Visit to Grandma and Grandpa Lap's

Two Saturday's ago, Kendall and I got back from a 10 day visit with my family in CA. We had a great time. Kendall had a blast with the Grandparents as always. We visited with the usual suspects - G & G Lap, Great Grandma Digi who by the way Kendall just loves to smile at, Uncle Jon & Aunt Lou, girlfriends from high school, family friends, met up with two friends from when I lived/worked in DC, and a friend I use to work with at Hutchins Street Square. We went shopping, to the park, on walks, had play dates, went to a baby shower and did tons of other things that are escaping me at the moment.

Kendall came back with several new things from CA:
-Went with 1 tooth, came back with 3
-She is saying Dada like crazy; hasn't associate it with Troy yet but working on it
-Speed demon of crawling and increased her distance and stamina
-Now is my little side kick crawling after me everywhere I go around the house; I love it!
-Now likes snacks and likes to put them in her mouth herself
-Loves to have books read to her especially ones about monkeys. K also loves to turn the page and is patient to wait until she is told to turn it.
-Has learned to stand up in her crib and then drop and bounce up on her bottom

It's amazing to see how much of what Troy and I say that she really understands. It blows my mind! Babies are so smart.

The day K and I got back from CA, Cousin Ashlee and Grandma G watched her that evening while Troy and I went to a friends wedding. They had an old photo booth there were Troy and I had a great time taking some crazy pictures that I have now proudly displayed on our frig. The day before K and I left for CA, Troy and I went on a double date with our great friends, Rolando and Shandra. They have twins so the four of us lived it up at the Jack Johnson Concert. We had such a great time. It's so nice to spend time with friends.

That's Right, I'm 10 Months

You heard it here folks, Kendall is officially 10 months. Didn't I just post that she was 9 months? Man that month went fast. What's new with Kendall. Well she offically crawled this past Saturday. She has done every move you can think of except crawling and now she has finally decided to do it. She chose to wait until she had a big audiance to bust out her moves. Grandma G, Ashlee, Troy and I all got to see her and each day she perfects her crawl.

So what else is new. She still has her one oh so cute tooth. Right now her favorite foods are cottage cheese and yogurt! She loves to jabber/talk, share her raspberries and hear herself cough. She has learned to turn on and off light switches and makes me stop before we enter and exit a room so she can do it. She is still laid back and rolls with the punches the majority of the time.

I'm drawing a blank on the other things she likes to do, but you get the idea.

Look at this sweet girl!

Now look at this sweet girl turn freak out on her mommy!

(I just looked at the baby monitor and K is actually sleeping like this right now.)

Who doesn't love to swim

I love that Kendall likes to put her face in the water and splash as much water out of the pool as possible.

Who me?!?! I would never splash my mommy.

In the last month or so, Kendall has a "shy" move. She demonstrated from her Aunt Lea Ann (aka Tia) when she said hi to Kendall.

Kendall multitasking. (Yes she rubbed her eye and made it bright red)

Good Morning Kendall! Nice bed head.
