Our big girl!!!

(Not a great picture, but at least you can see how well she's holding her head up! Also, you gotta love that widow's peak. She gets that from her daddy! She's also got a crazy cow-lick in the front. Maybe her hair will grow longer so we can just cover it up! At any rate, you can really tell her hair is growing in! Maybe it will be long enough for bows soon!)

Kendall turned three months old this past Wednesday!!

We took her to the doctor yesterday for a check-up. She weighed 10 pounds, 15 ounces and was 23 3/8 inches long. Kendall is on the bottom end of the curve as far as weight goes, but the doctor said it wasn't any big deal as long as she is gaining weight consistently. I guess she's just going to be long and lean like her Pop! Our doctor was very pleased with her progress and told us a million times how great she looked. Of course, Evan and I were happy to hear good things!

Kendall is on the verge of rolling over. (Even the doctor told us yesterday he could tell it wouldn't be very long!) She's pushing off on everything, and even gets really frustrated about it. She has started laughing out loud a little more consistently, but still won't do it all the time. We've also had to retire a couple of 0-3 month sleepers because she's getting too long for them! It's really fun to watch her hit these milestones!

The doctor also encouraged me to begin stretching out her feedings during the day. I'm a little nervous about this, just because stretching out her feedings will cause one feeding to drop. She sleeps through the night all the time (usually from about 10:30-7:00) and I'm afraid dropping a feeding will cause her to wake up during the night. I do think it's time to stretch out the feedings a bit, mainly because we are having to wake her up almost all the time to eat! Stretching the feedings should also help Evan and I get into bed earlier, which is a good thing, since he started classes this past week and is needing some extra rest!

Other things that are going on...

Kendall and I started a "mommy and me" walking class at the Seminary a couple of weeks ago. I know it doesn't sound like it, but it's a WORK OUT!!! We go two mornings a week and have had fun meeting some other mommies and babies!

Thursday morning bible study also started back this past week. I'm so excited to be doing a Beth Moore study again. It's been a while. I think the last one I did was Believing God about three years ago. We are doing Stepping Up: The Psalms of Ascent and although I've only worked through one day, I think I'm going to learn a lot.

Last night, Evan, Kendall, and I went to the Seniors Game Night at our church. (This is a bi-monthly event at our church for the Senior Adults, however anyone is welcome to attend.) We had a blast! For those of you who don't know, Kendall being 8-10 hours away from her grandparents, great grandparents, and aunts is a BATTLE for me. (I mean, lots of tears are shed over this issue!) I grew up VERY close to both sets of my grandparents and love them SO much...it's hard for me to imagine Kendall not having the same experience. Because of this, Evan and I are praying that we will find "adopted" grandparents for Kendall while we are here and decided that attending Senior Game Night was a good place to begin getting to know "grandparent" type people. We played Skip-Bo (Skip-Boo as one of the sweet ladies called it) with three other ladies. Evan even won a game!!! We were probably the only couple there under the age of 40 and Kendall was the only baby, so of course, she got A LOT of attention! One of the ladies (named Leah) held Kendall most of the evening and even the men were talking and playing with her. I must say, it was JOY to my heart seeing Kendall get "grandparent-like" attention!!!! One of the couples took our contact information so they could invite us over sometime! What an answer to prayer!

Better go for now...I'll try to post some better pictures soon. Maybe we can get her laughing on video and post it, too.

Love to all!
