Oh my

Aubree: "Oh, my, look at that kid."

Eyelashes

Aubree says that before Kendra was born we no know her a boy.  Her got out and her a girl.  Her got theses (pointing to her eyelashes).  I guess she has seen enough movies and books that they have  eyelashes on the girls but not the boys. 

Mom's got Bronchitis

I've had a runny nose and cough for a bit but with lack of sleep I got a even nastier sickness. Aubree waking an average of 2 times a night, and Kendra 1 time. I'm not getting the rest I need to prevent the sickness.  I really think when I have #3 I don't want to be working at a day care anymore. 

Kendra's 1 year

Kendra at one year

-Biting and carrying things in her mouth (our little doggy). 

-Loves bath time, hates getting out. 

-Camera shy, will smile for a brief moment and then turn her head away and purposely avoid the camera (sometimes smirking knowing she is avoiding me). 

-sitting on things or trying to climb higher, climbing in her car seat.

-baby dolls and hugging them. 

-bouncing & dancing.  

-she can sign more and all done. 

-I have caught her trying to copy me a few times.  Like drying something. 

-opening cupboards. 

Walking: up until now she used to crawl until about 4ft away and then stand up to walk to me. Now she mostly walks slowly but if she wants to get somewhere fast she'll still crawl. 

Sleep Deprived

So we now have 9am church... I was feeling ambitious and took the girls upstairs early. At about 7:20 we headed up stairs to get them dressed and have a short FHE. I didn't leave the room with them both asleep till 9:50. What a joke.  Part of it was cause Kendra threw up all over me (maybe over feeding? I feel my milk is slowing down so I gave her a bottle too so to top her off), and I had to throw everything in the tub and redress her.  Some time before 1 Aubree was in our bed (to darn tired to care to kick her out). Kendra woke at 1 and had a hard time setting. I finally got back to my bed at 1:30. I think it was less then a half hour where she woke again and I gave up.  We slept the rest of the night on Aubree's bed.  Not comfortable when trying to leave an 11month old plenty of room on a twin bed. I have no idea when she woke again, refusing to go back to sleep (maybe teething and an empty stomach, cause she threw up?). Nursing is great for settling just about anything. 😃  Bree decided to join us while dad was in the shower around 6:30? My bed is much more comfortable, but don't wake a sleeping baby that has a hard time settling.  So I hardly slept and all cramped up 😳 

Standing and a walking

Kendra decided to attempt standing on Christmas Day.  We all cheered her on so she decided to then take her first step that night since she had quite a few cheer leaders.  She is determined and keeps practicing standing. 

Know what I want

When I try to give Kendra a toy (when in the midst of a bunch of toys) a lot of the times she ignores me and reaches for a different one.  She definitely knows what she wants.  I don't think Aubree was this way.  I think she usually grabbed the toy I was giving her.
