Brandon

January 21st was the 2 year anniversary for my brother's lung transplant, "Uncle Brandon" as he's now known.  It is amazing how great he is doing, God gave him a second chance at life.  We celebrated with friends and family at Hooter's and Stoney's of all places.  We had fun though!

The Joys of Motherhood

Kendall is 8 1/2 months old, and her personality is shining.  Here's some thoughts on mommyhood:

Loves

-Getting hugs and kisses from my baby girl
-How Kendall's smile and laugh melt my heart
-Seeing her develop and make new strides-
  cruising around the furniture and using toys
  as walkers!
-Finally Kendall is napping without a fight (most days)

Things I do because I love her

-Wake up 2-3 times a night (or more) to feed her
-Wipe a runny nose with whatever is convenient
-Eat a dairy-free diet
-Act goofy just to make her smile

I absolutely love that I get to spend most days with Kendall.  She amazes me with all the things she learns everyday, just like every other mom!  I try to enjoy the age she is now and not look too far into the future, because I know she's going to grow up way too fast!

8 months and growing

Kendall had her 8 month pictures last week, and it hit me how fast she is growing.  Though, I do love seeing her reach her milestones and discover new things every day.  Last night she was taking steps just by holding onto the furniture with one hand.  She'll be cruising in no time!
