Smiley Girl!

For me, one of the greatest days so far was the day that Kendall first smiled at me. I mean really smiled. I had seen a few little half smiles, but there's nothing like the first day she looked at me and gave me a huge toothless grin. I think it was so great for me because of how unhappy she had been with all of the reflux issues. It started to wear on me and I really wondered if she'd ever just be happy.

Anyways, she's has now been smiling since about 7 weeks, and she's smiling more and more every day. But, we've never been able to capture one on film...UNTIL NOW!

I know that I just got lucky and probably won't be able to capture another one for a while. So, I thought I'd share it. She is a happy baby!

Caleb's Spring Break

Last week was Caleb's spring break, so he headed out to California to spend the week with us. It was his first opportunity to meet his little sister. I'm not sure that he knew what to make of her, but we did manage to coax him into holding her for a few pictures.

Dad and his kids

Dan's mom also joined us for a few days, and it allowed me to get out of the house for a few days. I don't think she minded, and I think she enjoyed every moment of her time with Kendall. We had my family over one night to visit and watch some basketball.

Cute Picture

No real reason for this post, other than I just found a cute picture of Kendall that my dad took. I think that this picture is actually from a few weeks ago, but still pretty recent...

Mammoth Trip

We took Kendall on her first vacation to Mammoth this past weekend, and I'm pleased to report that things went great! Much better than I had anticipated, actually! She slept the entire time we were in the car, she was a great sleeper at night, and really happy all weekend. Here are a few pictures...

I'm 2 Months Old!!

A few days late with the picture, but I thought I'd add the stats from her two month doctor's visit...

10 pounds 14 ounces (53rd percentile)

22 1/4 inches tall (47th percentile)

39.5 cm head circumference (71st percentile)

Kendall's weight gain has been pretty slow (because of the reflux), so we're adding more rice cereal to her bottles. Hopefully this will help to keep the food down!

8 Weeks Old!

I can't believe it, but little Kendall is eight weeks old today. She's growing and changing every day. She's more focused on people and objects, smiles every day, and grabs and holds onto objects with more frequency. She's also keeping her head up pretty consistently and looks around at everything. For some reason she loves the ceiling fans!

Although we don't have our official two month appointment until next week, I have a pretty good idea of her weight because of all of our visits to the doctor for her reflux issues. I'm guessing she currently weighs right around 11 pounds, but I'll post the official stats after next weeks appointment. She has already grown out of most of her newborn and 0-3 month clothes and is into her 3 month outfits. 3-6 month clothes are still a little bit big.

Here's a look at the last month...
