Mean Momma

The video I posted yesterday just wasn't good enough so I had to get a better video of Kendall's angry talking. Yes, I'm mean but it is just so cute! (Mama Michelle - she totally went from 0-60 in yesterday's video! She wasn't a fan of Daddy's raspberry apparently lol)


And now a not so mean video of some normal babble :)


We strategically placed that "angry" looking Mickey head above Kendall's changing pad. Mickey doesn't like stinky diapers :) A little further up the wall we have another Mickey head laughing at the angry Mickey. It's the little things....

7 Months!

Baby girl is 7 months old today! Let me just say that it is becoming impossible to get her to sit still long enough to take our monthly Mickey picture! I would try tonight to get better ones but she destroyed her 7 month sticker haha!

Mike and I are not going to be surprised if Kendall starts walking before she crawls. All she wants to do is walk around the house. She started this about a month ago when we held her up and she started to take steps. She is now holding all of her own weight on her feet and just using our fingers for balance. She's pulled herself up to standing on her own multiple times (on us) so I'm not sure how much longer it will be before she figures out she can pull herself up in her crib or on the coffee table. Guess it's time to truly baby proof! I'll work on getting some video of her walking.

Kendall is developing quite a sense of humor. She is a very silly little girl and often has me laughing to the point of tears. She is starting to learn new sounds and we love watching her move her mouth around differently to figure them out. She does this talking thing when she is upset now which is so cute its hard not to laugh. It's almost like she's trying to tell you why she's crying in her babel language. This morning I swear she was saying Mama (in babel) because every time she made this same sound she would look at me. Who really knows though.

The best picture I got. Of course it was right as she decided to spit up half her breakfast.

Attempting to rip of her sticker, for the 10th time

Let's try the sticker on Mickey now...
Look at how cute I am mom and dad! No need to notice my hand slyly ripping the sticker off Mickey...

We haven't gotten her weighed since her 6 month appointment but she is for sure gaining weight. She finally has a little belly and she's starting to get rubber band wrists hehe :) But, just so prove how small she still is, those jean's she is wearing are the same pair she's been in since she was 2 months old. 0-3 months. CRAZY!! You all know how much I love babies in jeans and I have 2 new pairs for her but they just fall off when I put her in them and stand her up (6-12 size). So she's just getting REALLY good use of this pair!

K at just over 2 months in her baby gap jeans
K now in the same pair! They are getting to be a tiny bit floodish ;)

Mini Rubber Band Wrist!

Mike just sent me this video :) It's kinda poor quality but I just love how big she opens her mouth to talk!

At the end of this short video I caught a little bit of Kendall's new cry talking. Cute right!?

I always wait too long to start taking video! Santa got Kendall this stack-able Winnie the Pooh toy that Kendall loves to watch get knocked over. We were doing this for 15mintues or so before I had Mike start filming and shew as cracking up every time I knocked it down. She is still laughing in this, but not half as loud/hard as she was earlier.

Just Because

I did so well keeping my posts up throughout December I don't want to fall behind again! Here are a bunch of K so far from the New year.

Adorable outfit from the Van Zants :)

I love her in these colors!

Our New Years Eve munchkins!

We think Nicholas may have a tiny bit of height on Kendall :)

Kendall in cousin Lexi's dress. Loved it on Lexi, love it on Kendall and I'm sure I'll love it on Lacey's girl when she has one ;) Notice our skinny minnie getting a little chubbier??

Meeting baby Jack for the first time. I love how all newborns seem to do this "thinker" pose!

Auntie Mandy with our newest fun weekend member!

Tia Vicky feeding Jack

Karen, Evan and Momma Jennie

Uncle John and Kendall
K LOVED this toy. The Bowen's actually bought it for Logan but K kinda took over. She was like a little dog holding onto it with just her mouth!

And she LOVED Keeping the "strings" her her mouth and letting them snap back.

Me, baby Jack, Auntie Mandy and K

She loves her Auntie (and that toy!)

Cousin time! Kendall actually looks bigger then Emily in this picture!?

Our little model Olivia

Stacy made the girls these adorable matching shirts!

Photo shoot in Liv's room!

Liv is such a good big sister/cousin!

Kendall spit up on Liv's bed and she had the best reaction. "Ewwww no more cousin throw up on my bed...EVER! No more cousin on my bed!" (All said while laughing)

K opening her Christmas gift from the Dirksen's the only way she knows how...

Up close and personal during play time

K's been blowing raspberry's for a while but she has just started to do them ALL the time. Be warned, you will get sprayed!

Laughing at her Daddy

Daddy is so much fun to play with!

Happy girl after her dinner

Kendall seems to really like drinking water. She hasn't quite gotten the sippy cup down but she is a pro at drinking out of a normal cup. I can't wait until she starts making the "awwww" sound after she takes a sip like her cousins did!

Model in Training

The wonderful and amazing Kim (http://www.tatumbrooke.com/) came over to my parents house mid December to do Kendall's 6 month photo shoot. Our always smiling, laughing and silly baby transformed into serious starer the second Kim pulled out her camera! What is it with Kendall and professional photographers? As Lisa put it best in her blog post from yesterday, Kendall will just make a great model when she's older :) Anyways, we were worried that Kim was going to have to come back for a second re-shoot but after seeing the pictures that she got there is no reason for one. I know I'm bias, but how stinking cute is this kid?? I loved the black and white versions of these pictures as well, but in order to cut back on posting pictures I just put up the colored ones (expect for the few I only have in black and white). Enjoy!

Damn that creepy soft spot! It made it's appearance a few times if you hadn't noticed.

Mike really wanted a picture of Kendall in his home brew pot :)
