Celebrating Amanda's Birthday & Kendrick's First Steps!

Amanda came down and spent part of the 24th of July weekend with us. We took her out for lunch for her birthday--since we were a bit behind! She chose to go to Chili's. They brought out a chocolate shake to her since we were celebrating her birthday.

Amanda and her birthday shake!

Kendrick thought he was pretty cool sitting up to the table.

Kendrick had been getting really brave when moving between furniture pieces. I also would see him standing alone for a few seconds by himself, but when he figured out that he wasn't holding on to something, he would plop down.

He also had a hard time when we were in Levan for the 24th and he couldn't keep up with all of his cousins. They were running around having a good time and Kendrick was trying to keep up by crawling, which isn't too much fun on cement!

Emilee got Kendrick a toy that he could push while standing and he liked it. But, he would get so mad when he ran into something, he couldn't figure out how to turn, so he would just run into things!

Well, this is just my theory, but I think seeing all of his cousins walking/running around inspired him to walk. Because that is just what he did a few days after.

Amanda helped Kendrick with his first steps too. Here she is helping Kendrick, along with an old stuffed polar bear, that is one of Kendrick's best friends!

Here are some videos of Kendrick's first steps:
