Tanaka Farm (Pumpkin Patch)

This past weekend we took Kenley to the pumpkin patch at Tanaka Farm. We began our day at the lake near our house feeding the ducks, and ended it at Tanaka Farm's feeding the goats! Kenley is now a little fearful of the ducks due to an incident she and her daddy experienced a few weeks back. Blaine had a day off and decided to take Ken Bug to the lake to feed "Kenley's ducks!" Next, thing you know Blaine said a drooling duck hopped out of the water and started walking toward them. He said at first he didn't think much of it, however seconds later the duck was chasing the two of them up the stairs and away from the lake! Needless to say she is a little timid now :)

She almost enjoys looking at the people walking by more so than feeding the ducks!

"Hi Ducks...My Shoes!"

We absolutely love this time of the year, especially since we now have an excuse to do all the fun kid activities. Last year we took Kenley to Tanaka Farm and had a wonderful time. We were so excited to return this year to enjoy all the festivities! 

Feeding the goats...not her favorite thing to do! 

I don't blame her!

So excited to get to the Pumpkin Patch!

I love this picture! It reminds me of what childhood is all about!

Love this little sweetie more than anything!

Family picture!

I feel so very blessed to be sharing these special moments with the love of my life and my amazing baby girl!

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Kenley!

Kenley is 18.5 months old! I cannot believe we have 1 1/2 year old! We find ourselves saying, "I love this age the most!" Then another month passes and boom that's our favorite age! Being a parent is the most rewarding, difficult and amazing experience in our lives. She is such a cuddly, sweet, yet strong-willed little girl! We are loving every moment with our sweet pea!

At Kenley's 18 month well baby checkup she weighed 19 lbs. 12 oz. (Below 3rd %) and was 30 inches long (10 % ile).


Below are some of Kenley's favorite activities and most recent milestones she has achieved:

• Combines 2 words. Her favorite phrase is..."Kenely's shoes!" Yes, the girl is obsessed with shoes!  Wonder who she gets that from :)
• Is really starting to show interest in potty training. She will tell us before she goes "PEEEE, POO, or even when she TUTS!"We find this very cute!
• Is able to independently complete simple puzzles.
• Loves her bear blanket.
• Is in love with "Mel-Mo...aka: Elmo!"
• Enjoys watching "MeMe...aka: Nemo"
• Has officially developed her first best-friend, "Lolo...aka: Logan"
• Loves being around other children.
• Enjoys riding in her car seat and listening to music.
• Loves twirling and playing Ring-Around-The-Rosie.
• If we would let her she would play outside all day.
• Is still primarily wearing 12 month clothing. However, I am only buying 18 month clothing for the fall/winter and praying it fits her!
• Loves to pretend she is a baby! She will come up to me and say, "Kenley...baby" and want me to rock her and sing rock-a-bye-baby!
• Still enjoys reading...thank God!
• Loves to get her hair done (put in a pony) and will even ask for a bow :) YAY!!

Getting this girl to look at the camera is a challenge!

Our little family!

Kenley and "Wiwwy!"
