Kennedy's first craft!

And the first of many more to come...she does have a teacher for a mommy :)  We went to Kennedy's friend Ryan's house to do our crafts.  She loved having her hands and feet painted, even if it was hard to control them!  Thanks Aunt Julie!  The butterflys are for her room and the ornaments are some keepsakes for a few special people.  Ryan made a cute Nemo with his hands.  I wanted to blog this experience so she can read this in the years to come and laugh at what her mom made her do! 



Getting ready to paint!  She is excited!

 The beginning of Ryan's Nemo painting...his hands were much easier to work with, haha!

The finished products...well not completely

Going in for kisses, both haha!

We went to the park too...Kennedy was sporting her legwarmers :)

Maybe next year Kennedy can slide with Ryan!

Passed out from our day full of fun with Aunt Julie and Ryan :)  This is our running stroller she is in...she looks so small!  I ran with her for the first time the other day, hardwork!!

SO much to be ThAnKfUl for this year!

This year it was our first Thanksgiving as a family.  I love that word :)  Kennedy was such a cute butterball as you will see in the pictures and even though she couldn't have turkey this year, she seemed happy!  Well, until we got to Uncle Todd and Aunt Holly's for dinner, then it was a different story.  A new memory for me on Thanksgiving...a crying baby with a belly ache = no yummy feast for Mommy and Daddy with the family, lots of tears from Mommy as we drove back to Orlando, and Cracker Barrel turkey dinner at home while baby is in a crying coma, haha.  Not too funny when it was all happening, but it is now.  The sacrafices you make when you have kids :)  Gramps did bring us some leftovers the next day though!  So Kennedy is just fine and the good news is...she won't remember this Thanksgiving anyways...but we will!!!!!

I am 12 weeks old and I love to smile :)

My hair is getting so long and Mommy loves to put cute bows in it!

Looking at my Daddy <3

Told you I was a butterball!

Turkey Booty!!!!

She loves her tongue! 

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Here are a few more pictures from the past week.................

I have Daddy's hair!

Just can't wake up for my bath!

Almost strong enough for the Bumbo seat...I love her sweet face in this one.

Stealing kisses from my angel!

Showing off her super cute legwarmers...and her strong legs! 

She loves to look in the mirrors around the house!

She makes this face all the time!

Busy changing, Busy growing!

Kennedy is 11 weeks today...Some days I look at her thinking I can't believe 11 weeks ago she came into this world...and then other days I find myself waiting and waiting for that next milestone or change.  Whatever day it is, I love her even more and treasure the time I am spending with her.  She is getting quite the little personality now: smiling, kicking, talking, and finding more and more things she can do with her hands.  She loves to watch Baby Einstein (and anything Mommy is watching)!  I wonder if she will be a classical music fan?  Haha!  Everywhere we go people comment on her hair...I tell her that it is her signature :)  She never lost her hair, it only got longer!  I am super excited that I can put clips and bows in it.  I am in trouble with all the cute hair things out there for babies!!!!  Here are a few pictures from the past week or so.  The camera loves her, what can I say??!! ;)

Love when she crosses her hands.

Loving on her Daddy <3

Getting sooo big!

Check out my cute outfit...and my growing hair!

She will kill me for pictures like this one day, but Rusty caught a shot of her crazy eyes!  haha!

Watching TV, little couch potato!

Playing...the star on the top changes colors and plays classical music, she loves it!

Daddy plays with me too...it's a little crowded though :)

I have Daddy's hair too!

And I am pooped out from all this playing...and modeling!

I am trying to wake her up for her bath but it isn't really working.

She still loves her baths...all snuggled up waiting for Daddy to blow dry her hair, yes he does that!

Here are a few pictures from my cell phone that were too cute not to share :)  She is in her workout clothes in this one, getting ready to walk with Mommy!

And after our walk....we love when she stretches out!

Smiling...well burping :)

GIRL power, haha!

I love this one...my sweet angel face baby :)

And yes, she has a little clip in her hair!



Meet the FAMILY

Kennedy is so blessed to have such a BIG family on both sides.  She will never be short of aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins that love her very much...and of course her Nini, Gramps, Maw Maw, and Papa D to spoil her so!  She has almost met everyone in the fam as of this weekend.  Aunt Jessie even babysat her and they had so much fun :)  There are still a few more special people to meet but hopefully that will be soon.  Here are a few pics from her visit with her cousin Landon and Aunt Holly :)  Kennedy slept the whole time and Landon thought she was a toy or maybe a dog, haha! 

I think he is trying to share his cereal with Kennedy!

Petting his baby toy ;)

Sleepy girl

Not so sleepy boy....just happy! 

Kennedy takes on UCF!

Attending the UCF football games becomes watching them on TV when you have an infant in the household!  But last minute we decided to take Kennedy to the campus for the Thursday night game...well not to the actual GAME but it was still a fun family outing.  We took advantage of our season ticket holder VIP section in the basketball arena and snapped a few photos of Kennedy's first time at UCF.  We hope to enjoy many games with her as she gets bigger...but in the meantime, we had fun showing her cute self off :)  Oh and Rusty and I quickly realized tailgating would never be the same as we walked around all the fans sober and carrying a 9 week old baby, haha!

Kennedy sportin' her cute UCF headband and Daddy sportin' his baby girl :)

And Mommy sportin' her glass of wine (and the diaper bag) after a looonnnggg day!!

Aww I love this picture...she definitely didn't match, but she is still so cute!

On the UCF basketball court...I love them so much!



Happy 2 month Birthday Kennedy!!

A little late posting these but they were actually taken on her birthday, which was also Halloween.  I dressed her up in her party dress and once again, photo shoot, haha!  Kennedy will surely love the camera, if she doesn't already :)  I can't believe that 2 months ago we welcomed this beautiful princess into the world with so much joy.  Some 2 month milestones...smiling, cooing, focusing more, AND sleeping 7-8 hours in the night!  The sleep routine we have been doing is sure paying off.  Oh and did I mention she is 11 pounds and growing??!!  We love you Kennedy Anne!

Pretty little princess :)  love hand-me-downs!

Love her toes :)

Getting so big!

There's a smile!

You can't see the TV but this is her focused on Baby Einstein, she loves it clearly!

And one more thing that came with being 2 months old...shots :(  5 shots and one oral, ugh.  That was not fun, although she did better than mommy.  You can see her bruises in this picture.

Ok last one, just because it's cute and you can see how kissable she is!  She loves her baths too!
