You can walk backward in it... so funny.
You are so alert and know your name. I always say "Kenley Girl" in a really loud, obnoxious, high pitched voice and you turn to me and smile with your BIG, HUGE, SMILE. It melts my heart of course. You are starting to recognize when people walk away and leave you and you don't like it at all. Girlfriend loves the attention!
You flip both ways now and are all about grabbing at your toes. You can ALMOST sit up all by yourself but you'd rather flip on to your belly. This is so the opposite of your brother... he hated tummy time!!! I think you will be crawling within the next month or so because you are already showing signs of "scooting." Baby K on the move!!!
You still eat like a champ... 5 bottles of 6 oz. a day and you literally chug them. We switched you to Dr. Brown bottles and you rarely spit up anymore. You eat fruits or veggies mixed with cereal and so far love them all. This week we will attempt the sippy cup and letting you use your own spoon... just for kicks and giggles.
You are in 6-12 month clothes and are a size 2 or 3 shoe AND size 2 or 3 diaper. You have ridiculously loooooong legs and you love to kick and pump them. It helps get the gas out, too. ;) I love to dress you still and can't wait to shop for Fall for you. I see Baby Uggs in your future.
You love your binky but not as much as Brady. You are starting to spit it out a lot so I hope this means I can get rid of it before we have to take extreme measures like the binky fairy!!! You are also a little water baby. You love the beach club and putting your legs in the water. You kick and get so excited and do the cutest little noise...it almost sounds like a dog panting. But way sweeter, of course.
You may or may not be a ginger. A strawberry blonde one, but still... You get that from your Auntie Sam. You are starting to look more like your daddy but with your Mama's eyes.
You have the BIGGEST, open mouthed, smile.
You love everyone but you love your brother most. You laugh hysterically and smile at him constantly. It is so sweet. I am so overwhelmed with the love I have for you both and am sometimes so overwhelmed with how hard it is to be the "perfect" mommy all the time. I am working on finding a balance and also understanding that NO mommy (not even my own) is perfect.
Please stay this perfect and sweet and cute forever? Deal. I love you more than you will ever know my sweet princess girl.

Mommy
