4 months old already??!!

Kennedy turned 4 months old on New Year's Eve :)  We took these pictures of her that day...yes, the bib is bigger than her, but still so cute!  Kennedy is full of expressions, smiles, and has lots to talk about lately.  She is learning that she can do so much with her hands now...but I would say most of the time, they are in her mouth!  I keep thinking she may be teething but no sign of a pearly white yet :) She loves to go to story time at the library and watch the all the kids move around and sing.  I am amazed at how aware she is of her surroundings, not much gets by this little girl.  I could go on and on because I sware she is learning something new every day but let's get to the pictures!  Oh one more thing...her hair is definitely getting longer, lighter, and curling :)  I love it! 

Who's 4 months old??  ME??!!

Yep, me...Happy Birthday to ME!

My Pretty, Pretty girl!

I love her feet in this one...and that she is eating her bib!

Showing off her baby blues and her kissable lips!

She likes to cross her legs now like a lady :)

And here are a few randoms from the past couple weeks...........

She does this face all the time now!

Her hair cracks me up!

Talking to her Daddy! <3

All dressed in mismatched fleece for our cool morning run!

Her new tongue talent, haha!

Almost the whole fist...must be yummy :)

Welcome 2012!!

So Rusty and I were definitely the parents at a New Year's Eve party with their baby upstairs sleeping!  I never thought that day would come...but it's like my brother Geoff says, "Kids will make a liar out of you!"  Kennedy is such a great sleeper these days so she slept right through the traveling, party, music, and fireworks...oh and constant barking dogs!  We were so proud of her :)  Rusty and I were able to ring in the New Year with some friends and ended up having a good time (And Matty, I definitely played some flip cup!)!  Which leaves me to the reason why I am blogging this...in all the packing involved with a baby, we forgot one half of the baby monitor at our friend's house...Mommy was not going to ler her angel sleep in her crib without it...so, Kennedy slept with Mommy and Daddy for the rest of the night!  We of course had to take a picture for the memory...ringing in the New Year in the comfort of her parent's bed :)  It was a great night!  And even better when Daddy got up with Kennedy the next morning!  I love my husband <3

She woke up for the photo opp, haha!  We love giving her kisses!

She's thinking, Seriously Mom??!!  This is her new sleep sack (a wearable blanket) she sleeps in...and yes, I put socks on her hands because she rubs her face all the time!  Rusty calls them her Jackie O gloves!

The future is looking bright for Miss Kennedy!

Looking forward to what the New Year has in store for the Graf Family :)

Full of Expression!

I decided to do a little post with a few pictures we have caught of Kennedy's MANY expressions.  She brings a smile to our faces so many times during the day...leaving us wondering what she is really thinking??!!  Since she is so busy taking in the world around her, she is very attentive to her surroundings these days..."Everyone is a suspect" as Rusty says :)  I hope these bring a smile to your face too!

You want me to do WHAT, Daddy?!?

Hmmmm??  (notice the hands crossing and the tongue action...Rusty moves his tongue too when he thinks)

Happy Baby :)

Say WHAT??  Oh no you didn't!  haha

I love you Mommy!

Who me??!!

Huh??  I'm confused, can you repeat that??!!

We all know what this face is saying!  She may just scratch you if you don't stop taking pictures! 

Stranger Danger!! 

MeRrY ChRisTMaS!!

Even though Kennedy had no idea that the day was any different than any other, it was still a wonderful Christmas...and extra MERRY having her with us this year.  We started the weekend with Santa and last minute shopping.  Christmas Eve was spent with Uncle Bucci and family for a yummy brunch.  Kennedy actually sat and watched football with everyone while mommy got to eat and have a mimosa :)  Christmas day, after we opened a few presents, Rusty worked ALL day in the kitchen cooking a delish meal (with a little help from me!)for our family that lives close by.  It was nice to have everyone over. I think we got off easy this year as far as gifts...she just doesn't get it yet...and that is a YET Daddy :) 

I am pretty sure Santa came to visit this baby girl :)

I mean, look at that sweet face!

Playing with mommy...Super Girl!!!!

Oh my goodness look at all the presents!!

Loving her new CD player from Maw Maw

Kennedy loved the wrapping paper...hand to mouth...so it begins! 

Our turkey, haha

The secret to the MOST juciest turkey you will ever have...cajun injection!!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas too!  Now bring on the NeW YeaR!!

 

Very First Visit to Santa!

I had in my mind that Kennedy would probably cry when we put her in Santa's arms...but this was not the case at all...she slept right through it...even with Santa's real, bushy beard rubbing her face!  I am just glad we caught it on camera since she was all dressed up in her Christmas best from her Maw Maw.

Before and After Santa...

I love that he is holding her hand, so sweet :)

And of course a family picture for the memory book!

All Smiles these days....and catching some zzzzz's too!

Kennedy is 16 weeks this week and has been a busy little girl lately as you see on the blog!  I can't believe how much she changes every time I get her out of the crib :)  She is learning all about the world around her, using those five senses...and now her voice to tell us all about it!  So cute.  The time gets away from me during the day because I just sit and talk to her and watch her smile at me.  She now makes noises with her tongue, moving it all around.  She tries to mimic me I think.  She loves to play with her feet, watch colorful shows, run with mommy, smile at her daddy, and stand up tall and look at EVERYTHING.  She is very observant to detail, gets that from her mommy for sure!  Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks.  We hope to visit Santa this week so I will post that next if I get a good one :)

I think she has a dimple :)

Love my babies!

Running sure wears me out!

I think her swaddling days are coming to an end, she breaks out now constantly, tear :(  She loves sleeping in her swing!

And sleeping in her Bjorn...she lives the life for sure!

Oh and she likes to nap on mommy and daddy's bed too :)  Look at those cheeks!

She loves to TRY and hold her bottle now.  I love watching her learn what she can do with her hands.

She is telling Santa what she wants for Christmas, love this picture!  My sweet angel face!

 

Our First Anniversary 12-17-10

Wow, what just one year can bring.  This year has been the BEST year of my life.  I married my best friend and we have been blessed with a healthy, beautiful baby girl.  She brings us so much joy.  Rusty and I celebrated our first anniversary in New York City the weekend before...and then the day of we went to our favorite restaurant, Hillstone in Winter Park (used to be Houstons).  It was so yummy and a perfect night!  Kennedy loved mommy's flowers.  I think she is really loving her five senses these days :) 

It all started with "I DO" and a kiss :)

And then..........

And then.........

Think PINK....Kennedy Anne Graf 8-31-11
