Wide Vocabulary

Kenz started talking at 9 months. Her first word was "booh" (book). Immediately after, she started saying da-da, pah-pah (for patty-cake), and bye-bye (while waving). She also started signing "more" by clapping her hands together.

At 10 months she added "k" to her vocabulary which resulted in her being able to now say "bake" for patty-cake, and "duck" (which is what she called me until this week). She says "hi" and waves. Now she calls me "me-me" and says "na-na" when she wants to take a nap or go to sleep. She blows kisses and says "bow." She also runs her fingers through her hair when I say "pretty." She can now sign "please" and holds her hands out with palms up to say "all gone." McKenzie loves to talk and gets very routy in sacrament meeting.

Last night, at Young Women's she was introduced to a microphone by the bishop...I fear we have an entertainer on our hands....

Bonk!!

I started working at LDS Family Services the first week in September. Much to my surprise, my second day there I got a page that I had a visitor at the front desk. There stood my husband. When we went outside, he explained that there had been an accident. He turned Kenzie's car seat towards me and I saw this huge goose egg on her noggin! She bonked on the coffee table and had battle wounds. Daddy felt terrible!! We kept her awake (hard because she had NO nap that day), made sure she kept food down...all that fun stuff to make sure she wasn't concussed. The bruise is gone now but she still has a crease in her forehead when she raises her eyebrows.
