A dAy in the LifE of a 17 mOnTh olD

Life is slowing down a bit for us here. Mitch is back in school, so the kids and I are getting back into our regular routine. So no more posts of our adventures for a couple of weeks at least. I was reading a friends blog who inspired this post. She told all about her routine but since mine is not nearly as entertaining and I don't want anyone to know how worthless I am I decided to follow Kenlee around with the camera for half an hour. Here are the results.
Wearing mommy's shoes and digging threw her purse(she knows that is a no no).

Another no-no, going threw my bathroom drawers.
The tantrum following, getting kicked out of the bathroom
I know that this is a retarded picture but she always grabs my hand when she is getting ignored and leads me to where she wants me to go, which is usually the kitchen for food. This was no exception but she was distracted along the way by the books that she had piled on the kitchen floor.
This is usually where Kenlee hides after her bath when she doesn't want to get dressed. This time she was hiding from the camera.
Climbing off the chair to get a book.She looks pretty comfy doesn't she!"Mom get that dang camera out of my face!"(ok, so she didn't really say that because she doesn't talk that good, but that is what she was implying here).
A quick recovery, distracted by another toy.
And about 3 minutes later she was zonked in her crib with her ever present blankie over her face.

Don't you ever wish you could be that age again. At least for the napping part. Well, both of my kids are currently asleep and I am going to take full advantage. I am going to curl up on my bed and fall asleep reading a book. I live for naps!!!

I live for naps too! Kenlee is darling. I love her curls! I hope Camdyn will have curly hair like hers. Oh and don't worry about Camdyn not recognizing you. I will put a picture of you on her nightstand and we will look at it every night! hahaha...no worries! Also thank you for the advice and yes please keep me in mind when you put your next scentsy order in. Have a fabulous day with your cute kiddos!

Man, she's busy! I'd need a nap too if my day was even half as "productive" as kids!

She is such a cutie! You totally deservea nap if that is what she accomplished in 30 minutes! Also, I love the family picture! Who took it for you??

I live for naps as well. I usually try to sneak in a snooze myself or catch up on a good read. I LOVE your family picture up top. Where was it taken at?

That is a good idea to follow your kid around and take pictures for a few hours. And it doesn't surprise me that she led you to the kitchen. I have seen that chica eat. Everything.

It is crazy to realize how busy these toddlers are. They do so much in a short amount of time!

I live for naps as well. It is the best part of the day! I love the pictures, we do many of those same things each day.

That's a cute idea for a post. I keep thinking that I need to record more day-to-day things. I LOVE her bedding also!!
