Kendall Turns 2!

Our baby has become a big girl, though she often will tell you otherwise. Who's in the mirror I'll ask her as we star at our reflections and her response is "Ten-dal, Baby!" On October 10th, Kendall celebrated her second birthday. We had a party for her at a local park. My parents, brother and sister in-law where in town which was awesome. It was so nice getting friends and family together for some fun and food and pleasant weather. Kendall had a great time at the park playing her friends and Uncle Jon. It was a nice 'bug themed' party!

Kendall's 2 Year Old Pictures a Month Early

Kendall and I just returned from a great trip to CA to visit my family. We had an awesome time hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa Lap or Ma and Pa as Kendall calls them, seeing my brother and Lou and catching up with friends. I've got pictures of our adventures while away but thought I would share these photos I had taken of K since I don't have the others downloaded.

I haven't had professional photos of Kendall since her 1 year birthday so I thought it was time to capture how much our sweetie has grown and changed. She really did well at the photo session we did on the grounds of Wine and Roses. But she had her mom and Grandma working over time to get her to smile and get her hands out of her mouth...not sure what that was all about. I couldn't be more happy with how the pictures turned out.

The white pleated dress with pink pipping that Kendall wore in some of the shots was a dress my mom had me photographed in when I was Kendall's age. And yes she did get it soked while splashing in the fountain. There was a cute pink ribbon that feel off of it while shooting...darn ribbon wouldn't cooperate, but I guess after 30+ years it's understandable.

Jesica had me get in a shot of two with K. You can't see it, but Kendall is covering my growing belly. I'm 16 weeks on Monday. WHAT?!?!

Happy Early 2nd Birthday Kendall! (I love you and stop growing so fast please)

The Catch Up Post

There has been A LOT going on with our family hence my being M.I.A for several weeks. We've had house projects, rental property projects and yard projects, Kendall projects, as the pictures will show, and baby news. Our new little person is scheduled to arrive late February early March so we are very excited. I am feeling more like myself and getting a little energy back....I was SO tired.

Kendall is talking like crazy; no sentences yet but each day several new words. It's really neat. Today at lunch she sat there and pointed out my head, nose, eyes, mouth and ears. We are a pro at our alphabet, but mommy really needs to get K caught up on her numbers. We only know a few. 2 years old is just around the corner for our little girl. We can't believe it!

Kendall likes to point to the sonogram and say "Baby". When asked 'is that your baby' she replies "Yeah". When asked ' do you want that baby to live with us she replies "Yeah".....sure you do Kendall.
