Kendall is 8 Months Old!

This beauty is 8 months old already!  She is the most precious baby :)  Alan and I keep saying we "hit the baby jackpot"!  She is laid back, sweet, easy going and to top it all off, she's absolutely adorable! 

She weighs about 18 lbs. now and wears size 9 months clothes, this girl has done a lot of growing in the past 2-3 months!  Her feet are still tiny, I really never put shoes on her though!  I tried to buy her a pair of cute summer sandals in June, size 6-9 months and they are still HUGE on her.  Oh well. 
She eats so well now!  She has baby food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and still takes bottles before naps and bedtime.  We are working on a sippy cup still, it's been hard to figure out without getting too sloppy :)  She still takes 2 good naps a day, morning and afternoon and is in bed around 7:30.  She wakes up with the biggest smile on her little face around 6:15 in the morning.....wish we could get that a bit later :)  But who can be mad at this face?!

The most exciting thing this baby girl is doing now though is saying her first word...."Mama" <3  Now it sometimes actually means "momma" but it also means "I want something that I see" :)  It's still sweet to hear though!

Kendall we all love you so much!  Alyvia and Colson love that you are interacting with them more and more.  Colson is already very protective of you.  When you cry in the car, he holds your hand and tells you it's okay.  He always makes sure you are coming with us wherever we go, we can't leave his "baby".  He is so sweet with you!  Alyvia loves her baby sister and still always gets the biggest smiles from you.  Whenever she walks into the room, you light up!  You guys already have a special "sister bond".  I can't believe that you are close to one year old.  I love watching you grow, but I'm sad you are not a little baby anymore.  As you get big, I hope you are always as happy and loving as you are right now, you are too precious!
