Introducing my new baby...

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!   It's nice to see you all again as its been awhile.  Did you sleep off your turkey and pumpkin pie comas?  

Ask to see my funny face...

I turned 16 AND 17 months old since I last wrote to you!  Are you all taking naps after crazy Black Friday shopping?  We did a very quick stop last night to Best Buy... Well, actually, Daddy did.  Mommy wanted no part of that madness so she stayed in the car with us.  Needless to say, our new TV is being installed as we speak.

The night before we met Kendall!

Do I have news for you (even though I know you all know already)!  I got a baby SISTER!  And she's already 1 month old (yesterday)!  Please join me in welcoming Kendall Kay Dixon!  She's a real treat.  I have to admit... I really like my baby sister.  It took me a few days but I have adjusted to her quite nicely.  I help give her paci, I "shh" her when she cries, I give her lots of hugs and kisses... Don't get me wrong, though - she gets head butts and smacks too. But, those just result in mommy and daddy yelling and me getting in trouble.  Maybe one day I'll learn better.

Halloween 2013!  Ladybug and Nemo!

Our 2013 pumpkins!!!

What?  You don't carve pumpkins half naked?

My mommy and Kendall came home from the hospital on Halloween.  Despite the crappy weather I did go trick-or-treating to a few neighbors.  I was Nemo!  I loved my costume and requested to wear it quite often.  Which reminds me.  Where is that costume? My mommy must have hidden it...

I do have a prayer request from you all.  I'll be having my ear tube surgery in 2 weeks.  I was supposed to have it earlier this week but it got postponed for a few reasons.  And wouldn't you know I have a double ear infection as we speak.  I hope those things bring me some relief!

Hours old.

Hello world!

Siblings meeting for the first time :)

Hello!  I'm Kendall!  So this is the blog Blake's been telling me about...  And yes - I managed my first belly pic shoot.  One month old already!  I do what most babies do... eat, sleep, sleep some more, eat again, and poop!  While my daddy is already having anxiety attacks about me going to prom (thanks to my mommy's work history), my mommy is having a ball dressing me and seeing all the pink and bows and polka dots.   If there's one thing I've learned in my short time here on Earth so far, it's the fact that I was born into a wonderful circle of family and friends!  The generosity and outpouring of love has been awesome!  Thank you for the nice warm welcome!

Cozy with my mommy and daddy.

After my first bath

Not loving my first bath.

That's about all that's warm.  Brrr it's cold outside!  Is it always like this?  Some white stuff has been flying around too???  I guess we are in for the long haul.  A few months of this, you tell me?  I will just learn to appreciate the few short months of beautiful weather we get... or convince my parents to move to Hawaii.  This cold stuff is for the BIRDS!!

My first Thanksgiving

Showing off my baby blues

I was the talk of the nurses with this hat!

Blake introduced me to Sunny!

Blake and I were just told to wrap it up.  We've got Christmas decorating to do!  Time to pack up the pumpkins and scarecrows and turn our new home into a Christmas wonderland!  We're going to light a fire, turn on the Christmas music and brew some hot chocolate.  Enjoy this warm and fuzzy season to come.  It was nice to write you all for the first time.

Love, Blake and Kendall   XOXO
