December, 8 months and a new year

This year has gone by way too fast, Kenley is growing and learning so much. 

Kenley has two teeth and loves to use them. She is most interested in feeding herself and doing it all on her own. If we try and feed her pureed foods she want to use the spoon herself equaling in a giant mess. She loves using straws to drink and is not into sippy cups at all, which is ok by me.

She knows who mom, dad and Hersh are and will look for us. She barks(grunts) at hersh and says "sthhh"which I think is her saying hersh. She gets so excited to see Kelly and squeals when he scares her. When shes sad or overly tired she only always wants me to hold her and reaches for me. She gives kisses on the cheek, I  give her a kiss on the cheek and say mwah and then she will go it back. Its so cute. Shes loves the stairs and standing up on everything, she can stand unassisted for a few seconds...why is she growing so fast..it makes me sad.

 She hates diaper changes and getting dressed. She likes to talk/scream at kids and reaches her arm out to everyone to "give high fives".

This month Kelly went to Vegas for 5 days with the University of Utah football team for their bowl game against Colorado.He really enjoys his Athletic training program and working with the athletes, we're proud of him and all his hard work. 

Christmas was great, and so much more fun with a baby. Kenley wasn't very into it but we sure loved having her and starting some of our own family traditions. Kenleys favorite toy was probably a mini piano, she loves to play us songs, Our families were great and spoiled her, and now she has so many toys and  not enough places for them. Our parents gave us some really great activities as gift that will be  fun for the whole year (zoo membership, Rec center pass and a cruise in May!) 

We ended our year at a Gatsby party with our friends the Nordfelts and had a blast with dinner and games all night. Kenley is a party animal and didn't want to sleep with so much fun going on. 2014  was a great year, we are excited for 2015 and all the adventures it will bring.

Happy New Year!
