This Girl

Kendall very proud of herself for putting on Ryan's hat all by herself.

 
In the last couple weeks Kendall has transformed from her sweet, laid back self to a full-fledged mischievous little toddler.  This girl is ruthless.  She goes non-stop all day.  She has mastered climbing up on dining room chairs (which are bar height) and spends all day climbing.  When she's not at the table (or on the table) begging for markers, she's finding something else to get into.  Whether it's filling the cat's water with cat food or pulling all the books from the book shelf, it's something that creates a HUGE mess.  Last night she decided she'd made a big enough mess and started cleaning it up herself!

David and I are at our wits end.  We felt the house was child proofed, but she has definitely proved us wrong.  She is so quick, and finds an opening within second.  Tonight I turned my back to fill the bath tub and when I turned around she was standing on the edge of the tub ready to jump in. 

When she's not being mischievous she is being silly.  She loves to dance, and to laugh.  At the grocery store she waves and says "hi" to everyone who passes by.  She's become so independent and strong willed.  And beware if you tell her "no", drama is sure to follow.  She knows what she wants and is not happy when she does not get it.  We love her to pieces, but do hope she cuts us some slack pretty soon.  We're exhausted!
