Everyone has always mentioned how quickly little ones grow. Before you know it, they're smiling back at you. Then one day they are crawling, walking and talking. The next thing you know, you've almost forgotten how small they started off, how light they were, and how incredibly fragile they seemed to be. Well, in Kenna's case, she wasn't small for long and she never seemed quite fragile. And it seems she'll be walking befor too long (she's pulling herself up and working on the leg coordination now). And I still remember how small she was and when she first smiled at me.
She's become so aware now. I say this more because she seems to know what she can and what she cannot do. She knows when she can't pull herself up and yet wants up, so she turns to me and extends her arms as if to say, "hey, lady, a little help here please." She just seems to get things that are in process. So when she's about to eat and I'm cutting up food for her, she waits until I have the little bits on her tray. When I'm making her bottle, she knows that there is mixing and assembly and then finding a dribble towel and then sitting in our chair before she gets her snack. It is amazing to me that she gets it all like she understands that there is always a process to things happening around her.
That isn't to say that she has patience. She is still her father's daughter. ; ) Speaking of which, she called him "Da-da-da!" this morning (Father's Day). You should have seen the smile of his face!
I'm glad we take pictures, so I don't forget these times as quickly. And still I also know that I keep them locked in my personal memories too.
Below are are some pictures of Shivani Kori and Kenna. Shivani is the daughter of our good friends Arun & Mamta. These were taken at Michelle's bridal shower.
Enjoy!
