Happy 2008!!!

Let's just say that we have an amazing 2007 with Kenzie. Well, 3 1/2 months worth, anyway. She's improved so much since we got her! Aside from her hair getting longer and darker, she's grown in size, too. She is now 50th percentile in height, and 25th in weight. She's come along pretty well mentally also. She could do a whole bunch of things* already, but let's add a few more to the list. Now she...

-Can unzip zippers. (Meaning, she can only pull them down, so she can't zip up things.)
-Drinks soda. (Last night, we put a little bit of caffeine-free coke in her sippy cup. She loved it!)
-Actually enjoys you spinning her around and/or throwing her up in the air. (She used to be terrified.)
-Plays "chase" with me. (This is where I walk slowly behind her, reach my hands out, and say, "I'm gonna get you!" She runs as fast as her feet will take her, laughing the whole time. If I do decide to catch her, I tickle her.)
-She's a little bit ticklish in places now.
-One of our friends gave us a small denim chair for babies. She sits in it and watches TV and stuff. I mean, how many one-year-olds sit down on a chair for long(er) periods of time?
-Can say "Ga-Ga" (It usually means either "Good girl," "Sit down!". She says them in different tones; you now, different ways for each one.)
-She has two new teeth. Equalling a total of eight teeth. (She had six when we got her in September.)

Anyway, that's a little bit of a look back in the recent few weeks. But this is a new year, and we're going to fill it with many new experiences. I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot about them. :-D
