Baby Signs

I finally started introducing signs to Kennedy. She looks at me like I am crazy as I attempt to sign "milk" and "eat". They say babies typically won't sign back until 6 months. The statistics behind this form of early communication are awesome. Most babies who are signed to will have a "vocabulary" of about 10 words by 8 months. I am anxious for the first time she uses signs to communicate, - I am dying to know what goes on in her little head :) For more information visit this great site http://www.signingbaby.com/main/

Favourite Pic(s) of The Moment




Look what I found!










Kennedy discovered a few weeks ago that her hands are functional. It amazes me everyday how much she is using them. She holds her small toys, her bottle and affectionately rubs my cheek when I hold her. John first noticed her affection about a week ago when she would rub his chin when he held her. It is so nice. I love that she is affectionate. Today in her fumbling around she discovered that she has feet, and now that she knows how to work her hands - she can grab her feet. Too cute.

Chubby Cheeks



Is it just me or are Kennedy's cheeks getting chubbier by the minute?

What are you looking at??

I seriously wonder what is up with my child. She LOVES getting her picture taken. No matter what is going on in the house, she stops everything and gives me a smile. Nothing can distract her away from being the center of attention.

First a dress, now a sweater




Same Hat, Same Baby, Bigger Head


Her head has grown ALOT in 4 months. I hope it slows down, or at this rate she won't be able to hold it up straight.


Happy 4 Months!!







Wow, time is flying!! 4 months old already. It is crazy to think she has changed from a baby blob to what she is today. She gets more and more personality and spunk every single day.

This is me today!!



Sneaky Baby



I thought that having a shower and getting ready would be easy today. Kennedy was in a super mood and wanted nothing more than to lay around in her diaper and suck her hand. Sooo... I put a blanket on her floor and left her after searching around to make sure there was nothing for her to eat.

10 minutes pass.

A refreshed mommy walks down the hall to Kennedy's bedroom and there on the floor where I left her...NOTHING. Well the blanket was there, but she was not. I was home alone. WHERE DID SHE GO? First thought was " Oh my god, she crawled...AND I MISSED IT!" I searched upstairs prepared to find my child on all fours exploring. Nope. DID SHE FALL DOWN THE STAIRS??..then the worst thoughts entered my mind. DID SOMEONE BREAK IN AND TAKE HER??????

In the midst of a heart attack, I went back in her room and suddenly from under the bed I saw it... The arm. SHE ROLLED UNDER THE BED. She must have rolled at least 6 or 7 times to get there and I can't believe she didn't knock herself out. She was quite content to be there, but man did she give mommy a scare.

*note to self - never ever ever leave Kennedy anywhere where she can roll off of or into anything.

Splish Splash...





She finally enjoyed the bath!! In fact, when I tried to take her out she screamed so hard, I put her back in. She was in there for 35 minutes!! When I finally did take her out she was a wrinkly little raisin, but it sure beats our normal 30 second bath. Ussually I lie her on the floor, suds her up and dip her in to rinse while she screams at the top of her lungs. I think the trick was we got a new bath seat. She liked sitting in it. After she had sat for quite a while I layed her on her back. She was already enjoying the bath so much she didn't mind. This new nine dollar ring could make life in our household (while bath life anyhow) a lot easier.

Kennedy went to see the Doc today and she has gained 7lbs since birth. She is over 15 lbs! She has also grown an inch and a half in length in one month. I can not believe how quickly she has grown :/ I still can not believe she is almost 4 months old. Time has flown, but in the same breath I can't remember what life was like before her. She has brought me so many smiles already in her four short months :)

This is me today!

I have a new friend. I lovvvve Cookie monster. He sings me songs and makes silly noises, and all mommy has to do is lay there and keep pushing the button. She can even close her eyes!!!!


Sometimes i try to eat his cookie.

Shiny Princess Shoes!!!

She loves to sit and stare at the sparkles.

They fit Ash!!! They finally fit!

Baby leggs....I've got the cutest little Baby Leggs!!



There are days when Kennedy loves to wear the Baby Leggs...















Then there are days like this.
