Since i forced my husband to do homework all day yesterday, Kendal's eleven month update has been pushed back a day.
I'm finding it hard to believe that in only a month i'll have a one year old. Time has gone by way too fast in my opinion. I miss the days where my sweet little girl would just sit there cooing at me, kicking her feet a lot. Now she is everywhere, into everything, and babbling a lot. Kendal has turned everything into her phone these days. She puts her play phone, the remote, or even a block up to her ear and starts talking to it. It's funny because when she has a real phone to her ear, and someone is actually talking to her she just stares at it and wonders where that voice is coming from. Kendal still loves her books, and loves to open them and babble as if she's reading them to me.
This past months big milestone would have to be the fact that she Finlay went from her army crawl to a full on crawl. I still believe walking is a ways off, but i'm glad to see her up off of her belly (it was a lot of laundry). Kendal is a good eater most of the time, she doesn't hate any food, however she can be picky about how it's prepared (a bad habit i think i passed on). Unfortunately she still throws up somewhat often. I think that her horrible acid reflux that she had as an infant has affected her, and these days she tends to throw up easily. We're constantly switching formulas and trying to keep her calm and not fidgeting while she eats. Yes i switched to formula, i had a very hard time from the start of nursing, and figured once teeth came around i could finally have an excuse and switch, so when her teeth popped out, i jumped at the chance. (She also eats 100% better from a bottle, because of her reflux she'd either cry at most feedings, or throw up). Kendal loves playing right now she likes to discover things whether inside a box, cubbard, or toy she loves it. I can't keep a pair of socks on this girl for too long. A summer without socks has made her dislike them (honestly i think she's just taking after Casey, if he could he'd where sandal's as long as possible throughout the year). Kendal has a good crop of hair on her now, so i've been having fun with pony / piggy tails. She won't keep a headband on anymore either. I'm still so grateful everyday for the blessing that Kendal is in mine and Casey's lives. We are privileged to have such a wonderful little girl!
Update on Casey and i. Casey is in the middle of his busiest semesters of his entire academic Carrier. He's constantly at school, studying, at his practicum, or at his clinical. It's a little hard some days when i see him for two minutes in the morning, and a short time in the evening, but i know we're both doing what we need to right now. He's got so much to do and only so many weeks left, but i know he is working so hard, doing his best, and he can accomplish anything he wants. I get to spend most of my day with Kendal. We play and have fun, then she spends the afternoon with my wonderful family members while i work. I was able to go back full time to my After School job, i'm now a manager which is making me more money than before :). I enjoy the short break from home and Kendal, it's a wonderful job, but can have it's up and down days.
Well that's our life right now, a bit chaotic, but we're all doing well! I'll post a few pictures on here, and the rest on facebook.
