Practice makes perfect!

We've been praciticing rolling over for a while now and last night Kenadie finally rolled over by herself. Of course I didn't see it for the first time. I was cleaning out cupboards in the kitchen and Bule was playing with her. But he yelled and made sure I knew that she had done it. So I ran in the other room with the camera and got her rolling over again on video.

You never really know how idiotic you sound when you talk to a baby until you hear yourself on video!

Just Because Kenadie is CUTE!!

My baby is 6 months old!

Holy crap, the time has flown by so fast!

Kenadie is such a fun baby at this stage in her life. Hard, but fun, if that's possible. She has such a cute personality. She's finally sleeping better, thank goodness. I thought I was gonna die a while back. She can sit up on her own and does really well. I'm feeding her solids and she loves everything I've given her so far. I don't think she'll be a picky eater like her mom. The other day my dad was holding her while he was eating lunch and she grabbed the Taquito right out of his hand and put it in her mouth. That was so funny. When she wants something, she does this funny face where she makes an O out of her mouth and puts her hands out to her side and kind of shakes, it is hilarious!

Here she is in action. Love it!

She loves to sleep on her side now. When I check on her at night or during her naps, she is either sideways or head on the opposite end of the crib. She just can't hold still.

She's always so intense and can't hold still and is so determined. I think she's fussy because she can't do anything on her own right now. I know she'll be so much happier when she can crawl. She wants to be so independent. Oh boy! My life will be harder when that happens. But it's fun to see her grow up and get her own personality.

I loved the moments when she was a newborn and would lay on my chest. She had no choice cuz she couldn't move on her own! But I don't miss the crying. She was so hard as a newborn so I'm glad that part is over. Now she will snuggle me for a mere 2 seconds when she is hungry or tired. She'll grab my neck and bury her head in my shoulder. I think that's her way of saying I love you mom, so I tell her, "I love you too". Or she could be telling me to whip out my boob and feed her!

Then there's Bule and Kenadie. Oh man, he is sooooooooo in love with that girl. I'm almost jealous! He'll say good morning to her before me. He'll kiss her all over, before me. He'll say goodbye and tell her he'll miss her then just say to me, Bye Bec. That's ok, though. I love seeing his face light up when he sees her. Especially when he gets home from work. I never knew a man's voice could go so high until we had a baby and he started talking to her! He is such a good dad and hubby. He's not home that often but when he is, he will play with her and sing to her and I love it. When he sings, he'll just make up his own words to songs. And I'm in the other room just laughing and what he says.

I love this face so much! I love being her mom!

This is what Kenadie gave me. How cute is that!?!

Kenadie is the reason that I'm so tired each day, my clothes are full of spit up, I have a garbage full of dirty diapers, my house is a mess with her toys, I smile and I'm a mommy. Not one day goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for sending such a precious little spirit for me to play with everyday. You know, when you're young, you plan to grow up, get married, have kids and live happily ever after. Not being able to get pregnant was never in my plans. So when we found out a few years ago that we wouldn't be able to do it on our own, we were devestated. It felt like the world came to and end. But then we met a great doctor who could help us. I am SO grateful for modern day medicine and all the different ways it can help people like us. Being a mom is the hardest and best job in the world. I was so glad to stand up in church on Sunday and receive the Mother's Day gift from the Bishopric knowing that I actually deserved it. I AM A MOM! I am a mom to the most beautiful little girl on earth!
