Two months!





Today our little Sweet Pea turns two months old. It's crazy the way the time has flown by. We celebrated by taking her to the doctors and giving her shots. Kendal is now 10 pounds 12 ounces, and she's a little over 21 inches long. So she's progressing well. She did well with the shots, i was actually expecting a scream fest, but she fussed for a couple of minutes and was done.

Happenings from the past month.
- Kendal has become a lot more social. She gives lots of smiles (when she's in the mood) and she gives us the occasional cooes, however most of her communication is still in grunts.
- She's developed reflux, something that ailed us for a couple of weeks until we figured out what it could be, for the most part she's doing better with medicine, but she still has her moments.
- She's outsmarted us with her medicine and vitamins. She hates the taste of both so she just hold it in her mouth until she can wiggle free from our grasp and spit them out. It definitely is a chore to get things down her.
- She has learned how much fun kicking is. Whether it's in the bathtub, on her changing table, or on the floor she goes nuts kicking. It's funny when she really gets into it because she doesn't laugh yet, so her eyes just get really wide and excited while she does it.
- We were able to bless her. As you've read from my previous post we had her blessed on Jan. 3rd surrounded by family and love. It was a great day!
- Thankfully she is sleeping longer at night. We can get five to Seven hour stretches. Which has been great.

We are so grateful for our little Sweet Pea and excited for this year and all that it will bring!

Update on Casey and I. Casey is back to the grindstone with school. He has three semesters left until he graduates with his double major of Family Finance, and a teaching degree in Social Studies. So far he likes his classes, and hopefully will enjoy this semester. I am loving my time with Kendal, i enjoy being a mom!

She is so adorable! I think she is a wonderful mix of both of you. So great that she's sleeping longer too -- that's when I finally started to feel human again!

Happy Happy Birthday!!! I can't believe that she is 2 months already. In my mind she is a newborn and you just got home from the hospital.
YAY for more sleep!!
She is such a cutie...we sure love her!
