4 Months!!

Holy moly, it's been 4 months already!!! SO hard to believe. We got her pictures made on Tuesday. They turned out beautifully. Hopefully Sears will get our orders straightened out and I can post them on here.
Kendall is already rolling over. We will walk upstairs and find her on her side sucking her thumb, it's adorable! I still think its the absolute best feeling when she smiles at me, and apparently I'm doing something right because she smiles all the time at me. I certainly love that little girl!
Everyday I know I have made the right decision in not getting too stressed out about not teaching. I am getting regular subbing jobs a few times a week but most importantly I am spending more and more time with Kendall. We are planning her baptism soon! I am totally excited. I gotta find her a cute little white dress. She's gonna look like a little bride. The whole church seems as excited as I am to have her Christened.
Even though it's a half a year away, I am planning her birthday party. It's going to be a pool party. I bought her two swim suits this week. They were really cheap, I figure she'll only get to wear them a few times. She's growing out of clothes like a little dandelion weed!!!
Today while I was subbing, all I could do was think of how nice it would be to go home and see her. AHHHHH I just love her!!!
I'm trying to accumulate a lot of friends for her. Naturally, she has a billion friends who were just born this year. Erica had Daniel, Amanda is having Laci, Lisa had Adrian and a few others are having babies within the next year. And I have some close friends who are thinking of making a family soon. I can't wait!
We went to a 31 party last night and Kendall was hugged and kissed on by this little 2 year old. It was FREAKING cute as all get out!!! He had to kiss her a dozen times before he would leave. Even though he's a bit older, I'll be okay with it. It was too cute not to be okay with it. I'm sure Matthew would have had a heart attack had he seen it!

Alright, she's cooing in her pack n play, so I'm gonna go play with her!!!

September

September has been a great month for us. Kendall is holding her head up great now. She will even pull herself up into a sitting position with my help. Today she bounced on her pony for about 20 minutes. She is the prettiest little girl. Everyone loves her so much!! We are taking her four month pictures next week. I am putting her in a little jean dress and sitting her next to a basket full of apples. I hope it turns out like I want it to.
Kendall finally got to meet her great-grandmother, Mimi, from my side of the family. Mimi seems to love her as much as I do. She sits and eats with Kendall's picture in the morning and always says she is a good little baby!
We finished our first chapter book the other day. We read the Watsons go to Birmingham- 1963. It was good and we read it at night time. Now we are in the middle of a Golden Book collection. Those stories are kinda crazy and pointless, but nonetheless we are reading every night! I hope that she is an avid reader when she is bigger, because that is where she will gain most of her vocabulary and it will help with writing and grammar all down the road! I love my little girl! Thank you God for giving me the best little girl in the whole wide world!

Road trip

We set out for Pennsylvania on Wednesday morning. Kendall and I spent the night at Nana's so we could leave early. We left around 9 a.m. Kendall did fabulously!! She slept most of the way, waking up every 4 or so hours to eat. We only had to stop twice. We got to go shopping while we were there. Kendall came back with a car load of goodies! Nana got her a new activity play mat where she has to hold her head up and look at pretty colors. I got her a Leap Pad reading notebook, new noise toy and some clothes, and we also got her a huge box of books for a 1.00 at a yard sale! My sister let me take a bunch of toys for her that she used with Robert, so we are excited to clean up some things and start playing!!!
On the way home, Kendall was soooooo adorable. She woke up and cooed "Hiiiiiiiiiiii." She only got fussy one time for less than five minutes. She was perfect on the whole trip. She got to spend some time outside and use her new hat that her aunt Jamie got her, it was cute! Her cousin Robert kept telling me she was really pretty :) it was sweet hearing that from a 2 and a 1/2 year old!!!
Alright, time to try to get some of her things organized!!
