A Few of my Skills

Kendall is just growing so fast and her little personality is showing itself more each day. It's so neat! She just has the best laugh and loves to use it several times a day. Here's a little video I took of K this past weekend.

11 Months is Here

Hello 11 Months!


Our favorite time of the week is having breakfast as a family on Saturday mornings

Kendall and her new toy

Teething produces so much drool...but I'm still cute with drool all over my shirt

I love my rolling cheetah toy


What's new in our world now that Kendall has turned 11 months? We have moved back to Dallas and are getting settled in our new home. Troy's hour commute to and from work has now diminished to 15 minutes each way....ahhhh it's so nice for everyone. Troy isn't stressed and comes home in a good mood and we get to spend more time with him. Kendall is all over the place and curious about everything. I'm working on getting my home baby proofed ASAP! Kendall is teething and has been running fevers on and off because of it; she has been a bit more fussy but over all in good spirits as usual. She is pulling up and walks very well when helped. I think in the next couple months she will be walking on her own.

We had a nice weekend. We got some stuff around the house, hung some pictures, cleaned out the garage, organized some shelves, worked on the yard and watched some movies. We spent some time with family and saw our niece, Katelyn, get baptized.

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.
