My little Kendall is now three months old!  He is 12 lbs and 4 ounces now, (or he was at his last appointment), near the end of January!   He is truly a joy to have.  He is getting much better at sleeping in his bassinet now.  I think I will keep him sleeping in there until he pretty much outgrows the bassinet.  I like having him close by at night so I can check on him without waking him.  He is just like me in the sense that he likes to go to bed late and sleep late.  He will sleep in on the weekends which is really nice.  We had his pictures taken about a week ago, as soon as I learn how to upload them, I will put some on here.  He made us work for a smile though!  He started smiling on December 22nd, just in time for Grandma and Grandpa Norris to come for Christmas.  He had a wonderful Christmas with his Grandparents and his Aunt Mary.  This past weekend Grandma Norris and Aunt Mary came to see him again.  They had to drive through a terrible storm to get here, but they made it safely. 

In two weeks Kendall will be baptised.  Did I spell that right?  He will finally meet his Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah for the first time.  They will be his Godparents.  Last night, we went to church and Kendall started to cry after communion, (apparently he was disappointed that he too didn’t receive a wafer?), so I took him out to the lobby.  I know no one wants to listen to a crying baby when you are trying to hear the sermon.  At the end of Mass, Dad came out and brought his bag so we sat on the couch in the lobby and fed Kendall as another little one was baptised.  That was wonderful to see!  It also gave me a sense for how long the baptism would take.  I know that is probably an awful thing to think of, but when you are dealing with a little one, it is a nice thing to know because keeping them happy can be a challenge!  We were fortunate that a couple of church members came right to our house to do the baptism class!  (A Pre-Jordan class is required if you are Catholic)  They were so wonderful, they explained everything for us and Glynnis wanted to hold Kendall, and she must have the magic touch because he sat with her for almost a whole hour; happy as a clam!  (She has four grandsons, that must have something to do with it!)  Her husband Steve also did all of my classes when I was an RCIA candidate 5 years ago, so we were very familiar with him.  I can’t believe I’ve been married almost 5 years now!

I promise to get some pictures of the little guy on here soon!  We will have to get some baptism pictures on here as well in a couple weeks!

Take care and keep warm!
