3 years old!

Three years old....what?! My baby is growing up too quickly, and I'm finding it truly exciting yet sad all at the same time! We love and adore her more than anything in the world! She has filled our lives with so much love, joy, and happiness. She may be tiny, but boy does she have a larger-than-life personality. Over this past year she has really matured and developed a sense of independence and confidence within herself. She use to be somewhat timid and shy when meeting new people or engaging in new situations. However, she has now developed into an outgoing little sweetie and will join in with confidence in unfamiliar activities. She is beyond sweet and has such a big heart! She also  is somewhat strong-willed and always knows exactly what she wants which can be trying for mommy and daddy at times!

At Kenley's 3-year-old well baby checkup, she weighed 24 pounds (below the 3rd percentile) and was 35 3/4 inches tall (10th percentile).

This past year Kenley has learned and has grown so much. Below are some of the things she is doing and activites she enjoys.
