Six Months!

Our sweet pea Kendal is six month old today! It's gone by way too fast, but we've enjoyed it. Kendal is growing fast too, but right now we do not know how big she is. We get to find that out on Monday at the doctor's. We have been giving her a bigger variety of food to try and she is finally showing us that there are some things she is not too fond of-homemade carrots, and peaches are not her favorites. She still loves kicking and bath time a lot, but really hates being on her stomach. She can roll from her stomach to her back, but has no desire to go the other way. We have a feeling she may be a slow crawler. She can sit up by herself sometimes, but not for a long time. Her hair is growing in, but still has a way to go for bows and the likes. She has found her feet and enjoys sucking on her toes. She loves any household object she can find, such as the remote, hairbrushes, watches, and a little sanitizer bottle. She is fun to play with and giggle with and we love her a lot. Happy half-birthday Kendal!

Pictures to come soon, Marianne's aunt took some today and we will post them later.

Good Times





We were able to spend mothers day weekend in Idaho with Casey's family. We got to spend some time with the family and talk to Cody on his mission. I enjoy our visits up to Idaho, and i want to make sure Kendal gets to know the Darrington side of the family well as she grows up. I love to watch our siblings with Kendal. They're all a little bit different in how they are with kids; all are wonderful and so sweet with Kendal. Casey's parents can always get a smile out of Kendal, and I'm so grateful for the love and care they give to all of us. I'm truly thankful for the family i married into!

Swing

O the silly / cute things Grandparents do:

So a little over a week ago we had a family picnic up at the mouth of the canyon. Kendal took her first swing ride and loved it. (Sorry forgot my camera for that event). That same week my parents Grandparent mode kicked into gear and they tore down an old tree and put up a new swing set for their grandchildren Campbell and Kendal (and i'm sure future ones as well). They even got his and hers infant seats. I love my parents they are so wonderful and cute with their Grandchildren. My dad is a great Grandpa, he can always get a big smile out of Kendal, and he's just a big teddy bear with Campbell and Kendal. My mom is so wonderful always willing to watch Kendal, and gives her lots of love.
Kendal has been blessed with two Awesome sets of Grandparents and they all adore and love her so much. I just love seeing them all interact and play with their Grandchildren it makes me so happy!
