Miss Kenley. Oh this girl is a ball of fire and honestly, I can’t imagine life without her.
(coat: Columbia, jeans: Old Navy, shoes: Toms)
18 months is such a glorious age. Kenley is starting to communicate, curious, loves pretty much everything and everyone, yet still seemingly a baby. She still wants to be cuddled and held and rocked before naps and bedtime. Loves the outdoors. Loves the swing and the slide and running after her brother.
As sweet as she is, she is also showing her dislike for things by saying “no”, waving her hands, or my personal favorite, hitting. *sigh* We are working on it.
She can say “bye”, “hi”, “more”, “yes” and “no” and “meow.” She blows kisses and waves, and tries to do a peace sign, since her brother’s classic new phrase when leaving anywhere is “peace out!” She is wearing 12-18 month and 18 month clothes. I just boxed up most of her 12 month things (which was kind of sad). She wears a size 5 shoe and looks SO STINKIN’ CUTE in her baby Toms.
Kenley is a great eater, with clear favorites being yogurt, blueberries, chocolate chips, cereal with milk, green beans, apples, and oatmeal. This girl will try anything and she is SUCH a better eater than her brother currently is. We started swimming once a week at an indoor pool and she is loving it.
She is also my amazing sleeper, going to bed between 8-8:30pm and sleeping until at LEAST 8am. Sometimes, its as late as 9:30am. She takes an afternoon nap that is anywhere from 1.5-3 hours. She hates being woken up before she is ready so I really, really try not to do that. I end up paying for it later!
She loves being outside and being independent. She doesn’t take too well to Brayden trying to coddle her all the time. She is also more adventurous, being the first child to ever set foot in the field behind the trees in our back yard. ::sigh:: BOTH eyes must be on her at all times, or who knows where she will end up!
I remember loving Brayden at this age, and it’s no different for her. Their personalities at this age are very similar yet– Kenley is a tad bit spunkier and sassier.
She’s hilarious and smart and funny and goodness, I just love that girl.
