There's a first for everything....



I truly enjoy blogging about our journey as parents and sharing all the pictures of our family with you...but most of all I hope that one day Kennedy and Presley will love reading this blog and cherish each memory I have tried to capture for them. Our girls bring us so much joy everyday!

We have a year and a half old little girl! Time is flying...

I am trying to get a few more blogs in before life with 2 comes along and my time is spread even more thin!  We are really enjoying this "stage" Kennedy is in.  She is learning new things everyday, having tons of conversations with herself and us (although not much makes sense, haha), becoming much more independent (I am not surprised!), looking more and more like a little girl, and quite the little daredevil/gymnast??!!  She loves smoothies, straws, beads, balls, mommy's jewelry, shoes, playing with daddy, KIDS, books, climbing and being outside.  We take strolls in her "car" around the neighborhood all the time.  We can't wait for her to meet this new baby, she will be such a great big sister for sure :)  Well enough writing, let's get to the pictures so you can see for yourself what Miss Kennedy has been up to these days! 

 Caught in the act!  She loves to jump off the side of the couch to her bean bag.
 
 Playing with her new easel from Nini. 
 
 You will see that playing with Daddy is her favorite!
 
Yay!  I get to go outside!
 
 What Momma?  You aren't coming with me? :)
 
 Her boots with the fuuuuurrrrr!  This is where you will find Kennedy most of the time!
 
 Thankful for the cold weather so we could have some fires in our new fire place!
 
 Daddy is hungry....
 
 Hungry for RIBS!!  I can just hear her giggles!
 
 Just reading by the fire...we find her all the time with her books...makes me so happy!
 
 
 Good Morning!
 
 Where's Kennedy!
 
 Getting into Uncle Matty's things...
 
 Kennedy loves to sit with me while I get ready and get into everything! 
 
 There she goes!  Jumping everywhere!
 
 Hi angel!
 
 Daddy did it!
 
 
 Enjoying the weather!
 Our beautiful girl!  Love this one!
 She is always trying to stand on her head!
 
Happy!
 
 How big is Kennedy??!!  Soooo Big!
 
 Kennedy and her BFF Daniel.  They are so cute.  She is going to miss him.
 
Uncle Matty and Uncle Bucci opened their store in DeLand this past weekend, Sportsanity!  We were excited to be at the Grand Opening!  As you can tell by Kennedy's face, haha!
 

Kennedy thought the store was a BIG hit!  Thanks for the shirt boys!
 
 Loves to "read" her DVDs and watch TV!  haha!
 
Getting ready for Easter! 
 

Trying to get my belly button, lol!
 
Sweet Baby G2's face at 35 weeks I think....can't wait to meet him or her!
 

36 week belly...OMG!

Valentine Babies

Have a I told you how much I love my new photographer FRIEND??!!  She is so awesome with the camera, such a family gal, and such a nice person.  She offered to take these pictures for us because I have gladly given her so many referrals...of course we happily accepted!  I love how candid and natural they came out, and she caught our "full of expression" baby girl. They were taken in her backyard which is beautiful and Kennedy had a blast running around!  Kennedy is a little over 17 months here and I am 32 weeks pregnant.  Happy Valentine's Day everyone, enjoy! 

 So many of these pictures are my favorites but this one make me smile everytime I see it.  Sooo Rusty, captured perfectly.
 
Angel Face.

 Another favorite of mine...Pinterest inspired, haha.  Finally a tribute to the Baby G2 belly at 32 weeks.  I love it.
 
 She loves her Daddy.  We think we'll keep him :)
 
 Kennedy loves doing SO BIG.  She was supposed to be sitting on the stool but instead our daredevil stood up.  So cute though, just like her!


 
Girl loves sticks!
 

Something was funny...don't tell Daddy but this is why we bring him along for the photo sessions, he gets the best smiles out of her :)
 

The girls...and she still has her sticks!
 

So beautiful...and yes, a bigger stick!
 

Kennedy would run up and down this sidewalk and then stop and clap as if she was so proud of herself!
Thanks Old Navy for the super cute outfit :)
 

Another sweet face of Kennedy's.  Look at her hair!
 
And that's a wrap...she is off!

A little here and there...

What have the Graf's been up to?  Or more like what has Kennedy been up to?!  I finally got a bunch of random pictures off of my camera and my phone so I can share some with you!  Some are old and some are new.  We have about 6 weeks left until Baby G2 will bless us with he or she's presence so we are busy getting things done to prepare for life with 2.  But ready or not...the date is coming!  So excitng! 


 Moving into our new house with a present from Daddy!  Home Depot has it all these days, haha!
 
 Taking a stroll with her boyfriend Daniel...fresh air does a body good :)
 
 
 Still in love with Baby Einstein and the iPad is her best friend...times have changed, yes they have!
 
 New Year's Eve as a family!  Yep, times have changed....
 
Kennedy and Daniel at the zoo.  Did she just see a lion??!!  LOL!  This is Alyssa, our nanny's best friend.  They took the kids to the zoo for the day and had so much fun!

Kennedy loved the playground at the zoo too!

 What is it about Baby Einstein??!!
 
 Sneaking in some US time...Happy Birthday Rusty!  We went downtown for the night just like old times!
 
 Having fun at the Lake Lilly Farmer's Market near our new neighborhood!
 
 Having a snack and watching the tube!
 
 
 Laughing at Mommy's belly button...this is at 6 months I think (it's sad that I haven't been keeping track of my growth with this one!) but now at 33 weeks, this turkey is done and my belly button blends in with my belly, haha!
 Being silly!
 Playing with rocks is one of her favorites.  Yes, this winter has been mild and we have been outside doing spring activities!
 
s
 Helping Daddy wash Mommy's car.
 
 What are you up to Kennedy??!!
 
 Going in for the SPLASH!  She does this in the tub too!
 
 Look at ME!
 
 Yep, I am going to throw this big rock!  She has an arm on her!
 In action!
 Her new car from Maw Maw...she loves going for rides.  Holding on for dear life, lol!
 Weeeeeeeeee!
 
 She is a daredevil for sure!  Didn't get that from me!
 
 Her new thing is to climb everything, get into small places, and jump off the couch like a cliffdiver.  No fear, this child! 
 
 I also catch her reading books by herself and chatting it up.  So sweet!
 
 And getting into no good!
 
 She follows Rusty around everywhere and wants to be his little helper.  Not quite the girly girl Mommy thought she would be! 
 
 Just reading her DVD's :)
 
 Play Date with her friend Bryn.  Kennedy loved the rice table!
 
Play Date with her friend Camille.  Taking a stroll in the neighborhood!
 

Glamour Shots on her walk with Miss Rachel!

 The whole family ran in the Me Strong 5K in DeLand to support a local lady fighting cancer.  It was so much fun but so cold and poor Kennedy got windburn!

Pooped out after the race!
 
 8 months pregnant here and Kennedy now pinches and tries to eat my belly button!  Wonder what she will think of this new baby?
 
Having a snack and watching the iPad in the truck.  Another favorite of hers.  She lives the life!
 
Hope you enjoyed all the random catch up pictures!  Kennedy is turning into a little girl before our eyes.  She is such a joy to watch grow!  Stay tuned :)
