Kendall is 24 months

Kendall Morgan,

On October 27th, you turned 24 months old and mommy still cant believe it.  Your second year just flew by, even faster than the first.

You are so smart, such a funny little girl and you totally adore your sisters.  You ask for Kaylee multiple times a day after we drop her off at school and I think it's the cutest thing.  You and Keira play dolls and watching you guys interact together is the best, your bond grows every day for each other and I hope that that never changes.  I hope that you and your sisters always have a close relationship and that nothing stands in the way of that.  You amaze me everyday with all the new things that your learning.

SLEEPING:  You are a great sleeper, you've been in your big girl bed since Aug of this year and you transitioned amazingly.  I was totally worried that you would get out of bed multiple times and it was become a choir having to put you back to bed multiple times but much to mommy's surprise you did amazing.  When I say it's nap or bedtime you gather your binks, lovey and baby and head to your bed.  I give you a kiss goodnight and you go right to sleep within 5-10 minutes.  You take one 2 hour nap and go to bed at 8pm.  Day lights savings time has really messed you up on when it's time to get up.  Before DST you would walk up 7-7:30 and now you are up at 6am and man that's too early for mommy.

EATING:  Girl you can pack away the food, I'm not sure where you put it all but you can eat.  We laugh because you can sometimes eat more than mommy, depending on what were having.  You aren't really picky and you'll at least try something once.  Your favorite foods are...HOT DOGS, APPLESAUCE packs, STRING CHEESE, CARROTS, BANANAS, PIZZA & CHEESE ITS.  You love to drink water with a little squirt of mio in it, thanks to daddy and you also like apple juice.

 PERSONALITY:  You are really starting to show your little (big) personality. You have a larger than life smile and just light up any room that you enter, you have a temper when you don't get your way or when someone has something you want, you don't like to share, you talk up a storm and are saying more words and sentences each day & I love that when your in the right mood you'll still snuggle with me.
