Kendall is TWO!!!

O my goodness!! Our little Kendall Marie is two! I seriously can't believe it! It feels like yesterday we were bringing her home, but at the same time I can't remember our life before her! Justin and I started a little tradition last year which is that just the three of us go out to a special dinner to celebrate Kendall's actual birthday. This year we decided to go to Atami. It is a hibachi grill and restaurant. We have taken Kendall there once before and she absolutely loved the show. This time was no different. In fact, everyone around us was watching Kendall watch our chef prepare our food. After he was done, she took her chop sticks and tried to imitate everything he did! It was so much fun!!

Kendall, you have really started to let your personality shine! You are always on the go. You don't walk, you run everywhere! You are talking more and more. Our favorite is when you see something new or do something wrong and you say "O Gosh!!" then immediately covering your mouth with your hand. You even raise you eyebrows as you say it! You love to help. You love to help cook, and you love to help Mommy with the laundry. You especially love to put the clothes from the washer to the dryer! Though sometimes you put the dry dirty clothes in with the clean wet clothes!

She is a little grape monster!!

You could still eat oranges, grapes, bread, and ravioli all day, everyday! You are getting better eating more foods, but sometimes that is only after a few tantrums!! You love your milk and ask for it as soon as you wake in the mornings. You love to go grocery shopping and you love to "dry" us down the isles in the car buggy. You want to stop at all the food demonstrations and you always say "bite peas (please)". When you take a bit you close your eyes and say "Mmmmm". It makes me and the store employees laugh!

Kendall and Daddy before going to school on her birthday!

You love your mommy but you are by far a Daddy's Girl!! You do your little happy dance every time you see him when we get home from school.

You are such a little mommy! You absolutely love your baby doll (Baby Abby). You love to feed her, change her clothes, and change her diaper. You also read to her and rock her. It melts my heart every time I watch you with your baby. Your teacher at school tells me you do the same with your friends. You tell and show them what to do. And you know what?? They listen to you! Miss Tatiana says she loves watching you be the little mother in class!

Kendall Marie, we love you more than you could every know. We love the little lady you are turning in to. We thank God everyday that He chose us to be your parents.

We are so proud to be your mommy and daddy!!
