Her head bands arrived!

Kendall has all these beautifully made hair bows and is still a little behind the curve with the hair growth...so I decided to buy some head bands and they arrived in the mail today :o) I bought a white one and a brown one - I think I like them so far although I'm not sure Kendall agrees with me...she already knows how to pull them off!

Miss Fussy Pants

Kendall has been extremely fussy today and to add to that, Trenton has worked his 7th day in a row, so it was the Mommy Show today...again...Yesterday was a different story - I took her on a long walk with Bandit and she "helped" me clean the house. Today was fuss fuss from the start unfortunately. At least she was content while I was at the mall - thank goodness. I decided to take advantage of the Tax Free weekend and bought Trenton some new work shoes. I looked briefly for myself and Kendall but the crowds started to get to me, so we left pretty quickly after the shoe purchase.

And Kendall has said her first word!!! It's "ma ma" :o) I have a few okay videos but I'm having trouble uploading so it may or may not make its appearance on the web...

And her first word is....

Ma Ma! You'll notice Trenton trying to convince her that it's "Da Da", but it's not...it's "Ma Ma" :o)

A little game we like to play called "fetch mommy"

Solo week

Just a quick note before I begin the bottle washing, bed ready-ing routines...it has been a particularly hectic week and I cannot believe it is almost Thursday! Trenton has been in Vermont this week so I've had my first real 'single' parent experience...I definitely have not been bored! I also got highlights done today...still getting used to them. I haven't colored my hair in about 4 and a half years so anything different from the dark is pretty much a shock. The highlights are just around my face, but they are relatively light to the rest of my hair so it's a little to get used to...

I have been trying to catch as much of the Olympics at night as I can...Michael Phelps is rediculously good...I mean, how can a person be THAT much better than EVERYONE else? And I seriously need to start swimming - their bodies are crazy toned. The ladies gynastics were a little of a disappointment last night - I could have just cried for that one poor girl that fell twice - I could totally see that experience happening to me!

Camera Fun

"Athlete Kendall"

"Playing with Bandit"

"Incognito"

"I am done with the head band!"

Twilight Picnic

Well, it wasn't exactly a picnic because we didn't have anything to eat, but we still had a fun time sitting on Trenton's perfectly manicured grass in the still smoldering Texas heat. Bandit and Jolie seemed to enjoy sharing "their hang out" with us too.

It has been a hectic week - unpacking, getting back into the swing of things at work, and finally cleaning the house this past weekend. I've been meaning to write down a few things that I find just too cute about Kendall, so here goes...I love it when I come in to check on her before she nods off to sleep and find her scratching the back of her own little head. I also love it when she has Bear-Bear in a head lock...she must get that from Mommy :o) I love when she grabs both sides of my face and plants the biggest, wettest, messiest, sweetest "kiss" all over me. And the things that brightens my day the most is when she completely lights up sometimes when she sees me...it makes any issue that may have been troubling me earlier totally melt away...
