A Fun Day!

Kendee had her 4 month doctors appointment yesterday. 

Weight : 14 lbs. 8 oz.  (70th percentile)

Length: 24.25 inches (52nd percentile)

She is growing so much, and is such a cute and happy baby.  She loves to watch Daxton play and he is always wanting her to be a part of the fun.  He is constantly yelling "watch me, kennee."  She loves to look around is starting to really like playing with toys.  We are so glad she is a part of our family!

Today was a fun day!  The weather was really nice so we spent a lot of the day outside. Daxton helped me water our flowers.  We got these hanging pots in Amish country and I love them! Daxton loves to help me water them and wanted to bring the watering can everywhere with us.  In the picture, he is holding some strawberries we picked from our plants in the front yard.  Whenever we go outside he tells me "wait 'til strawberries red mom."  Today we found some red ones and ate them.  They were so sour!

Since the weather was so nice and Kendee was still sleeping Daxton and I decided to have a picnic on the porch.  His favorite part of the lunch were the pickles.  He wants pickles all the time.  When it was time to clean up lunch, he went in the house and said, "come here food."  I sure wish clean up worked that way.  He really was a good helper and brought in his dishes and said, "mom, I sit these right here."  He is so much fun.
After the kids woke up from their naps, we decided to walk up the street to the mail box and mail a letter for Doug.  Daxton was so excited to mail the letter, he called it his " 'pecial letter."  He is also really big into baseball right now, so he had to take Doug's mitt with him on the walk.  He kept it on for a long time and only took it off when a nice lady offered him a strawberry from her garden.  Daxton picked a strawberry and held it the entire walk.  He was so excited to wash it and eat it.   Kendee loved the walk as well.  She got to ride in the big stroller for the first time (not in the car seat).  I propped her up some and she was really good the entire time.  She just looked around and talked.  Her and Daxton had quite the conversation, so I asked Daxton what she was saying he told me, "Kennee just say GAWAHHH." 
When we got home Daxton and I sat on the steps and colored, while Kendee talked and smiled.  I showed Daxton how put a leaf under a paper and color over it to make a leaf print.  He thought it was neat for a while and then just wanted to draw "swakes" or snakes.  

After dinner I gave Daxton and Doug hair-cuts.  Daxton was a little upset that he had to take off his lizard shirt but when we promised him he could put it back on he was okay.  He must have thought the hair-cut was okay because before he went to bed he told me "mom, I lika hair."
