9 Months

Our big girl is 9 months old! I really can't believe it has been 9 MONTHS! This has been a very eventful month for Kendall. She is finally rid of her ear infections (at least we think so) and got her ears pierced. Kendall is expanding her palate by experimenting with school lunch. She has had mac-n-cheese, meatballs, pasta bake, green beans, graham crackers, vanilla wafers and mandarin oranges. At times she will hold her own sippy cup but still refuses to hold her own bottle. That's okay because the only time she'll let me cuddle and hold her is when I'm feeding her a bottle:) The biggest accomplishment this month is walking! Everyday she is taking more and more steps on her own. She has finally figured out how to really get around the house with her push walker, it is slow gowing on the carpet, but once she hits the kitchen floor she is off to the races! She gets so excited and proud of herself she grins from ear to ear. At this rate she'll be running at next months update. Kendall's new favorite place to play is in the pantry. That is where she hangs out now while we are cooking in the kitchen. She if fascinated by the soda bottles and fun chip bags. Doritos are her favorite bag. Kendall is starting to finally get some baby fat legs, but she is still so thin around the waist her poor shorts won't stay up. We went to the doctor on Monday for a well check and weigh in. Kendall is 17.15 pounds and 29 inches long.



I love this picture of Kendall, here she is saying, "Don't mess with me I'm tired"

Steps

Today when I went to pick up Kendall from school the teacher had some pictures for me, Kendall took some steps (about 10) at school today. They rushed and got some pictures of her so that I would have them. She has taken 2 or 3 at home the last few weeks, but she is really getting the hang of it now. Of course when we got home from school we had to recreate the big event for video. Now I present Kendall and her first (real) steps....



p.s. I know her shorts are way too big, they look like Capri's, but she is between sizes right now and if she wears a size 3mo they are daisy dukes and the ones that she is wearing today are 6/9 months but too big...already having problem finding the right fit.....

Yummy

Now I know why Harley likes to chew on these things!

Ears Pierced!

Now that Kendall has finally fully recovered from her ear infections we decided to get her ears pierced. Tonight Terry and I took her to get them done.
Here is a before shot


Here is the after shot.


She did really well, much better than I was expecting! She cried for a few minutes afterwards, but once I gave her a bottle she was good to go.

Pool Time

This weekend we went to my sister's house with the kids. Kendall and daddy cooled off in the pool. While Kendall isn't exactly afraid of the water, she still isn't totally sure about it. Here are some cute pics of Kendall in the pool. The bottom picture is Kendall in her dress my sister got for her in Hawaii a few months ago.

Happy Independence Day

Wave and Mean Face

Yesterday Kendall finally figured out how to wave "Bye Bye". She is so amazed by it. It is so cute.

We were also able to get a better video of Kendall doing her "Mean Face". She is almost over it now so I'm glad we were able to get it before she stops doing it. Enjoy.
