My Goofy Girl

At the hospital I had a nurse telling me about all the people she knew that were born breech. . . and how backward they all were! I was hoping she was wrong, but Kendi does have a few odd habits. She is rather cranky and doesn't like very many things. She likes her swing okay sometimes, but at 4 weeks figured out how to roll out of the swing.


She HATES having her diaper changed and makes sure everyone in Clark County knows when she is put through it. She screams so hard and loud that it usually makes her pee. Now, I know everyone says it is bad to have a boy because they pee on you, but at least they just pee in one direction. When Kendi pees, it goes everywhere!!!! Little stinker. Then, the funniest part is that as soon as I fasten the second diaper strap, she stops crying and just looks around like she has no cares in the world.

Ever since she was very tiny, Kendi has loved the sound of running water. Sometimes when she is out of control crying, I will take her in the bathroom and just turn the water on to calm her down. Needless to say, her favorite time of day is her bath.

Kendi has never really liked binkies. We have a whole collection of cute little binkies (NUKs are my favorite! They even have new ones with cute little flowers on them!).

We tried several different brands to see if we could get her to take one. And guess which one she finally decided on. . .
The goofiest looking one ever! What a silly girl. These are called Soothies and she loves them! Kamber was very good about falling asleep with the binky in and then spitting it out shortly thereafter and staying asleep. Not so with Kendi. She wakes up if the binky comes out and, yes, you guessed it, starts crying. What a goober!

She is sleeping a little better at night. We usually get one 4-6 hour block. Thank goodness!

It amazes me how unique each little tiny baby can be. They come out with their very own personality and this one is a fiesty little thing-- and always has been! Even inside of me. It's a good thing we love her so much!

I was always amazed at how different the boys were. She looks so cute with that big pacificer!

Carter was a fan of the soothie as well. They really do have their own personalities. It is a real good thing that we love them so much. I'm scared to have another one someday since Carter has over all been so good. Who knows whats in store for us...Oh and I'm glad you're getting more sleep. That makes a huge difference.

Hyrum preferred the Soothie too, but a couple months ago, I switched to a different one with a similar nipple. Not as cute as NUK, but it is shaped kinda like a butterfly, so might be cuter for a girl. Also, have you seen the pink Soothies?

She is so cute!
