Kendall is 20 months old

 

Kendall Morgan,

Yet another month has passed and you are that much closer to being TWO years old.  This month just like every other month has gone by in the blink of an eye.  I still don't want to think about you being so close to turning 2 cause you know what that means...your not my little baby anymore and your turning into such a big girl.  Mommy is not ready for you to be such a big girl yet, if I had it my way you would be my little baby forever.  But we both know that that cant happen, so I'll enjoy your littleness while I can. You are growing and changing so much everyday.  You are saying so many new words, your exploring and discovery new adventures around every turn.

SLEEPING: Since we returned home from our CA trip you have been sleeping in till 8-8:30 and since your sleeping in so late you have cut out your morning nap that you usually take at 9-9:30.  You are a great sleeper and have no problems putting yourself to sleep at nap and bed time.  You only get your pacifier at nap and bedtime unless you find one that mommy didn't know about.  We will try to have you off the pacifier by the time your 2...hopefully!


EATING: You are an awesome eater and when anyone is eating, no matter what you are doing you will track them down and say "me, eat"  You love your food.  Some of your favorites are...bananas, watermelon, blueberries, pineapple, chicken nuggets, asparagus, eggs and cookies (only when you got potty on the big girl potty)

POTTY TRAINING:  At 20 months your older sister was almost all the way potty trained.  You are almost ready to start potty training but we are going to hold off until after your two.  We just have to many trips coming up in the coming months to even attempt to potty train.  We will continue to put you on the potty when you say you want to go.  You've went potty in the big girl potty 4 times and you get so excited each time, you like when we pour in the big potty and you can say "bye bye" to it.


PERSONALITY: You have the biggest personality and you have the power to make everyone around you smile and be happy right along with you.  You can hold your own most of the time with your sisters and you will be the first to let them know when you don't like them doing something that you don't like.  You have always been and still continue to be the happiest kid.  Your so much fun to be around and I think you may take after your older sister Keira and be a social butterfly too.  You love to tell people hi all the time.
