On the first day of K-mas my true love gave to me, a Snowman that looks like KB.

Things we accomplished the last two days: clarifying what Kensie wants (sort of) and blowing kisses!! I haven’t been successful with getting it on video yet, but I have about 10 other videos from the past 2 days. Don’t worry, I won’t share them all. Just like, 8. 😂

KB’s days have consisted of partying with her friends (old and new!), pointing at things and signing “more” when you’ve touched what she wants – or doing the “yes that’s what I want” bounce (see video for visual), bringing me the same 4 books to read 6 times in a row and copying everything she sees.

 

This smart cookie has the FUNNIEST way of blowing kisses which is why I’m dying to get it on video for you guys. She sticks her finger in her mouth and pops it out to make the “kiss” sound. 😂 It’s so damn cute and I think it’s rather brilliant, too.

Instead of making you read a novel, I’ll let you enjoy these videos of K’s daily activities. (Excuse the fact that they’re broken into 2 videos. Long story. Just watch in order.) First up: copying the classes and following them on their run.

Aunt Emmy hung with Kens while I coached tonight and she caught KB in her most natural state…

Ah. Makes me so proud. 😂

Hope you guys are ready for tomorrow. It’s officially time for 12 Days of K-Mas!!!!!!

Proud mom moment: Kensie pulled the Starbucks cup ornament off the tree at the gym…and pretended to drink from it. 😂 My job as a mom is basically complete.

The weekend caught up to this nugget and KB was extra sleepy and snuggly today.

Her morning nap was going on 3 hours when I went in to wake her up. I know, I know. “Never wake a sleeping baby”…but when you have errands to run and that baby has to take another nap before the gym, you wake them.

All it took was a little food to turn the smile on.

We finally got some clothes on and made it out of the house.

What confirms that Kensie was tired today is that she didn’t climb out of her seat in the cart and try to stand the whole time. I was a fan because I looked like a much better mom today. 😂 (I promise we actually needed something from Target.)

Hopefully she’s feeling a little more lively by Thursday…because that’s when the 12 Days of K-mas kicks off!!! 😜🎄

Kensie had such a fun weekend full of late nights, Christmas cookies, dinosaur screams, milk chugging, snuggle giving, growing out her baby mullet (Seriously, I think her hair grew a solid inch this weekend…only in the back), and hamming it up for the camera.

Saturday morning I dropped KB off at Aunt Casey’s and she played with Harper and Riley while Chris and I got some work done at the gym.

In the afternoon, we celebrated her cousin Lillie’s birthday!

K had so much fun trying to hang with the “big kids”. She liked the karaoke machine, remotes and bags the best.

If you have a little one, this Insignia high chair is AMAZING. It’s small, light weight and attaches to tabletops! Such a huge help when we K is at another house so we don’t have to sit her on our laps and try to feed her.

As if she didn’t already have a full day of partying, we went over to Aunt Ashley and Uncle Will’s for dinner and Christmas cookie decorating!

K quickly discovered her love for frosting. She went from licking the frosting “knife”, to sticking her fingers in it and licking those, to taking the stirring spoon out of the bowl and getting a solid mouthful of sugar.

It was a complete mess and so much fun!

Her late night unfortunately didn’t make for a late morning wake up on Sunday. It did make for a 3 hour nap, though!

Post nap, we brunched! (And can we take a second to acknowledge the GORGEOUS weekend weather?!)

Brunch involved a few sidewalk strolls and walks by the “lake” across from the restaurant.

And to close out the weekend, we discovered Kensie’s love of “fetch”. Uncle BahBah had to have done this at least 20 times, and to KB, each time was equally as funny as the last.

Those. Giggles!!! 😍

I’m pretty sure KB is hitting a growth spurt…and for those of you that have seen her in person and how chunky her feet are, I think those grew too. The only thing that actually fits in a size 12m sleeper are her feet. 😂

She spent the day chugging her bottle, handing it to me and signing “more”, pointing at her high chair and taking long naps.

And climbing. Still climbing.

I found the most amazing contraption at Hobby Lobby today and had to share it with you guys. I’m not sure what it’s actually for, but the second I saw it it screamed “BOWS!” 😂

Could even put the lamp in the middle! (But really…what is this thing supposed to be for? Anyone?)

Also, I have a photo from today to prove that I do change her out of her PJs.

Anyways, as I was getting this blog written KB woke up and was crying a little more than usual. She’s been sleeping completely through the night for a few weeks now. Sometimes she’ll wake up for a second and fuss, but tonight was a little more dramatic (and I was reading this article about the benefits of co-sleeping so I just wanted to go get her 😂). I picked her up and she pointed to the door, then she asked to eat.

So now, she’s laying in bed with me. Chugging a bottle and watching a Netflix Christmas Movie at 11:30pm. I think she likes it, too.

Just add this to my Mom of the Year application. 🤷🏼‍♀️
