Sweetness...

Ahhh...the sweetness of our baby girl overwhelms me sometimes.  She is so sweet lately NEVER to forget "baby Kendall" when we talk about going somewhere or doing something as a family.   And last night...one of the sweetest moments of my life...

Getting ready for bed, time to say prayers together.  We all sat together and Jorge said "Who do you want to pray tonight, Madison?"  She ALWAYS says either Mommy or Daddy...but last night she said "Madison".  Jorge and I looked at each other in shock and said "ok" and bowed our heads...

"Dear God, thank you for mommy, daddy, baby Kendall, shoes, and hairbows...and what's the next words mommy?"

I said, "Amen?"

She said, "Yes, amen"

Needless to say, for this hormonal pregnant chick it was a teary moment. Our baby girl said her first of what I pray are many prayers in her life.  I'm so thankful to God that we are able to experience precious moments like that with her...

Here are some fun facts about our precious, now 2 1/2 year old:

- She is potty trained!!! yippeeee! Only wearing pull ups at night. I couldn't be prouder of her

- She thinks she can do everything, not because she's a 'big girl' but because she's a 'big sister'.

- When she spins around she says "I'm getting bizzy"

- When she sees someone smoking she thinks it's a sucker because they pooped in the potty

- Chickfila excites her more than anything in the world

- She is VERY concerned with what makes us happy.  If we are stern or disappointed about something she does she'll say "that made you sad, mama?".  But the majority of the time it's "That made you happy, mama?" 

- When I laugh and my ever growing belly shakes she says 'that made my baby kendall laugh?"

- She can drink out of a big girl cup when I'm brave enough to let her

- She dresses herself and brushes her teeth

- She rides a tricycle

- She LOVES to sing and especially loves (like her daddy) to make up her own words to songs

- She will be moving to her 'big sister' room soon...full sized bed, etc. She is very excited as we have been getting it ready

She still loves "banoons"

She doesn't play with many things besides puzzles and us! But she does LOVE baby dolls...Thanks to our sweet friend Mrs. Dale for her 'big sister' gift of a baby doll :)

She is VERY expressive, like her daddy

One day recently I showed her the 'cup game' that I learned at good old Camp Maranook...She doesn't quite get it...but she thinks she does :)  Please excuse the disarray of her room...we're in the process of moving furniture to the new room.

One of her favorite new songs to sing (that she learned at school) is "If I were a butterfly"...to hear her sweet little mouth say "cause You gave me a heart and You gave me a smile, You gave me Jesus and You made me your child" melts my heart everytime...

Also please note after almost every video she says "I wanna see"...hehe she wants to see what I just filmed...

If you can't understand the end of this one, she's letting me know that she's ALREADY sung two songs...and that was enough...
