Car ride Queen

Today I took you out to do our favorite thing..... SHOPPING!! Where off course you were an angel, until you decided you didn't like the elevator music playing at Kohls and screamed your head off for a few minutes. Luckily, I knew you were just getting tired, so I strolled you around the store (people probably thought I was out for my mid-day walk we circled the store so much), and you fell asleep. You woke up while I was putting you in the car, and you just smiled at me. It was really cute. Daddy installed a mirror in the backseat so I can see you while I am driving and I have to say you are one awesome kid. You sometimes fall asleep in the car, but when you don't you just look around and babble. We just talked/sang the whole way home. You are officially the car ride queen, and I love every minute with you.

Lights....camera.....swing!

Well today you played a great trick on mommy. The plan was to decorate the house for Christmas so that we could get your first tree one day soon. After sleeping from 11-7 last night then taking a nap from 9-11:30 and 1-3 I finally was able to play with you. I was so excited because I knew you would love the decorations, and I wanted to take some pictures of you with them..

SIKE!! You wanted nothing to do with it all. In fact the only thing that made you happy was being in your swing with a pile of christmas lights in front of you to stare at. My how you love bright lights. So that's where you stayed while mommy decorated and sang songs alone:( I'll get you next year missy. Love you.

Double poop

Today was the first day in your entire life (81 days) that your pooped more than once. Daddy and I have been a bit worried because you normally don't poop that often, but today you did it TWICE. And they weren't little ones either. What a big girl. We're so proud of you Kendyl.
Love You

Short and sweet

Today's post will be just like you... short and sweet. We had a great lazy day, just the 3 of us. We watched football, and videotaped you becoming a chatterbox. It is really cute. You slept a lot and me and daddy did some work. You are getting to be such a smart little girl. I love every minute of the day because of you and I am trying to forget about the day I have to go back to work :( Well, I love you missy and thanks for being my everything, but especially for being ....short and sweet.

I was close

Last night you fell asleep around 11:30 and were up and fussy around 4:30. I guessed 6 hrs, you were down 5. However, after about 5 minutes of uncomfortableness (is that a word?) you quickly fell back asleep until 7am when you decided it was time for breakfast. Then you slept again till 11am, when you decided it was time for lunch. After that we changed your clothes (and diaper) and then hung out for about an hour when you decided you were yet again, sleepy and you took a nap with Daddy. That was pretty much what we did all day, until we went to Aunt Heidi's house to feed Kokomo for them because they are still out of town. On our way home, we stopped and picked up dinner and then grandma and granpa came over to see you. You were so cute with them. At one point you were babbling like crazy while grandma was holding you. We all thought you said "I love you", it was really funny. I love it when you are happy, which is almost all the time. After they left, we did some shopping on the computer and then we settled down and got ready to go to bed. I just put you down about 20 minutes ago and you quietly fell asleep. This has been the best 11 weeks of my life. Thank you for being so special and making me feel so loved all the time. I love you, Kendyl.

More cousins

Today we had special visitors. You Auntie Lisa and Lenee came over along with your cousins Aaren, Evonne, and Garryl. You were kind of grumpy for most of the day (probably because of your huge sleep last night), but they still adored you. This was the first time Garryl has been able to meet you because he goes to school in Arizona, but you have met the girls before. Well, Daddy cooked for us all and we all just hung out and admired you. After they left, me you and daddy just lounged around. We had a nice family afternoon, then me and you fell asleep on the couch for a little bit while Daddy watched whatever sport he could find on a Friday night. Right now you are hanging out with Daddy getting ready for bed. I wonder how many hours you will sleep tonight. My guess is 6. Let's see how close I am tomorrow. Well, I'm so happy that you have such a wonderful extended family in your life. You bring so much joy to everyone and we all feel so blessed to have you in our lives. Thanks for being so special and so dang cute. Love U 4ever.

"Thankful" is an understatement

Last night after I posted about your Thanksgiving, I fed you and then we "talked" for a few minutes. Then I swaddled you up, laid you in your bassinet and the next thing I knew you were fast asleep. That was 11pm (what a party animal you are) :) Before I knew it it was 8:30 am and you were STILL asleep. I couldn't believe it. You slept 9 1/2 hours :) and guess what..... so did I:) hip hip hooray.... Boy what a way to end such a Thankful day:) Love you so much baby girl.
