More Fun in the Sun!

I am feeling behind on blogging...and all the pictures I have to post will prove it!  I am dying to blog about our wonderful trip to Louisiana but I don't have all the pictures yet.  For now, here are some of Kennedy enjoying the Spring weather.  She has the Graf "water"gene in her for sure and we can't wait for our pool to warm up enough to really take a swim.  We bought her a small blow up pool as you will see in the pictures...I am sure we will be using that a lot in the summer to cool off!  I also took Kennedy to a last minute, first trip to the beach in Ormond when we traveled there with Rusty for work.  She LOVED the sand but the water was still too cold for a swim.  This was my first experience with a baby at the beach alone...so much STUFF...and all I have to say is OH MY SAND!  :)  I am going to be so sad when she outgrows the Bumbo seat, where ever Kennedy goes, the Bumbo goes! 

 Of course she has her tongue out!  It was the perfect day for the beach!

DEFINITELY had her sunscreen on!  We are looking for a sun tent too.

Baby toes in the sand :)

Kennedy's pool at the pool!

Did I mention she LOVES her binkie now??  And there's the Bumbo again!

 You can see her red tint in the sun!  Just like Daddy!

 Playing with Mommy!

Peek-a-Boo is her new favotire game...guarenteed a smile with this one!

 There's Kennedy!

Our angel!

First time in the swings at the park...Mommy was more excited than me! 

*Sorry about the random picture quality in this post...we were using our small camera.  What a difference a nice camera makes!*

Corporate 5K, Downtown Orlando...2nd Annual for me and Kennedy :)

Last year I ran this race with Kennedy in my belly...this year she was on the sidelines with Daddy cheering me on!  I was happy to see some of my Blue Lake peeps too and thankful they let me run with their team this year.  It was the perfect night for a run in the city, along side 14,000 others :)

Love her sweet face...and crazy hair :)

Mrs. Murray and Aunt Julie representing...Julie had our cute dolphin shirts made!

Kennedy is like what is going on here??  haha

That girl and her tongue!  Cheering from the sidelines and pulling Daddy's hair!

Not a good picture at all but...I was so excited to see Kennedy...she was jumping up and down on Rusty's shoulders! 



Hanging with my DADDY!

I love when Rusty has free time at work to meet up with us for lunch.  He even took us on a picnic this week to Lake Lily park near his work.  The weather is perfect for that and Kennedy was loving the sights.  I can't wait to be able to put her in the swings, she is fascinated by them!  Rusty also wanted to be the first one in the pool with her so we headed for some fun in the sun!  When the pool is a little warmer, I am sure she will love swimming with her Daddy, but for now, she is enjoying the SpLasH!!  Here are some pics of us hanging out with our favorite guy :)  I love doing things as a FAMILY!

This was captured with my phone and is definitely a FRAMER!  <3!

She is so playful now!

She won't keep her sunglasses on!

Hi pretty girl!

Will she walk before she crawls??  And look at those thighs!!

Chewing on the silverware!

And about to eat the menu!  This was another lunch with Daddy at Wildside, yum!  Kennedy is sitting up so good now in the big girl high chair!

And eating crayons!

She loves water, just like Mommy!

Kennedy has bad manners, haha!  We were watching the cars go by.

St. Patrick's Day we took her to another park nearby...she loves her Daddy...and watching the kids play!

Getting ready to go to the pool!

Don't forget your shades!

Umm that is cold Daddy!

Kissable cheeks...she looks a little chilly!

Figuring out the SPLASH!

I love my angel!

She got to use her cute towel from the Pottingers!  I think I blogged a picture of Rusty with this on when I was pregnant, haha!

Her new favorite...Water Fountains! 



Seven months of SuNsHinE!!

I feel like this has been my favorite month so far, although I am sure I will say that again!  Kennedy is so much fun, learning something new everyday it seems and smiling up a storm.  She is ALMOST sitting up solo, getting up on her knees (uh-oh!), she has TWO bottom teeth now, her expressions are getting better with age (she makes cute shapes with her lips), and her hair is GROWING!  She is constantly jibber jabbering...Rusty swears she is saying Da-Da!  And being in public doesn't phase her, she just gets louder when we are in the stores!  She is VERY curious and needs to have everything in her hands or her mouth.  I tell her that she is going to be a baton twirler when she grows up because she is very talented with her wrists, twisting them and tossing things between hands.  Or maybe she will be in construction because she is constantly hammering her fisted hand on everything...I guess it's her way of feeling things??  Either way, it's so cute!  She also learned to rock back and forth...the beginning of dance??  Haha!  She now reaches for ME to pick her up or take her from someone's arms, it melts my heart!  She also give kisses...well, maybe she is just trying to chew on our noses BUT it's still adorable when she grabs our faces and leans in for a big smooch :)  Kennedy is just such a joy, our little princess!  We have been busy bees this month as you will see in the pictures I am trying to get posted tonight!  Enjoy!

Gramps got Kennedy her very first Easter basket...and yes, it's bigger than her but so cute!

This is one of her lip expressions she makes...OOoooHHHH!! 

Gramps got her a few furry friends to put in her basket too...and this about sums up our photo shoot!  LOL!

Sitting up like a BIG girl! 

This is where we wait for Daddy to get home from work.

My Easter outfit from Nini, well one of them! 

I just wanted to document some of the random things she plays with when I am busy in the kitchen!  Of course she loves the phone!  Haha! 

Givng her "Kisses" to my friend Amy's daughter Lillian, so sweet!

Did you really just put pigtails in my hair mommy??  Yep!

I think she likes them!!

Lots of smiles this month!  This was at Kennedy's first birthday she was invited to for her friend Karoline.

Where did she get her blue eyes from??!!  Love it!

Somebunny loves you....even if you don't want to smile for pics with mommy! 

Not posed and my favorite captured moment...Rusty worked late and came home to this. 

I love her so much, my angel!

One more...she loves books...and she looks SO big here!
