4 months & 7.5 years!

Today Kendal is Seven and a half and Alice is four months old! Kendal has always loved that she and Alice were both born on Sundays and on the fifteenth. It's something special they'll always share.
At Seven and a half Kendal is our little miss. She'll tell it like it is and she won't let you forget anything. She's our talker and our lovey child. She always has love for us and others. She has a sweet tender heart that she shares with the world. She's full of questions and full of words. Kendal's love languages are time, compliments, and love. She craves time with us and enjoys one on one time or doing something "special" with us (playing games, cooking, sewing, bike rides). She likes to give compliments, and also likes to receive praise and compliments. She is our little love. She loves to give us hugs, kisses, snuggles, and likes to be near us. Kendal is nearing the end of first grade. She has loved school this year and doesn't want it to end. She loves to learn and seems to absorb things like a sponge. Kendal is quick to learn. She amazes me with what she knows, what she's memorized, and what she learns. She is beyond excited to turn eight and be baptized this year!

  

Alice is four months old. She had her first roll over this past week from her belly to her back. She still kicks quite a bit especially in her bath and bouncy seat. She's got a strong core and likes to "sit up" and rock to her side. Alice had become quite the babbler and might just outdo her sister (which is saying something / heaven help us 😉) in a few years. She loves to coo and talk with people. She also has started to give some sweet giggles this past couple of weeks. She's generally a content baby, but she sometimes can give quite a fuss at night for no reason (colic, tummy issues??) Alice is getting some pretty sweet rolls on her. I love her squishy cheeks and leg rolls - they melt my heart. Alice is 14 lb 5 oz (50th percentile) and 26 in. talk (98th percentile) I've never had a baby this big; it's crazy to me, but I'm so happy she's healthy, happy, and thriving!!

Kendal adores Alice and loves on her everyday. She loves to hold her, love her, and talk to her everyday. She's started to lay on the floor with Alice while she reads for homework every day. Alice loves the pictures, and Kendal loves reading to Alice. Sometimes I feel like seven years is quite a gap in age and wonder how close they'll be growing up, but I know they'll share a special bond. I love these little ladies so much!
