Photo Dump

Here are a bunch of pics from my phone.  Not too much explanation needed! This was her first time at church (below).  She slept all the way through SS and church!  Never made a peep!  One word to describe me:  lucky. FSU colors! I am slightly obsessed with snuggling with this girl.  She loves it.  Will wasn’t a snuggler.  I have a “no kid in the bed rule” at night, but during the day when we have nothing going on – what better is there to do? Feeling guilty that all the pics are Kendall ones.  But he’s at school during the day! Ally got him some new house shoes and he has to sleep in them.  Snuggling with Tigger and wearing his new blue shoes.  Precious. 

We visited one of my high school friends - Emily. Caught a quick pic of her 3 kiddos and Will.  A little hard to get in Kendall in yet.  Had a great visit and loved seeing them!

Sweet cheeks!

Little Miss Social

This has been the summer of babies!  I have so many friends who have had babies this summer!  Almost all of them are boys, too – only one other girl.  So there was Camilla, Tucker, Eli, then Kendall, Matthew, Carter and another Eli.  All between June and Aug.  There is another friend from SS that is due very soon – also a boy.  So basically we have all sorts of options if we want to start arranging a marriage.  :)  We love all these families so it would be great for us!

Here is Kendall on her first date – with Eli U. He’s pretty cute but they couldn’t seem to keep each other’s attention.  Maybe next time Kendall will work on her chit chat skills.Here’s Kendall and Carter S. Kendall was much more social this time, but Carter was not the least bit interested.  He’s still tiny so maybe on our next visit he’ll show us his pretty eyes.  And here’s Kendall and Tucker.  They are going to be at school together starting Oct 1st.  I hope they become buddies and watch out for each other!

Two Month Check-up

 I can’t believe it has been 2 months.  But, time does fly. Today we took Kendall for her 2 month check-up.  Of course, she is perfect.  Although her nose has been running and she is sneezing a lot.  Other than that, she’s perfect. She got a great report from the doctor.  Very strong girl with great social skills.  She just smiled and smiled at the doctor. She also showed him how she can roll over. He thought she looked great. Here are the stats:

Weight:  10lbs 2 oz (45%)

Height: 23 3/4 in (90%)

Head: 38.3 (50%)

So she is tall – which I suspected.  I really feel like she is long.  She is gaining weight.  Surprisingly, she weighs 1lb 3oz less than Will weighed at 2 months. I feel like she is a better eater, but I guess she really isn’t.  Funny how you remember things differently than what they were. She got 3 shots plus the oral vaccine.  Poor girl was not pleased! Below she was zonked out after!

Pearly Whites

So I did it, I finally took Will to the dentist.  I know it was a little late based on what they recommend, but I knew it would be a disaster when we went - so I waited.  I am so glad I did!  Will became intensely shy when we got there.  He did walk back and they eventually convinced him to sit up on the chair.  They could not convince him to lay down.  They didn't want to push him on his first visit, so they were ok with that.  Ms. Jenny cleaned his teeth and he let her!  I was very proud.  I think the awesome shades they let him wear helped. They didn't do x-rays yet since he was so timid.  Next time they are going to try to do that. They said his teeth looked great!  I was shocked as there was quite a long phase where brushing his teeth was an all out war.  Kevin had to hold him down and I had to brush.  It was a 2 person job and sometimes the job just didn't get done.  Either we weren't up for messing with it or one of us was unavailable, etc.  I just knew we were going to get in trouble when they saw his teeth.

The pics are out of order, but the above one was at the very end.  He got a prize (a small purple car) and he was so pleased! Below was the first pic where he was still really shy and she was trying to get him to warm up.  Note one hand in the mouth and the other in his pocket - ha.  Overall, it was a successful trip.

Sip and See

This past Sunday, my good friend Paula and my sister-in-law Tricia hosted a Sip and See for Kendall! It was an absolute blast.  It is so much more fun than a regular shower.  Showing off Kendall was way more fun that sitting and opening presents – so embarrassing.  They both put a lot of time and energy into the party and it looked amazing and the food was so fun. Paula actually made this cake herself – can you believe it?  Very impressive!

I love these centerpieces, too.  These might show up again at Kendall’s first birthday.  Shhh – don’t tell!

Love the diaper cake – almost too cute to take apart.  But I am sure I will once I need diapers!

I wish I had taken more pics of everyone that came. I got a few.  Lori and her girls. One of my bosses Sharilee and my Sunday School friend, Paige. An old Cleburne friend, Cherlynn, came and a good Tooker family friend Judy came. Work friends Melissa & Lena

Sunday School friends Ginny & Paige again.  (Poor Paige fractured her shoulder three weeks before her due date).

Melissa and Kendall (making a not so pleasant face) and Tricia’s mom Sue in the background The beautiful hostesses Paula and Tricia! My cousin Austin and his wife Megan brought their sweet girl Addilyn

Old church friends Dustin and Alicia (not married but their spouses were not there).  Kind of funny.

Neighbor friends!  Mary, Paula, & Stephanie.  Betty was there too but I guess she was gone once I took this pic. I love my neighborhood.  Sweet friend Morgan and work friend Sarah And of course Ally & Kayse (proud grandma and aunt)

And Mimi with little miss!

Kendall did so well with all of the attention.  She was worn out by the end! She was a perfect little honoree!
