Kendall is just over 1 month old now and she changes so much everyday! She smiles so much now and it is so cute! She doesn’t mind tummy time so much and lifts her head up. I think she is very strong for her age. She can hold her head steady for a LONG time. Kevin and I have really enjoyed staring at her staring back at us. That is how we get the most smiles. She also follows us move back and forth in front of her face. And what parent can resist the coos and ahhs! Love it! The other day Kevin was holding her and had me on speaker phone on his cell. He said that she kept moving her head toward the noise.
And she is already a Daddy’s girl. Starting at about 2:30 in the afternoon, she HAS to have her Dad. I just don’t quite cut it. 2:30 is about the time I leave for volleyball practice so she has the routine of being with Dad and falling asleep in his arms on the rocking chair. Now it doesn’t matter if I have practice or not…2:30 is Daddy Time! We have also noticed other routines that she has started. We give her a bath every other night and after she gets out of the tub and gets her lotion rub down, she HAS to nurse and then go to bed. For the most part right now, 9:30 is the magic time to go to bed for her. She gets up around 2:30 and then again at 5. Of course she has some nights that she gets up every hour, but the schedule is starting to make itself.
One big difference that we notice between Parker and Kendall is that Kendall throws up A LOT! Poor Kendall throws up all the time! It started about 2 weeks ago and it was even keeping her up at night. She would be asleep and get a sour face, wake up and throw up. For about a week she would only sleep if she was being held straight up and down. We haven’t been to the doctor about it yet because it doesn’t seem to be slowing down her growth or anything. We did contact our pediatrician and she suggested cutting milk out of my diet. It has been hard, but we think it has helped a little. Night time is where we have seen the most improvement; day time is still a lot of spit up. It has been a little difficult giving up dairy – no milk, yogurt, cheese, sour cream! But very worth it if it helps her!
3 weeks old and flashing gang signs.

Loves her Daddy!

I just LOVE the hair!! My 2nd spit up constantly for an entire year! I was annoyed and worried, because at times it looked like more came out than went in. He was still gaining a ton of weight, so the dr didn't care at all.... it was just frustrating for mommy and made me smell like spit up all day long!
