Mommy and Me

All six of us Kelley girls wore this dress for our 6 month pictures. So, naturally, Kendall had to as well. =) I asked the place if they had this same back round and they just laughed at me. Funny thing is I look much more like my niece Ami then Kendall.

Kendall 6 Month Update




Stats:
·         Weight 14 lbs. 13 oz. 25%
·         Height 2 feet 1.5 inches 33%

I am getting more and more fun! I love to talk and smile and communicate with those around me. I love to screech and scream really loud. Not out of anger or sadness, I just love to hear what my lungs are capable of. I’ve very proud of how loud I can be! I am a social girl. I really love all of my chew toys and am chewing on something constantly. Usually my own fingers, Mom’s fingers or my toys. I am starting to drool more too. I think my teeth will be arriving soon. 

I’m still an excellent night time sleeper. I’ve been sleeping through the night until 5 or 6 most nights. I wake up to eat and then go back to sleep for a few hours. I am getting better at naps. I take either two or three depending on how long they are. If I only get two I’ll go to sleep when my brothers do (around 7:30) and sleep all night. If I take a late nap I’ll stay up until 9 or 10. Mom and Dad don’t mind. They like spending one-on-one time with me.

Sometimes Mom has to wake me up or keep me awake to take my brothers somewhere and that throws me off. I do not sleep well on the run. I want to sleep in my own room. Mom can just put me down and walk out of the room and I’ll go to sleep. Sometimes I cry but it’s only for a few minutes. I decided I’m too old to be swaddled anymore. It doesn’t sooth my like it used to, it makes me so frustrated that I can’t suck on my fingers. 

I still can’t roll over. Mom is making it a goal this month to work on that.

Kendall is finally old enough for kids club at 24. Mom and Dad can get more gym time in, hurray!!

Another classic "Mom take a picture of us" moment


Six Flags during spring break

 Our first trip in 2014 to Six Flags.

Kendall getting some shut eye

Carson after a playground fall and being checked out by the paramedics. It wasn't a break, thank goodness

Poor Mama pushing all three in a two kid stroller back to the car. Luke was passed out in the bottom so I decided against the tram back bc I didn't want to get him out to fold up the stroller. Exhausting day!


Attempting Potty Training

I decided to try with Luke. He picked out some cool Skylander underwear and seemed excited. It was a cold rainy day so the setting was perfect.  I set the timer to go off every 15 minutes. In a 6 hour time frame he went pee on the floor 5 times, never in the toilet. I admitted defeat and will try again in a few months. I had to post his cute little bottom though anyway. =)




"Hey Mom, take a picture of me and Kendall." Something I hear quite often.








And Carson wanted to have a turn with the camera too of course

Kendall 5 Month Update




I am quite the conversationalist. I love to communicate and be part of conversations. My brothers think it is so funny when I “talk” with them. I have finally outgrown my 3 month clothing. I’m getting bigger and bigger each day. My thighs even have a few rolls now. =)


I rolled from my stomach to my back once. I hate being on my tummy and Mom never remembers to have me do it, so I haven’t had much opportunity. I am good at supporting my body weight on my legs and like to stand on laps and talk to the person holding me. I am just starting to realize the joy of putting things in my mouth. It’s hard sometimes though because my hand eye coordination isn’t perfect yet. 


I have had rice cereal a few times and I think I like it. I’ve sucked on cantaloupe, an apple and a banana and really loved those! I am still a amazing night time sleeper. Sometime I sleep until 7am, and sometimes I’m up a few times, but for the most part I wake up in the early hours to eat and go back to sleep for a few more hours. Mom has given up on leaving the house so I can have quality sleep during the day. I’m still trying to figure out how to be a good napper. Some days I take multiple 45 minute naps and am very grumpy and other days I take 2-3 2-3-hour naps and am much happier. 

I really am a beautiful little thing and my family loves me so much!
