1st Day of ‘School’

Kenzie attended her center for the first time today and, as you can see, wasn’t bothered by the thought of staying one bit (can’t say the same for her mom!!)

Once in Ms. Tawney’s classroom, Kenzie settled in to the Boppy and was content to watch everyone move around her.

She only stayed 3 hours her first day and her teacher said she was very laid back, even taking a nap in her crib! Even though she had a good first experience, she was still happy to go home with her mom.

Kenzie found her hand!

It’s so neat to watch Kenzie develop new skills each week. This week she is keeping us entertained by watching her hand! She is realizing that she has control over it, reaching out and grabbing toys. She also reached out to touch Brad’s beard several times! Here she is ‘flexing’ her new skills!

Staying home with Kenzie for the past three months has been amazing and it’s gone by so fast. Many said the best strategy is to sleep when the baby sleeps. That worked some of the time but I really needed to find something to fill the rest of the time…that’s when I discovered Pinterest! It started with ideas for pictures we should capture of Kenzie during her first few weeks, but then it expanded into a large variety of crafts and activities. Here are a few of projects I completed…
