wow...it's been sooooo long since my last post!! i will admit that i just have not been very motivated to keep up with it for the past few months. i'm very busy and very tired and every time i sit down to blog, i talk myself out of it. i will do my best to catch you up on the things that have been going on in my life over the past few months....
kenley is a blast. she is quite the vibrant 2 year old and she definatly keeps me on my toes. i love that she is old enough that i can have conversations with her. she loves to tell me how her day went while i was at work and i love seeing the excitement burst out of her when i pick her up....she melts my heart! she is also developing more of an imagination...she hosted many "tea parties" for me as well as other visitors over christmas break. yesterday she prepared a meal for the "super-readers," who are characters from one of her favorite shows called Super Why. They had all gathered in her tent and she was excited that even "princess pea" was there :) This year she decorated our christmas tree all by herself...except for the ornaments that i put around the top and lights of course. we also enjoyed watching her perform in her very first christmas program at church. she did a great job singing and of course we were very proud! before christmas, kenley and i got to go and make gingerbread house's at grandma and grandpa shannon's house...it was fun to carry on this tradition from my childhood with kenley. she also got some great things for christmas....a set of real barbie golf clubs (which will be put to great use this spring!), play doh, a trampoline, books, an awesome toy box made by uncle travis, and much more. it was fun to watch her open her gifts, but it was even more exciting to be able to share with her the real meaning of christmas :)
Jarrett continues to be quite the happy little guy. it's very rare to find him without a big smile on his face! he is now 8 1/2 months...it's hard to believe that in just a few short months we will be planning his first birthday! he is into everything....crawling, pulling himself up on things, and even walking with the help of steady hands. It is such a fun stage, even thought it adds to the craziness around the house! Jarrett absolutely adores Kenley...his face lights up the instant he sees her. it's so fun to see them interact as we are getting to the stage where they are playing together now! Jarrett also really likes to play the drums...he pulls himself right up on the guitar hero drums, grabs a drumstick and bangs away! We enjoyed our first christmas with him and he is enjoying all of his new toys and looks like a little man in his new clothes. jarrett is still not sleeping through the night, but we are making progress! i am just embracing the fact that he is only little once and down the road i know i'll miss these days :) Jarrett recently had his first tooth pop through and the second one will be there any day now! he's starting to lose interest in baby food and is enjoying some table foods. there's just not a whole lot i can give him since he only has one tooth!
well, i have written quite a bit....i guess that is what happens when i don't blog on a regular basis! i have more to fill you in on and i hope to blog that soon! I also have tons of pics to share :)
