My how time flies! A year ago beautiful little Kendall Tamra Clement was
born. Over the past year I have enjoyed seeing her grow and change. She now
toddles every where she goes, almost running. She is a smiley happy baby. If
you put your arms out she will come running for a hug with a smile ear to
ear. When she is getting tired I'll say "Kendall you want to go night
night?" She responds "nigh nigh nigh" and will rub her eyes. Last night I
said "Kendall do you want ice cream" and she said "num num num", like she
does when I'm getting her food. She has her teddy bear that she absolutely
loves and has since she got it several months back. If she starts getting
sassy I will say "Kendall where's your bear?" She'll look around and go find
it and cuddle with it. When we are leaving places I tell her "say bye bye"
and she will waive. She loves to laugh and boy can Coralynn get her
giggling. Cora loves being a big sister and is an amazing little helper.
She's always trying to figure out what sissy needs or what she's getting
into. Coralynn cleaned the house last night because she wanted it to be all
clean for sissy's birthday. It was so nice to wake up and have a clean house
this morning. Cora was so excited to be baptized recently and she is doing
her best to make good decisions. They are both growing and changing so much
I hope I'm able to get on the ball and it's not another year before my next

She can't wait to take her next bite. Yesterday we attempted a step 1 food, it was beef and broth. She made a face that showed the clear dislike for it. We thought we would try a couple bites to see if it was just a first reaction but on the 3rd bite when she gagged we decided she really didn't like it and we decided to leave it alone. Maybe sometime we'll try a fruit.Courtney & Eden Clementhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01437746061985498686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977522279492741377.post-70713818451253804412011-01-08T23:07:00.005-07:002011-01-08T23:48:01.870-07:00Happy Baby<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6px-mrSUF5KbIVSAYbG0yfpxuwInGH9YKbB2hVL21M3n8QwUzRd3FAhjGfPj-DR_0G0P8tflAFYznESyqc7WIz10BwBx05WK3gU8Mw4l0IS3H50xTZQ4DJkE5zjBDGq8oTK_XFVT8-GQ/s1600/1225102149-730427.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6px-mrSUF5KbIVSAYbG0yfpxuwInGH9YKbB2hVL21M3n8QwUzRd3FAhjGfPj-DR_0G0P8tflAFYznESyqc7WIz10BwBx05WK3gU8Mw4l0IS3H50xTZQ4DJkE5zjBDGq8oTK_XFVT8-GQ/s320/1225102149-730427.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560063793945870786" /></a></p><b>So far so good! Kendall is now going to the same daycare that Cora has been at since she was 8 months old. She seems to be doing a LITTLE better about having to have Mom around all the time. She still has her moments when Grammy and Daddy get done and hand her over to Mom to take a chill pill. Sissy is still loving her TONS we usually have to tell her to back off. For the most part Kendall is still a smiley happy baby. She has determined though in most instances tummy time is not for her, she rolls onto her back and continues being a content baby. Tonight while Kendall was just chillin out on a blanket Cora, Daddy, and I played wig out and Sorry, we had so much fun. I love my family so dearly and am glad to get to spend quality time with them. We even found some time to clean up the house and put away the Christmas decorations. What a nice peaceful productive day, and now we have to</b><b>morrow to relax.

Our beautiful Kendall Tamra Clement was born Sept 21,2010 weighing 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is growing so fast and has been an amazing blessing to our family. Kendall is now smiling, laughing, and cooing. Coralynn just loves being a big sister and many times can't get enough of her, just like Mommy and Daddy. Currently we are still on maternity/paternity leave and enjoying it. We will both return to work on Dec 14. We are looking forward to the holidays and all the joy it brings into our lives. I think the best part of the holidays is spending quality time with loved ones. Now that I'm getting a little more with the times I'm sure I'll have much more to say in the near future.</strong>Courtney & Eden Clementhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01437746061985498686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977522279492741377.post-23808446042163209992010-01-20T11:47:00.004-07:002010-01-20T12:10:13.603-07:001/19/10<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEido4Mwogu5M6Mv4-OUFuv8MbXiiP7Di4JaLr1paIfkV5RnM1GY9CI2QlHMu5wI6Fr_9QKGY-OVlWtzs1rB665gI7UaHtsLzf1BLNq_vCp5wuKIrj68ZHUg_k7eaf3dPFP6MzfddS-FzXE/s1600-h/baby+bingo+cake.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
