Kenzie Turns 2

Our sweet Kenzie girl is now 2 years old! I know its cliche, but seriously time has flown by. Wasn't this just yesterday...?

Kenzie is our quiet observer. She has gotten better about smiling for people she doesn't know, or doesn't see very often. When we are at home, she is talking up a storm and VERY happy. She is starting to show a lot more attitude though, especially when she gets caught doing something naughty. (Climbing on the kitchen chairs, stealing the remote, lying in wait for a baby gate to be left open, etc.)

We often joke that Kenzie is a ninja because she is SO quiet. I knock her over all the time because I don't realize she's right behind me. 

For having such a bubbly, talkative sister, Kenzie is actually talking sooner than Marley was at this age. She is constantly surprising us with the words she knows, and has recently started saying phrases like:

"Look at that!"

or

"Man oh man!"

Kenzie is very analytical and studies things before making her move. I feel like she is going to be an engineer like her daddy. She loves to explore, and her favorite thing to do outside is dig in the dirt. Kenzie also loves to read and is always running up to us with a book in hand saying, "Weeeeed?"

Our smart girl knows most of her letters, numbers, and even colors. Counting to ten came quickly because her sister is OBSESSED with playing hide and seek. 

For her birthday we threw her a Trolls party because she loves the movies and even knows the characters by name. We had family come over to enjoy yummy food, open presents, and Kenzie opted for cookies instead of the cake because that is her favorite snack. 

Although we are bracing ourselves for the terrible two's that are starting to make their debut, life with this sweet girl is just the best! We can't imagine life without her. She just needs to stop growing up so fast.
