A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Update

Kendall is now 7 months old!!! Crazy how fast time goes by. She is about 27 inches long (i haven't measured her recently) and she is about 22 pounds. At work we stick her on the postage scale to see how much she weighs, its pretty funny.




  • She does this thing now were she bobs her head and it looks like she is shaking her head yes, so I will sit there and ask her questions where the answer is always "Yes" its pretty hilarious. I will ask the question and she will shake her head and smile and then stop and i will ask another question and she will nod and smile and it goes on until she gets bored. I think last night i got in about 20 questions.



  • Says "Da da da da da da" she can also say "ba" and "ta" but "da" is her favorite. We hadn't seen Jason for a few days over the weekend cause we were all sick and just wanted to stay home. Come Monday all day long all she said was "da da da da" so he came over and saw us and she was so excited. I tried to get her to say "ma" but she just looked and me and said "da"



  • She can army crawl (i think it looks more like an inch worm) she is getting really good at it and if she wants you to pick her up she will cry and crawl over to were you are, this morning she crawled all the way down the hall to try and find me.



  • Sitting in her highchair watching is one of her favorite things to do, probably cause she gets to play with the wooden cooking spoons (she loves them) also usually while she is in there she gets cheerios or a graham cracker to munch on.



  • We all had a cold this weekend and Kendall had her first fever and for once she wanted to just cuddle and be held (usually she cant sit still).



  • While we are waiting for her to get a spot in head start, we have a weekly home visit from our caseworker. Its kind of a pain in the butt having to take off early from work 1 day every week so this lady can come over and watch us play. I got a scholarship application to fill out so maybe we can get some funds from an alternate source to send Kendall to daycare. I think the home meetings are a waste of time and the only reason I am doing it is so that it helps get her into a center spot faster.



  • You can almost always get her to smile, she is very happy all the time unless she is not getting what she wants, which is usually when she is hungry or you are putting her down for a nap.



My older sister "Auntie Colie" will be here in a week from today and we are so excited cause we have not seen her since May. Kendall looks scared in this picture but she really does lover her Auntie.
