Got home from Kenley's doctor appointment around 2 today. No ear infections just a wicked cold. My chubby peanut weighed in at 20lbs 6oz and she is now 28 inches. She weighs almost as much as Gibbs.
Andrew is working the night shift for the next 4 days, 11pm - 7am, and he was upstairs sleeping when I got home. He had gotten the mail and left it on the kitchen table. I was hoping for some diaper coupons or baby clothes catalog to look through. (I know, I am so lame.)
No coupons. No Hanna Andersson catalogs. And then I saw it....
The envelope with a return address marked
The White House
Washington DC 20500
I had sent in the request to have a birth acknowledgement from the White House for Kenley so long ago, I had completely forgotten about it. What a lovely surprise.
Kenley got a baby food popsicle for a little snack while I prepared a fantastic apple crisp for Andrew and myself.
She looks a little under the weather in these pictures... Her eyes have been reddish with dark circles the past few days. It's too early for her to be developing the dark circles her mom and Grammy have, right? Good lord I don't have time to put make up on the baby too.
She has just figured out how to pull herself up using my hands. She is still learning that she can grab onto other things to pull herself up. So far, hands are her favorite. Andrew and I lowered her crib tonight (well, really it was Andrew)... it felt like a right of passage. Ha.

Wow, I didn't even know that was something they did (The White House). How incredibly cool!
And giggles to the make-up on the baby... Zach would look like that when he hadn't slept well, was teething, had allergies, it was a Tuesday, you name it. It's no reason to reach for the make-up, it's reason to reach for the cute little hats! Ta-da! Magic!
