 A little pre-Thanksgiving snack

 Oh yeah...dinner is served!

 8 months old...already pulled myself up...I'm so proud (mom and dad...not so much)

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

 A little Elf!

 Colton trying to entertain Kenley

 I love this kid's imagination!  He was a mouse in his mouse house...driving all around

 Typical evening around dinner time...love and laughter!

 A rare moment of him NOT in motion :)

 I win, Grandy!

 Grandy and I climbed the mountain!

Ridin' the ducky...quack, quack!

Sadly, our beloved Michael Ruggiero (aka Pop Pop to the kids) passed away.  We took a quick trip to PA for the services and managed to squeeze in some fun time for the kiddos.  We miss Michael, but his memory will forever be with us.

Just Kenley

 Ready for another Gamecock Victory!  (this is the night we BEAT Georgia like they stole something)

 Her first official hair bow...yes, it's held in with her actual hair...all two strands of it

 She loves being entertained by Colton

 Look at that sweet face!

 Being this cute is hard work!

Yes...it's a Gamecock on her booty!!!!

Kenley Crawls...Kinda...

Kenley has been teasing us a ton with her crawling skills (or lack there of).  Just this past weekend (10/6 & 10/7) she actually crawled 4 steps, but of course the camera wasn't right there.  She has yet to show her skills to Mrs. Lori (her daycare lady).  She is really enjoying all the baby food we've given her.  She has been quite a booger lately, only wanting to eat food, not drinking her bottles.  (Doesn't she know I work hard for all that milk for her to drink?)  She is sitting up by herself very nicely and has been eating in the big girl high chair with ease!  She has the most infectious smile and seems quite proud of herself when she does something new.

Okay, so these are completely out of order.  They're backwards!  Sheesh!

Just Kenley

 She has learned to roll from her back to her belly.  She gets a bit frustrated once she's there though.

 Poor Uma, this is what she gets most of the time from Kenley.  Nothing but crying.

Her first taste of rice cereal...she did pretty good!
