Friday, we took Kenley to her 4 month check-up. The doctor's office moved upstairs in the building and for some reason Dr. Kane had new nurses. Clay wasn't fond of the new nurses necessarily. I guess we were used to the way the other nurse did it and liked her a bit more. We were surprised when Miss Kenley got to the scale. She topped it off at 15lbs and 0.5 oz (I like to count that little 1/2 ounce but the file will officially say 15lbs). WHOA CHUNKER! She was also 25.5 inches long although we think this is wrong since the lady didn't really get her leg straight so I'm gonna say 26 inches is prob more accurate. Both of these stats keep her in the 75th-80th percentile still. Of course we ended Friday's appt with SHOTS! OUCH! She did not like care for them. It wasn't that she was crying because they hurt. She was crying because she was PISSED. I love that she has a little temper. It makes Clay and I laugh. When we got home from the doctor I had expected her to eat. It was after 2pm and she hadn't eaten since 11am at the sitter. However, she had other plans. She just wanted to be. She didn't end up eating until bedtime around 630. It was nuts! She went to bed like a champ and slept like one too.
Saturday my mom was over to help watch Kenley so Clay could do some yardwork and I could do some spring cleaning. I wanted to get the blinds in the kitchen and livingroom clean and then get all the windows and windowsills washed. It is a boring task for cleaning and very time consuming but I got it all done and my mom and Kenley had a great day together. They enjoyed storytime, playtime, and took a walk. They chatted about their day and Kenley turned into quite the jabber jaws telling me all about it. (She also hasn't stopped chatting yet. She's gonna be a talker like me! Watch out Clay!) We caught one funny video of her talking.
It just makes me laugh to hear her chatter. It's like she is trying to tell us something and we just don't quite understand yet. She does it all the time now. She has also started trying to go "bbbbbbbb" with her lips. I don't know how to explain it but it's super cute. I'll try to get a video of that soon too.
During her walk with grandma they also stopped to pick mommy a "flower." Guess it will be one of many dandelions I will receive over time as she grows ;o)
Saturday night also brought a new FIRST. We had CEREAL for the first time. She did rather well. She will open her mouth and then close it around the spoon. I think she was able to keep a little in. She made some very funny faces and seemed to enjoy the experience.
Sunday we had a nice relaxing day. We woke up from our morning nap and decided to do some snuggle time with mommy. As a result, Kenley and I both slept another 1.5 hours that morning in the fresh air. It was some good snuggle time! The rest of Sunday was spent playing and shopping. We went to the mall and Kenley had a bad experience. She blew out the diaper, onesie, pants, and into the carseat. She did not care for the hard cold plastic of the changing station at the JC Penny's bathroom. She whailed endlessly. You would have thought I was torturing her. She did settle down long enough for one lady to say she was cute and she was much happier once we got changed and back in the car to go home.
All in all the weekend went too quickly (as it always does.) I'm looking forward to this next weekend already too as we go to D-town Friday for my mom's mother/daughter banquet at her church and will celebrate my first mother's day on Sunday. Kenley and Clay have been discussing what my gift will be but she is making her daddy go buy it since she doesn't have a licnese or an income right now.
Hope everyone is having a great week!!

Sounds like a very full, fun weekend. I am still hoping we can make a trip down and meet little Kenley sometime in the summer.
