The small things & the LOUD things...

4 months old
How fast she is growing. It is like one day Kendra woke up and decided, I am going to move more than I have ever before. She is doing 180s in her crib. The new wedge is helping her out a little, but she was more of a still baby. I always thought how nice it was that I could lay her on her mat, get a glass of water, come back and she'd be in the same place. Not anymore. She shakes and moves all over. I can't believe the little 8 pound baby that was in my tummy 4 months ago is getting so big and changing so fast! We are enjoying every moment of her life and can't wait to watch her get bigger!

Kendra has found her voice! It is so amazing how much more she likes to let everyone know she is here! She loves to lay on her changing table and sing! Daddy and I think she has an amazing voice and will be on American Idol when she is old enough! She does not like to be left alone, even for one minute. The second we are out of her sight, she sings, loudly! It is wonderful that she loves to makes noises and hear herself! I am sure she is going to be like her mommy and talk a lot, especially since it has already started to out talk her daddy!

5 Things

Kristie tagged me, so since I was going through my blog I thought I would do this!!!
1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
Wow, 10 years ago I was in high school. Probably sleeping in on a Saturday morning after a football game or basketball game. I was looking into colleges for the next year. My life 10 years ago was a lot less busy and not so many responsibilities! Wow how things have changed.

2. What five things are on your to-do list today?
1. Go to a MOMS sale in Chaska with my mom
2. Put Winnie the Pooh picture up in Kendra's room
3. Play with Kendra
4. Make pumpkin bars
5. Spend some much needed time with Tom

3. Snacks you enjoy
Well, I love trail mix, but it has to be made with real M&Ms otherwise they don't taste right! Granola bars and fruit cups would be a couple more!

4. Places you have lived
Marengo, Prior Lake, Jordan, Mankato, Eau Claire, Marengo, Jordan

5. What are five things you would do if you were a billionaire
1. Become a stay at home mom - the best job in the whole world!
2. Buy an RV so that Tom and I could travel and not have to ride in an airplane - he hates them.
3. Go to Hawaii
4. Have child number two!
5. Buy myself a great new wardrobe not feeling the least bit guilty about deserving it.

Way too long....

So, I started this blog because I was pregnant and wanted to keep everyone up to date on how things were going, but I wasn't that great at keeping up on the posts! I should just have Kristie do my blog posts! So, as everyone knows, Kendra was born and is doing amazing. She is almost 4 months old:) She is a super happy baby and makes me smile everytime I see her, even at 3 am. Tom is very proud of his daughter as well. He doesn't see her much during the week, but when he does his eyes are filled up with joy!

There is so much that has happened in her 4 months of life and I am sure I will share some of those things throughout her life, so I will not make this a long post, but just know we are very happy with our lives with our little girl! I will try to update this more often to keep everyone informed of her growth and our lives!
