9 Months + 2 Weeks: Weekend in La Conner!

By -
Hi everyone!

Here's a picture of Daddy and Kenley watching the first minutes of the World Cup!


We got back today from a beautiful weekend in La Conner with Michal, Jason, Bert, Beth, Nan, and Ron - with sun and everything! Kenley had a good time with all the family, and even learned a new trick! She now claps and then does a funny little hand wiggle with her fingers clasped. I think Grandpa Bert taught her while I wasn't looking. She also showed off her other favorite trick - drink + swallow + "ahhhh!". Pretty funny. We had a great weekend camping, walking the beach, hiking, cooking, playing board games, and playing with the baby. Even snuck in some mini golf!

Here is Kenley's first trip to the beach!

Grandpa Bert looks for good fishing spots.

Ahhh - Check out the beautiful blue sky!


Kenley fell asleep on our morning walk (of course).


Bebe, Michal, Kenley and I went for a long hike at Deception Pass. Here we are at North Beach.



Kenley kept eating rocks.

Beautiful scenery + slobbery rocks.

Happy baby and happy mama!


The fantastic location of our Saturday evening grill and campfire.

A very fun weekend, although everyone was exhausted when we got home!

Also last week we had Kenley's 9 month check up with her pediatrician. Everything looks great! She weighs 16 pounds 13 ounces now.

Love to you all!

Easter Cuteness

We love Easter! We were so excited to celebrate with the whole fam this year (Bebe and Papa missed it last year), and for Kenley to actually hunt for eggs (you might remember last year's picture where we just put KK in a pile of eggs and let her "hunt" for the eggs she could reach!). Easter basket is stuffed, food ready, eggs hid...we are ready! Kenley loved her Easter basket! It had some extras from Mama, Bebe, Grandma, and Great-Grandma. Kenley was so happy she hardly noticed what was missing...(candy!). Kenley's a pro with these instruments, which she learned how to use at music class. She was so happy to have her own set! Most of all she loved her new books! Here's Kenley with Bebe and Nan. Thanks Mary and Megan for the candy and the cool glasses! But mostly the candy.... It's time for the hunt! The rainy weather made the Easter bunny improvise and hide eggs only on the front porch and lawn...but it worked out great! Kenley is a pro now! Chocolate coins t...

Why "Kenley"?

By -
Many people have been asking why we selected Kenley's name, so I thought I would post a little background. When we thought about what we wanted to name the baby, we wanted something that complimented "King" and that was unique but easy to pronounce, etc. We ideally wanted something that started with a K and that was two syllables long. We first heard the name "Kenley" from a person on one of our favorite reality TV shows, Project Runway: a fashion designer named Kenley Collins. http://kenleycollins.com/ We wouldn't say we named the baby after the designer, as she was not a very nice person on the show, but we still loved the name and decided it was perfect for our baby. Kenley is an English name and has been used for both boys and girls and also as a surname. It means "Royal Meadow" pr "the King's meadow" and is the name of a town in England (in Surrey). According to the social security website, Kenley is the 998th most popular name ...
