Trying rice cereal for the first time

My how time flies... Colton is now 4 months old and doing great! He's a little pork chop with his little chubby cheeks that you can't help but kiss. He is such a happy baby and smiles all the time and is now starting to laugh. We love hearing his cute little belly laugh. He went to doctor last week and the doc said he looks great. She was very surprised how active and talkative he is. The Doctor said we could start rice cereal so we started introducing it this week. He isn't quiet sure of it yet but will soon love it I'm sure :-)

Here are his stats from the doctor:

Height: 26 inches 84%

Weight: 18 lbs 9 oz. 97%

Kendel learns to ride her bike

2011-02-14T20:03:00.000-08:00

We bought Kendel a bike about 6 months ago and she wanted nothing to do with it. Kendel saw that Parker is now riding his bike so she decide that is was time for her to try riding her bike again. We took her to a park out in Lake Stevens and she did great. She now can ride her bike all on her own and we can't get her off it.

2010-12-26T09:56:00.000-08:00

So we had our 20 week doctor's appointment on December 1st to find out the sex of the baby. We decided not know the results at that appointment and have the results put into an envelope and we would then open them on Christmas day. I tell you what, that was the hardest thing... to not look at the results ,but we held out. So I got the honors of looking at the ultra sound picture first. Looking at the ultra sound I saw what the result was but I wanted to see Joe's reaction when he read it, so I handed it to him saying, "I don't know what it is, it doesn't say" so Joe then took the ultra sound picture from me to read it. I think the whole neighborhood heard him yell, "IT'S A BOYYYYY"!!!! We are so excited and proud to announce we are having a boy :)

She walked right up to him and sat on his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas. This is the first time that she has ever sat on his lap with out crying. We were so proud of her.

Little did she know that Mommy grew up with chickens, but no we aren't getting any chickens at the Kuehl household. She also loved going on the rides. She said that the roller coaster and the swings were her favorite. I think we got a little dare devil on our hands ;-)

She kept asking me over and over before it was time "is my turn yet Mama?" She did so good and we are so proud of her. It was priceless. We wanted to thank everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedule for coming. It really meant a lot to us and Kendel.

So Kendel has been going to the bathroom off and on on the big girl potty for about 4 months now but I can't exactly say that she is potty trained. So I am dedicating my whole weekend to potty training. I have Friday off and we are staying home all weekend except going to ballet class and we are going to try to nock this thing out. We went to target and got a new Dora potty seat, a Dora potty chart and bribery CANDY! Hopefully we will be successful and we can say "Bye Bye" to diapers for once and for all.

Kendel loves her dog Lulu . She loves taking her for walks to the park or just around the house. They play together all of the time. Kendel wants to bring Lu every where we go such as to the stores, peoples house etc. Kendel will always say, "can Lulu come?" When we leave the house to go some where and last thing she says is, "be a good girl Lu, we will back soon." or as soon as we walk in the house and Kendel will say "we're home Lu." and will then go and try to find her. It is pretty cute to see how much she adores her dog.

The doctor said it didn't need stitches and gave us some antibiotic cream to put on it for a couple of days. It has been a week since it happened, it's still a little black and blue but she is doing much better.

Kendel on her new tricycle

We can't believe Kendel is 20 months old. It is crazy how fast it has gone by. She is so busy these days and is talking so much. She is saying 3 to 4 word sentences. Our favorite is when she says, "I love you Dada" or "I love you Mama" or when she tells our dog Lu "Out of the kitchen Lulu!". I wonder where she gets that one? Kendel is also learning her colors, she knows: yellow, red, green, blue, orange, pink and brown. She can also count to 10 in English and Spanish. I do have to thank Dora and Sesame Street for that one ;) She also is loving to color, read books and pushing her new dolly stroller around every where, but she doesn't like to put her dolls in the stroller though... Kendel is still a very picky eater and wont eat much unless it has ranch on it. Kendel says, "more ranch please". It's pretty cute, so I end up drenching everything in ranch. Kendel also loves being outdoors as much as possible and gets so excited when she gets to go outside. It's so cute how she gets so excited about the littlest things.

I can't believe Kendel is 18 months old! It goes by so fast. At her 18th month check up she weighed 27 pounds and her height is 32 inches (95% percentile). The doctor says she doing really good. She still is a really picky eater but what do you do... She is really starting to talk and make three word sentences. She is my little parrot and tries to say and repeat everything we say. It is really fun. Joey and I enjoy every minute.

I had a great Mother's Day this year. I got breakfast in bed. Kendel thought it was so fun eating in Mommy and Daddy's bed.
