Post-Easter Photo Shoot

I realized late on Easter Sunday that we hadn't taken any pictures of Kendall that day. We hastily tried to take a few, but she was cranky and we didn't get any good ones. So, I vowed to put together a mini photo session the next time she wore her Easter dress, and boy am I glad that I did. We managed to get the cutest picture of her!!

My First Play Date

We had our good friends Brian and Rachel over this past weekend to catch up and allow their sweet little girl, Lily, to meet and play with Kendall. Actually, being 6 months old, Lily did more of the playing, and Kendall did more of the staring and crying. It's hard when you can't sit up yet!

Hi! I'm Kendall! Can we be friends?

Once Kendall had her meltdown, Lily was quite concerned and even shed a couple of tears herself.

Thank you Brian, Rachel and Lily for spending a few hours with us!

Just happy to be hangin' with dad

Today's Big Event!

I'm 3 Months Old!

Kendall turned 3 months old yesterday! Over the past month she's mastered holding her head up on her own and is cooing at everything! She's also gaining weight at a steady pace - she's up to 12 pounds, 7 ounces, which puts her in the 55th percentile for her age! She's getting really close to being able to sit on her own - I bet she'll be there by the time she's 4 months old.

Here's a look back at the past month...

9 Weeks

10 Weeks

11 Weeks

12 Weeks

Happy Easter!

Hope you had a happy easter! We had a great day (minus one frightening earthquake) with our family. Here's Kendall enjoying her new favorite toy - the jumperoo!!

Please, no pictures

Lately it seems like every time I pull out the camera, Kendall is more and more interested in the thing being pointed at her. She doesn't often smile for the camera like some babies do, but just kind of stares at it. However, she can only take so much of it before she melts down...

I don't try to photograph her crabbier moments, but last night I couldn't resist.

I'll just sleep right here

Yesterday Kendall turned 12 weeks. Were getting into a pretty good routine (with regular naps and a 9:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. sleeping schedule!!), and the little girl is more and more active when she is awake. She DOES NOT like to sit still with you while you relax and watch tv. So, Dan and I spend a lot of time walking from room to room while Kendall looks at anything and everything. Now that she holds her head up and can face forward in the Baby Bjorn, she's much happier. She didn't like it before, but now she will sit in it for hours. And, on a rare occasion, this happens...
