Standing, walking, teeth...oh my

My precious baby is trying to walk. Most of our friends who have kids as young as Kendall are all bragging and telling stories of how their young ones are already walking, even if they are younger than Kendall. I think I may have a lazy baby on my hands. She is trying, but she loves to have someone hold her hand while she teeters around. I'm glad she's not growing up too fast. I know she will do it when she is ready. Usually as soon as she decides to actually do something, there is no going back for her! In one weekend, at Stephanie's, she learned to sit up on her own.
Everyday, it seems, we are finding new teeth coming through. She has four on top and three on bottom that are all the way through, but it looks like she has two more on top and some molars coming through soon. Let me tell you, she's a drool pot. She's usually soaked by the end of the day. Good thing she has a walk-in closet full of clothes.
WHEN I get a job this coming school year, fingers crossed, she will be starting day care at Shepherds Way. We went and checked it out a few months ago and it's exactly what I have been looking for. Everything is catered to the child's age, even the play yard. I really enjoyed talking to the people who were in charge and taking the tour around. I absolutely love the fact that they do intergenerational works with the retirement center next door. It will be like having a grandparent over every day! Plus, they will get to read together. Kendall loves to be read to. I really hope that with all the reading we do together, that she will have a high vocabulary content.
She gets to spend the day with her Mawmaw today. Thank goodness for my mother in law. She is truly a God spend, as is my mom. I don't know what I would do if they weren't around! About once or twice a week they will take her for the day, which is good for Kendall as well. She gets to go to a new environment, with new animals and she gets to learn how to cope without her Mommy.

Well, there is a lot of cleaning to do while she is at her grandmas, so I better get to it. I hope everyone is having a fabulous start to their summer!
