9 Months

 Kenzey turned 9 months old almost two weeks ago. I feel like life is on fast forward for me now, I really wish it would slow down! Anyway, she is getting so big and growing so much. I still haven't weighed or measured her, next month. She is still the happiest little girl and is now on the go! She loves to crawl around and pull herself up on EVERYTHING. Her balance is getting better and she may be walking in the next few months. She already will let go and stand for a bit by herself and she really tries to stand up in the middle of the room. She has an awesome appetite and has virtually cut out all her bottles, just snacks with them now. She is finally signing for me, she resisted forever but knew what I was saying. Now she signs "more" and attempts "drink". She is also starting to be more verbal and attempt words. She still loves her sisters and just loves to be with them. Kenzey is so fun and her personality is really coming out. I have moved her into 12 month clothes (the ones I just put away from Lyvi not too long ago), and she is moving up to a size 3 in shoes. Kenzey really is the best baby, she loves to go places and is so happy. Loving this girls so much!
This is my favorite picture of her this month, post pulled-pork nachos (which she loved).
 Standing everywhere.
 So cute, but wouldn't smile for me!

12th Birthday!

 Ashley turned 12 last Friday. I can't believe that my little girl is growing up so fast! It is a big year for her. She gets to start YW, pointe, middle school, and ride in the front seat (all of which she is super excited for). We had a fun couple of days.

Ky decorated her locker....she was so surprised and loved it!
She loves her new nook! She is constantly on it.
First temple trip to do baptisms, she was so excited and I am so glad I got to accompany her.
more presents with family
best photo bomb of the night!
Kenzey enjoyed seeing everyone
Cake.... loved making this one, cute and easy! I do need to get a darker purple paste though, the lavender looks greyish.
Missy you were there too!
Her actual birthday was "pretty great". Thanks everyone.
Saturday I took her and three friends to the salon for hair, nails, and then ice cream. They looked so cute, you can tell by the awesome pics they gave me! We had fun though, and I enjoyed getting pampered and not hosting!
Birthday photos, these are my favorite three (the last one is my fave though).
I can't believe how fast she has grown up. It seems like yesterday that she was three! She has grown up into such a wonderful sweet young lady. We are so proud of who she has become. We couldn't ask for a better daughter! I just love everything about her and what she stands for. I am so grateful for the relationship we have and that she can tell me everything (I hope it always stays that way). 
Happy 12th Birthday Ash, we love you!!!
