Sitting Pretty

Please excuse my ugly outfit (laundry day, you know how that is), but I wanted to show the world my new skill, SITTING. And playing with alphabet blocks. Both rock.

Mom was sure surprised when she walked out and found me sitting in the living room with Grandma Gorman, playing with my blocks, like a big girl. Pretty soon I'll be crawling.

Hanging Tough

We spend Sunday couch shopping as a family all over Schaumburg. We didn't hit Crate and Barrel again, but we did drive all over, and came home with nothing but new pants (but mommy now has pants that fit - YEA!).

As we shopped, Kendall was a riot, and got more entertaining the longer we were out. First off, we had to dress her like a rock-star to go couch shopping - you need to be tough to look for a leather couch.

I didn't get a picture of her hat, but imagine this topped off with a pink hat that makes her look like Doppy, of Disney fame. We are talking fierce.

Then, not only is she grinning, she is zerberting everyone that walks by. Predictably, the more we laugh, the more she does it, and the funnier it is. She made a unsuccessful day of furniture shopping way more entertaining than it would have otherwise been. Kendall makes everything more entertaining.

Sunday Morning with Kendall

I've talked about how friendly the Kendall is in the morning. She is just a bundle of sunshine. Happy, cuddly, smiley. Pretty much just like this...

That is one happy kid.☺

Are you watching me?

Pass the chips...

Just like daddy.

Kendall likes to watch me cook, so she sits in the Bumbo on the counter and plays with her toys. We sing, I do the hokey pokey and shake it all about while I cook, she plays with her toys and all is well. Problem is, after she drops all the toys, if I don't pick them up again fast enough, she starts grabbing for anything else remotely within her reach (which is further than you would think). This day, I forgot to clear the counter. Oopps.

Carrying on

Kendall has just about out-grown the baby carrier. How do we know? a) That baby is super heavy to carry up and down the stairs in that carrier, quite the workout these days and b) she can reach the toys attached to the handle. Not a good sign that this is going to last us some more time. To commemorate the carrier (and that hat she is clearly growing out of), we have posted this picture.

If I have my way there is some cowmooflage in our future. I will sure miss the Bundle Me, we will have to go with a snow suit next year - which always makes me picture this.

Cuddletime with Grandma Gorman

Kendall had just woken up, and was none too happy about it. But she did like a good cuddle with Grandma.
