Baby Book

I was cleaning out the garage last weekend and I came across one of those 'Baby's First Year' books and I got really excited for a moment - and then I realized I never filled out a single page of the book. And the guilt fell over me....just like it fell over me this afternoon when I realized that my last blog post was in AUGUST!! Kendall is getting more and more curious about her birth (specifically, how she got in my belly), what her first word was, if she cried a lot and what foods she liked as a baby. I know the answers to most these questions because, as Kendall would say, "duh, I was there", but I still feel bad that I don't have it written down in a book for her to read. And then came this blog....oh this blog that was supposed to be the miracle cure for the lack of photos that leave my camera and enter frames, for the lack of 'firsts' listed in the baby book and for the lack of photo albums and organized baby pictures! It is March 2nd, and the last post was in AUGUST....did I mention that already? So, what is my deal? Why don't I want to recapture my child's.....childhood?? I suppose I am just busy or tired or tired and busy, but I am recommitting myself to this blog. Two posts a month required....I know that's not alot, but I'm taking baby steps.....baby steps....Baby steps - oh, geez - the little stamp and paper kit where I was supposed to stamp her baby feet is empty too!

Kendall, here are some things things that occurred between September 2010 - February 2011:


September - You started playing softball and did great! Your team was almost undefeated!


October - You were a vampire princess for Halloween (sorry, I erased the pictures off my phone)

November - I'll have to get back to you on what happened in November.

December - Mommy got engaged! We rang in the New Year in Hilton Head! You started playing basketball.

January - You came in 4th place in the 1st grade spelling bee!
