Reading to Bennett

I hope you can hear her. I had to hide at first. then she saw me.

how do people do it?

We are still around, just finding time to blog is almost impossible. (oh and our Internet has been down for awhile.) We have been busy and still trying to get into the swing of things. Kenidee has been I think having a bit of a hard time with a new brother but I think she is getting more use to the idea that he is here to stay. She is so cute to Bennett. She will often bring books to him and read to him. If he starts crying you can bet that Kenidee is running to see what is wrong and how she can help him.
A few funny stories
Kenidee really wanted a bottle, I told her she was a big girl and if she needed a drink I would get her a sippy, and bottles were for babies. She got so mad and said to me " I am a baby look I got cute cheeks!"

After church one day I was at home with Bennett and I could Kenidee singing all the way in the house. "sing sing sing I like to sing. Sing sing sing I like to sing." when she gets in the door she leans on the closed door and says " Mon I had a great time and nursery."

My dad told Kenidee one day that she was such a Sweetheart, she got so mad and yelled to him No papa my name is KENIDEE LUANA MARKHAM!

Aunt Bri was teasing her that she was going to take her baby (Bennett) home with her. Well Kenidee got upset and told her that Bennett was her baby. We put Kenidee to bed before they left and I didn't really think about it again. Well the next morning Kenidee went to Bennett's bed and he wasn't there, She was so upset and crying "Aunt bri took my Bennett!" I had to show her that Bennett was on my bed before she would believe me that Bri left Bennett with us.

We ran out of gas the other night, Robin pushed us to the gas station. I was chanting push daddy push. Kenidee started joining in then... All of a sudden she told me she was scared and she just wanted her daddy.

Rachelle and I went to Jonny Cariono's yesterday and the lighting at our table was dim... and the music playing was Italian music but it was a slow. Kenidee said to me mom I think this place is creepy!

As some of you may remember last year I tried my hand at bread making... it didn't turn out at all! So I made Banana Bread.... It was BEAUTIFUL! I had to take pictures.






sisterly love! she cant leave him alone.

Bennett is getting so big! He is 10 lbs and "talking and smiling showing off his dimple


Rachelle Gave Kenidee a hat and gloves for Christmas and she wouldn't take them off the other day. First just had her hat and gloves on with her diaper. Then I got her dressed and she had me put her gloves on her feet so she could be a monkey. She sat on the couch and started watching a cartoon, she was in her own world she didn't even know I was there. Not one "CHEESE" picture. I decided that I would see how close I could get taking pictures.

She was not smiling at me she was smiling at whatever she was watching on tv.






Our house is all painted! Thank you Justen and Rodney. I will have to go and take pictures. The program that we are in wont let us paint color until we move in so it is all white but it looks so much like a house now. We think we will be in out house in march. I so hope so!

Time sure flys

Being the good mom that I am I decided that I needed to cut Kenidee's hair. Rachelle and I had done it before when it got to mullet looking, so I thought hey what the heck, I had just gotten kenidee out of the tub and her hair was wet so I thought what a better time. I did what we had done before is twist the hair and just give it a little trim... well I think her hair has gotten thicker because it didn't quite go like that. I don't know exactly what I did but right in the middle of her neck her hair was so short, but it was still long on the sides. So I did what any mom would do. Vow NEVER to cut her hair again and go and get it fixed.
I was sad because her hair was getting so long and she could have two cute piggie tails. Her big ole'bows were looking so cute in her hair and I had bought 2 more sets. I knew that after I got her hair fixed I would have to say goodbye to big bows for awhile. Cute as a bug bows was very understanding and let me switch my 2 new big bows for smaller ones.


I took Kenidee to the same lady that cuts my hair, she was so good with Kenidee. Kenidee was so excited that she got a sucker after she was finished.
Pictures are so out of order but you still can see what a good girl she was and how cute her hair is. I will need to take pictures of it when it is all done with a bow in it. She looks so big with her hair in a little a line bob thing. I love it and her hair looks so much better.

Bennett is one month old! I had to pinch myself. I couldn't believe it. He is so fun and growing so much at his last appt. he was
9 lbs 2 oz 20 1/4 inches long but I don't think they streached him out good.
He has found his tounge and is starting to talk, and is getting really good at holding his head up.
he hates sleeping in is bed and would rather sleep snuggled up to someones chest. (this we must break)
he is such a cuddle bug. I love it. We love having him in our family.
Kenidee decided he needed her cat so she made him hold it. she is such a good big sister and a big helper. she always wants to hug and kiss him and she tells me mom hes so cute
