GIANT Vocabulary

Happy Friday ya'll!

I have so many posts to catch up on - it's on my agenda this weekend when I'm on my own and Kenna's in bed...I PROMISE!

While I'm sitting at work however this fine Friday morning, I decided I had to at least write this post to talk about how awesome Miss Kenna's voaculary is becoming!!!  We have had our iPad for just over a month now and I think that, combined with Pati's house each day and of course being with her awesome parents, has really helped her voacbulary excel!

She can recognize the following letters:

* A, B, K, M, O, T, W

It is crazy to see her point to something at a store and hear her say the right letter!!!  Proud mama for sure!  K and M were new last night as we found out while we were playing with her bathtime letters she can stick all over the wall :)

She's also forming actual sentences now instead of just one word for what she's trying to say.  Rather than saying, "More" now she's saying, "Mommy (or Daddy) more please."  Some of her new words are:

* Shoes
* Outside
* Out
* Please
*Turtle - this one is SO cute!!!!
* Pluto from Mickey Mouse
* Football
* Pool
* Ever
* Eyes
* Red
* Fish
* House
* Sit
* Book
* Amen
* iPad (well she calls it the 'B')
* Pineapple
* Work
* Peace
* Aampa - this is her new word for Grandpa instead of PaPa
* CaCa is Erica
* Wob is Rob

She can also tell you how old she is now - she can't do the 2 fingers with it, but she says '2' in her adorable little teeny voice :)

She's getting really good with associating animal sounds too :) She knows what sound a kitty, puppy, monkey and cow make.  And all monkeys are called 'CoCo' as that is what the monkey on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is named.

She's also counting along with me and Daddy.  We count to 10 a lot and say our ABC's a lot too and it's fun to hear her say the next number or letter before we can!!!  We love Dr Suess' ABC book and Daddy was reading it to her and when he got to letter G, she said, 'Daddy, Goo Goo Goggles!!!'  Such a smart little girl!

We've been getting a lot of rain these last few days so Daddy and Kenna sing 'Rain Rain Go Away' and she is starting to recognize a lot more songs when it comes to some of the shows she watches and from hearing us sing since she was born.

Such a sweet girl!
As you can tell, our days have not been boring and I swear with each passing day there is something new we see or hear with her.  She just turned 2 and we feel like she is becoming such an intelligent little girl.  We have her 2 year check up the beginning of July and are excited to see Dr. Jones and hear all he has to say about her development!

Sneak Peak of Kenna's 2 Year Photos!

My sweet baby girl!

Last Friday we had Mackenna's 2 year photos and it turned into some family photos too since we haven't taken any since she was 3 months!  We loved the photographer and Kenna did too which helped!  She sent us a sneak peak that night and we are so excited to see the rest!

One of the better candids of our family -so happy!!
LOVE!
