A girl and her doggies...

We love Spring!

This past week has been beautiful! 80 degrees in April?!? We've been out and about trying to soak up some sun! Since 80 in April is pretty uncommon in NY we have to take in all the nice weather while we can! We've been taking a lot of walks, going to the playground, playing outside...

A nice woman at the park put Kenzie on her daughter's (also named Makenzie) bike...Kenzie loved it and threw quite the tantrum when we took her off! Kenzie's new toy....

I asked Kenzie to stand against the wall for a picture and she posed like this....

I know it's a little late to post St. Patty's Day pics but they have been on my sister's memory card this whole time...and they are too cute not to post! You can see them here.

More Easter Pictures! :)

Here are some more pretty picture that my sister took on Easter! :)

Easter!

What a lovely Easter. Everything was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

We started the day with Kenzie going through the Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny left!
She loved everything. The Easter Bunny found a doggie that barks and wags his tail. Kenzie loved it! That was definitely her favorite!

The night before we were outside playing, enjoying the beautiful weather so Kenzie stayed up way past her bed time. By 7:30 she was a little grumpy so I decided to put her to bed with wet hair....and this is what I woke up to!

I hid a few eggs around the living room...I wasn't sure if she would want to find them or understand what she was suppose to do. There was a lot going on so she didn't really get into it but at least it was good practice for our family's Easter egg hunt later in the day!

After going through Kenzie baskets with her and eating blueberry muffins and some candy we went to church. It was a beautiful message which just matched the beautiful day!

After Church we went back home so Kenzie could get a little nap in! At 1:00 we met up with my family (who drive down from Syracuse) at a nearby restaurant for a very delicious buffet! I definitely enjoyed myself...maybe a little too much. Leaving the restaurant I was painfully full...but that's what is suppose to happen at buffets, right?

After lunch we went over to my sisters house...It was a great day with family! We played, hunted for eggs, ate more, talked, laughed.....

Easter egg hunt 2010! Hehe....this time around Kenzie knew what to do..it was so adorable watching the babies run around looking for eggs! We sectioned off 3 different areas: A section for Cody who is 8, a section for the Sophie & Ella and a section for the babies! Goodness, my sister will have to get a bigger yard as our family keeps on growing! :)

Poo Poo & Pictures! :)

Today I came home from work to a very sweet surprise...

Kenzie went poopoo in potty for the 1st time!! She hasn't even went pee pee in the potty yet!

I was so excited! So was my mom-she called me at work with the news! hehe :)

We haven't even started potty training her...I was going back and forth with when to actually start. We already have a potty for her but we haven't put it out yet. Every night before her bath I sit her on the big potty to see if anything happens....and nothing happens! I asked her tonight if she wanted to go potty and ran away from me and hid next to our bed...so I'm still little convinced she's not quite ready to actually start training! haha!

.

I realized the other day I haven't done a post with random things Kenzie's saying or doing....

Since I don't scrapbook or write these things down I definitely need to stay on top of these things on the blog....

*Kenzie loves stickers! On this particular day she stuck them in her hair first but then decided to stick them all over her face and then on Mommy's face a few minutes after that...

*Makenzie is definitely becoming a much better eater! A couple months ago we started giving her a lot more dairy so that has given us a lot more food to offer her. We tried giving her regular milk but after she tried a sip she shook her head no and gave it back to me. So she's still drinking Soy. Her favorites are: hot dog, cheese sticks, yogurt, toast, and anything sweet!
*Kenzie has just started loving Elmo! She will point to the computer and ask for Elmo over and over again until we put Elmo on Youtube! I think right now she would pick Elmo over Barney!!
*Loves chapstick! I caught her putting chapstick on her doggie the other day! So cute!
*Has a new obsession with Aunt NeeNee! She has a picture of Aunt NeeNee and over the weekend she carried it everywhere....she even had to take it to bed!

*When I'm out and about with Kenzie she will point to men and yell "Da Da"-which is very awkward for me! Some of the men resemble Jeff but most don't! 2 of her recent "Da Da" moments were with a man with dreadlocks & a teenage boy! haha neither one looked like Jeff!

*Everyday it seems like she's saying something new....her most recent words: no-no (while shaking her finger) coffee, thank you, baush (which Jeff & I have no idea what it means but she says it all the time! we can not figure it out-sometimes she will point to the computer and say it other times out the window), love you, Scott, Emily, outside, night night, mouse, chicken, hot dog, breakfast (one of my favorite), bunny, neigh (for horse), Sophie, Titi (Jeff's sister)....
*Dogs continue to be her favorite animals....followed by cats! On this particular day I had to force Kenzie into her highchair without her doggies. I set doggies on the table next to her and told her she could have them when she was done eating. I left for a moment and came back to see that she stuffed her doggies in the highchair with her! hehe

*Loves walks....here she is playing in the rain with her rain coat...we just need to get her some rain boots now!

*Likes to point out dog poo outside during walks...and will repeat it over and over again!

*Thinks every dog is Mazie (my mom's 100 lb Rottweiler! It doesn't matter if it's a small dog or big dog-they are all Mazie!)
*Loves to walk a few houses down to see 2 big blow up Easter Bunnies!

*Says "up" for up and down. When we are carrying her and she's trying to get down she'll scream "up"...Jeff & I love it!

*Continues to be extremely loud in the library!

*Once again not a fan of the bath-not sure why it changes from week to week? Lately I've had to bathe her standing up while hysterically crying!

*Loved to look at the Easter Bunny at the mall and wave & throw kisses but REFUSED to get within a couple feet of him....oh well...there's always next year for a cute picture!
