Phone Calls and Phony Smiles

Kennedy has finally caught on to what the phone is for.  Kind of.  As you can see from this picture, she doesn't quite know how to hold it, the mouthpiece is a little bit behind her ear.

Yesterday she sat there and talked on her phone for quite some time, and she even paused to listen for whoever she was talking to talk back.  It was really cute.  She also learned the word "ball" and what it is without me even trying.  The other day she just picked up a ball and said it over and over again.  Her vocabulary is really starting to get big.  And those aren't the only things she's figured out.  She finally realized that she's supposed to pose for the camera, but lately she's been doing this really funny smile.

I don't know if it's a fake smile or what, but she does it all the time now.  She wrinkles her nose and shows all of her teeth.

She still does her regular smile, but this one shows itself several times a day.  She's the sweetest girl there is, even though she's teething and all 4 molars are trying to come through at once.  She's still just all smiles!
