Kendyl

Kendyl is personality PLUS. She is a spunky little 2 year old who's always on the move. I have a list of ladies in my ward who have all threatened to kidnap this little bean. You can't help but fall in love with her sweet little smile and animated responses to everything you could ever ask her. Talking has always come easily to Kendyl and she's been using full sentences for a while now. She copies alot of what she hears and it's hilarious when she uses some adult phrases.

Kendyl eats dinner if we spoon feed her. But if it were up to her, she'd live on fruit snacks and chocolate milk. She asks for these 2 staples all day long. "I want chocolate." She actually knows where they are in the cupboard and brings them to me. Sometimes it's easier to give in than always say no. As far as fruit snacks go, she's been limited to 2 packs a day ;) She's had a sweet tooth since birth. Most likely her mother's fault. She's sacrificed her life numerous times by stacking chairs and stools to climb up to the treat cupboard.

Kendyl is so much fun to get out of her crib in the morning. She is just a happy spirited little girl and always pops up with a smile when we walk into her room. "I'm awake!!" She tells us that each time while gathering every toy and blanket so she can take them with her. Her current favorite bedtime toys are her Carebear from Build-A-Bear, her Bulldog Webkinz that she calls "pooping moose" (his little brown nub tail may be confused with something else I guess.), her Glow Worm, and 3 soft blankets that she's had forever.

Kendyl is a pretty tough little girl, but has definitely had her fair share of owies...poor thing. She was getting the majority of them on her face a couple months ago, but last month she decided to stick with fingers. Smashing them, burning them and cutting them. She NEVER forgets where her owies are and enjoys getting sympathy for them long after they've healed. We've been through a decent amount of Band Aids.

Kendyl is NOT one to be left out. She fits in with the older girls perfectly. She wants to play whatever they're playing. She even has to "Choose my outfit", just like Camryn and Brooklyn (not cool). She gets into her closet and changes her clothes a dozen times a day. This is probably in part due to the fact that she's wearing panties and she's learned that she gets to pull her pants off every time she uses the toilet. Yes, she's convinced that you have to be fully naked whenever you go to the bathroom. I won't complain though, I'd rather deal with that and have her potty trained than go through the potty training nightmare. Kendyl spends much of her day streaking throughout the house. I can't say it's not cute and funny though.

We love, love, love this little tot and all the joy and humor she brings to our home. She's going to be an amazing big sister, seeing as she has a lot of Camryn in her as far as Baby-Love is concerned. Kendyl knows we need her to be our baby right now though and she's always good for a big hug and lots of cuddling. As much as we want her to STOP growing up, we can't wait to see what she's going to start doing next. She always amazes us.
