HWAT?? Ok, I cannot believe it's time to say this: Kendall is quickly approaching her first birthday. 18 days, bloggers! This is all going way.too.fast! I have been preparing myself for this for several weeks now. I have tried unsuccessfully thus far to put on the brakes to this breakneck speed at which my little baby is growing. I don't want to stop it, just slow it down a little. You know, to allow myself enough time to adjust to each new stage she enters and build enough memories to be content to move on. Gabe thinks the first year went by so fast because the first two months we were just trying to survive! I am afraid that we'll have an excuse for the next eighteen years why every year just flies. But I digress. Enough mommy woes! On to the fun stuff!
Aunt JuJu visited for a few days and we took Kendall's birthday portrait in her birthday outfit. (Taking her picture is a two person job so I had to do it when I had an assistant.) We took a total of 88 pictures, but no fear, I have posted only some of my favorites.

Playing footsie. Just adorable.
It's been stated that Kendall has many, many faces. I don't know WHERE (insert sarcasm) she gets it from. No one in our family exaggerates (ahem). This face is my favorite. She makes it whenever she points, or sees Daddy come home from work.
Totally her trademark smile here. A classic.
Hysterical laughing, which these days is brought on my many random things.
Can't see well here, but it's her intent, study face. A true sign of intelligence I do believe. (And I say in such a subjective, non-biased way! HA!)
"Hmmm...How can I get this minuscule little flower bit from my fingers into my mouth? Just have to wait for Mommy to turn for a nano-second, just like I do with the dog food bowl. It's not MY fault Sophie is turning skin and bones because she can't reach her bowls on the counter." Such the opportunist.
Infatuated with Elmo.
Seriously. Better stand back. She's serious.
