A Kitty Cat, a Mud Puddle, and A Whole Bunch of Pumpkins

By -
Hi Everyone! Its been awhile, so we have a little catching up to do! Our camera is malfunctioning, so I don't have a lot of photos of the fun things we have been up to lately.  Last weekend, despite the rain, we did get to go to another pumpkin patch with friends!
Tons of fun things to do, like go in a bouncy house and ride a little train, and where does our kid head? That's right, straight for the biggest mud puddle she can find.  This is right before she said down with a "Kerplop"!
I can't get this one to rotate correctly!




We have definitely hit the twos head on at this point.  Kenley's new favorite word is "NOOOOOO!" (with that emphasis).  She especially loves to say it when you ask her to, for example, hug her grandmother or kiss her daddy goodnight. :) Its not easy for us! But, she still makes it worthwhile by being cute and funny. The funny phrases she has been picking up are growing.  Some of my recent favorites:

Can you please leave this area?
Daddy, you don't understand me.
Veronica, do you know your ancestors?


She has also been making up great stories lately.  It is really fun to see her imagination grow, and try to figure out how her funny little brain works when you see strange things being connected.  Here are some samples of funny stories she was telling me the other morning.

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Mommy. And she was walking through the woods when she saw Kenley. And they kept walking until they got to the grocery store.  And then they had ice cream and went home. The end!

Once upon a time mommy and kenley were walking through the woods.  They climbed a tree! And Kitty was on a branch! And he saw another Kitty cat on another branch! And she was pink! And then a monkey climbed up the tree! She was wearing a monkey shirt! And then they saw a goon! The end.

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Monkey.  And she saw a raccoon! And . . . the end.

That's all for now - hopefully I will get my camera working and have better documentation for you.  Halloween is coming and cute pictures of her as a lion/ladybug/scary pumpkin must be taken!

PS In case anyone is interested in what will be on Kenley's christmas list, i have posted it here!  Look <-----.

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 ...

35 Weeks: Baby Lunch!

Hi Everyone! We are at 35 weeks, and some happenings this week makes it feel like this baby is getting close! First of all, our first friend from Centering had her baby on Saturday- and not one we expected, since he came over a month early! She was supposed to be due just a few days before us, so when MK and I heard the news we looked at each other in shock realizing that Peanut could come literally any day. Better get that hospital bag packed (no, we haven't packed anything yet except extra batteries for the camera)! Second, we had our first Peanut event today - a lovely ladies' lunch thrown by the girls from "the crew": organized by Ally and Sheila, assisted by Nancy, Shakti, and Sarah (we missed you Emilie!)! Michal joined us too! We had a beautiful lunch at the 35th Street Bistro in Fremont with (of course) a pink peanut theme! See the cupcakes, circus peanut decor, and peanut butter chocolate favors! Add in some champagne, delicious food, and the best company, an...

First Ultra Sound!

We had our first ultra sound today!! We went to have Peanut checked out to make sure everything is growing ok. Looks like so far so good! First of all, Peanut is alone in there - no twins this time! More importantly, he or she has two arms and two legs, a normal sized head, an umbilical cord, a placenta... all the things an 11 week old baby needs! The tech said everything looked very happy. We were thrilled to analyze each of Peanut's body parts, especially the close up shots of his or her face. It is amazing how he or she already looks like a baby with a little face and everything! Michael says the baby already looks like him - bald! My favorite part was seeing the baby wiggling around - especially when I had to toss him or her around a little with a hula-hoop move to reposition for the camera. My second favorite part was seeing his little heart beat go pitter patter at 165 bpm, a "perfect" rate according to the tech. Now we just have to let him grow bigger! We also did ...
