Getting in the ChRiStMaS SPiRiT!!

I love this time of the year...even more so now that Kennedy is around :) We picked out our Christmas tree as a family this year and it is the best one yet. I think the highlight of all the decorating though was watching her face as we strung the lights on the tree...she LOVES the lights and all the colorful decorations around the house. I am sure next year she will be trying to tear them down so I am going to enjoy this while I can!

Kennedy THINKING about what tree to choose :)

Our family tree! Not the best picture, but hey, it's a memory!

Kennedy and Daddy....and still thinking...who doesn't think with their hands in their mouth??!!

Before......

And after....just need some presents now :)

Kennedy was in love with this Santa nightlight...seeing the world through the eyes of a baby is priceless.

I love her! Santa will definitely visit her this year :)

SANTA BABY <3

The hat is a little big but still so cute :)

That's better mommy!

Help me, haha! Love our little Santa Baby!

We hit the 3 month milestone!

All we have heard since we had Kennedy was wait until she is 3 months old....now I can see why! She is becoming a little person, full of personality and learning new things everyday. I LOVE watching her explore and take in everything with those big, curious eyes. Watching her take the world in is seriously one of my favorite things to do these days. I think her hands are her favorite right now, they are in her mouth constantly (even when she gags herself!), moving all around, and now she is grabbing and holding onto things. Like the the blog says, "It's the little things"! I know the months ahead will be so much fun. I tried so hard to get her to smile that sweet smile she always gives us, but when the camera is around, she just focuses on it...or puts her hands in her mouth! Enjoy!

Happy 3 months Kennedy! My friend Julie gave me these stickers to use for the blog...of course I am just remembering to do it! SO cute :)

Take one in the Bumbo seat...she is so much stronger now...and loves her hands!

Take 2...she is full of expressions these days!

Take 3...and the hands are off the face! Look at those pretty lips!

Still trying to get a smile...but she is still adorable!

Please look at my girl's hair! It's getting so long, I think it will be curly like daddy's was when he was this age. :)

Did I mention she likes her tongue too?!! This is her Christmas bow :) Yep, I am addicted to doing her hair!!!

Oh I hope her eyes stay blue!! This is her new winter hat for our trip up north to see Nini this week, LOVE!

<3 It's funny she looks like a bald baby wth hats on!

Caught a sweet smile in the bath :)

We like to play with her wet hair!

Cutest little duck :) Another expression of hers!

After Daddy blow dries her hair, she is a princess :)

She's pooped from all these pics! I was messing with her hair :)

She does like her sleep!

Trying to do some tummy time but she just likes her hands better :)

This is what Mommy does to me when it's cold and we are going for a run, haha!

I also got to meet my Uncle Matty when I was 3 months old...backpack baby in Publix!!!

What's up everyone! Uncle Matty is a pretty cool uncle! And we both got a visit from the hair fairy last night, haha!

Stay tuned for more pictures as we get ready for Christmas and Kennedy takes her first plane ride!

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!!!!!
