Bed, Bath, & Beyond!

Ok so I stole the catchy title but it's still cute for the pictures I need to post.  Kennedy loves to be on our bed, but she really only likes to actually sleep in her crib (a good thing I guess).  In the mornings Rusty brings her in to see me and she lights up with this big Good Morning smile.  She also likes to just roll and play in the pillows and sheets.  And every once in a while I can get her to snuggle up with mommy for a rest :)  Kennedy also loves her bath time.  She is such a water baby and seems to have no fear.  Water in her face doesn't bother her but getting her hair washed isn't her fave.  God knows we have to keep that head full of hair of hers cleaned every day!  So here are some fun pictures of Kennedy enjoying the bed and bath :)

 This one was a framer!  Her smile is so contagious!

 Kissable lips!

 Kisses for Daddy <3

 Tickles from Daddy!  She giggles all the time now, so cute.

 Caught one of her faces...wish you could hear the sounds she was making!

 She does this all the time, dives into the sheets and pillows :)

 Hi Mommy!  Somebody needs a hair clip, haha! 

Sometimes if she wakes up from her nap too early, she will let me bring her into bed with me and will roll around till she gets comfy and falls asleep for a little bit longer.  This was the perfect Saturday nap!  Oh and she doesn't like covers at all, just like her Daddy!

 Mommy likes to get in on the bath time fun now too!

 OMG the cutest booty ever!

 Sweet face...looks like she just got caught doing something wrong, haha!

I had to include this one because it is so cute when she plays with my belly button.  She loves to stick those little fingers in everything!

 I just liked the water in this one! 

 Showing off her teeth!

 She always sucks on her bath toys!

Hi big girl!  She is spoiled with that big tub to play in!

Baby's First Fourth of July!

So the holiday is way over but I am just getting around to posting these pictures!  For the Fourth we went to some friend's of ours house for a party...in hopes that Kennedy would maybe make it to the fireworks dsiplay...but maybe not!  From their house you can see the Red Hot and Boom fireworks in Altamonte across the lake.  Oh well, maybe next year...I think they would have scared her anyways.  What she did like though was the potato salad and all the other babies there to play with.  We had a fun time for sure!  Rusty and I listened to the fireworks this year from our couch :)

 She got her first balloon from the lady at Publix!

 She loves to stand in our hands...ever since she found her feet.  It is a little harder now though!  I think she is practicing her cheerleading skills she will of course have!

 Sportin' their patriotic colors!

 Kennedy is clearly happy that she has on this crazy headband, haha!  Aunt Sharon wore the same one last Fourth when we were in the Cape and Kennedy was in mommy's belly :)

 Playing with her man Miles!  She is doing a lot of sweating these days in this Florida heat so she tends to be in just her diaper a lot!

 What MOM?!!  Her faces are priceless.

 Posing for the camera with Miss Jeanine!

 She is finally starting to TRY and hold her bottle...but really she just wants Mommy to hold it!

Sweet Baby Miles is only 4 months younger than Kennedy.  They will have lots of fun growing up together :)

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!

Ten Months is TotaLLy FUN!

I am a little late on posting these pictures so some of them are more recent than others and of course there are quite a few to catch up on!  I seriously have to quit saying that every month is my favorite BUT this one is bringing LOTS of smiles to Kennedy and Mommy and Daddy :)  Her little personality is in full force!  She looks bigger every time I turn my head...especially when she is standing in the middle of the room with no hands or feeding herself in her high chair.  I keep telling Rusty that she is no longer just 10 months old...she will be ONE next month!!!  Oh wow, time sure does fly.  So this past month, Kennedy has been busy standing solo (steps will be SOON), smiling with a mouthful of teeth (I lost count, but I think 10), giggling, and is trying lots of new finger foods (including cucumbers, hummus, broccoli, cheese sticks, french toast, and pasta).  My favorites are that she started saying MOMMA (not that she knows why yet, but it's still so sweet), she gets shy now and puts her head on my shoulder when someone talks to her, and also is very snuggly now when she is tired....basically she is a mommy's girl!  I am cherishing every minute I get to hold her and rock her when she is STILL :)  Rusty loves that she runs from him now...AKA crawls as fast as she can when he chases her saying "I'm going to get you!".  He also loves to tickle her under her neck, rub her back to give her chills and he is always singing Twinkle Twinkle or Old MacDonald to her (her faves!).  We enjoy all the family time we can get and as you will see...taking lots of pictures of our beautiful baby girl!  She has a new expression daily, enjoy!

Hi my name is Kennedy, I am 10 months old and this is my new bean bag :)

 This picture was taken on her birthday...Rusty made her whole wheat cinnamon french toast...she liked it and so did we!

 She was sliding on the wood floors, haha! Silly girl.

 Love when she gets on her knees and love this new shirt we got her!

 Studying Baby Einstein, she seriously loves this...best invention ever!

 She gets so excited when the music comes on...I am sure she will know how to use the iPad soon!

 She follows the animals as they cross the screen!  So cute!

 Snuggling with Mommy. The.Best.Ever.

 She loves the vacuum and also this bookcase.  It is the FIRST place she crawls to when she is out of her gates!

 Loves her water and broccoli is a hit! 

 These are her new baby gates...been a lifesaver for me!  She is yelling to get out I think, haha!

 This is her other favorite place to be in the house, looking out the window.  I love her reflection in this picture!

And there she is again, this time she is dressed!

 Watching her new favorite movie, Barnyard, after breakfast.  I catch her smiling at certain parts...wonder if she gets it?? :)

 Headed to the pool...she LOVES the water!  That is the Graf in her!

 Something was funny!

 Our baby angel!

Playing with Mommy!  Told you she was doing lots of smiling these days!

Hi Kennedy!

 She sleeps in the funniest positions now!  And she looks so big in her crib!

 Twin Toes!  Will she have Daddy's flat feet?  That is the question!

I had to include this one.  My friend Rhonda from high school had triplet girls the month before I had Kennedy.  She already had one daughter.  Then on the right side of the couch are my friend Amy's three kids and Kennedy of course!  We had a daycare on the couch, haha!

My photographer friend asked Kennedy to model this outfit for a children's company...she gave me the edited pictures in return...so sweet!

 Of course she was playing with the sand!

 This one and the next one are my favorites!  Look at those curls!

 

So stunning...I just want to eat her up!  Thank you Melody Dowdy for capturing these!
