Can You see the resemblence???

Note to katie: You really shouldn't stand people up. It just isn't nice.

Are we SERIOUS?

Ok...so you have to watch all the way to the end...I'm sorry.

(she actually says it at the 2 minute mark...so if you can fast forward the boring stuff...go for it. if i knew how to chop it up I would.)
Is God kidding me that Kennedy's first real word is Dora?
All morning my meatball ran around pointing to her pj's and saying Dora.
She still calls me dadadada or tatatata but she knows who Dora is?
I think I may have to limit the tv.

Feeling Guilty :/

Of course, its Katie's fault. Katie reminded me yesterday of just how festive I used to be on Halloween. Halloween is my Christmas. I have stunk at Halloween for three years. Last year Kennedy was just "fresh", so i really didnt have the energy. The year before that John's mom had passed away a week earlier, and I wasn't feeling in the spirit. So why this year? What the hell is my excuse? Nothing. I have no excuses. I also have no lights, no jack-o- lanterns, no spiderwebs and no creepy graveyard in my front yard. I stink. I want to be dripping in spirit!

This is my last Halloween as a grinch. I used to be costumed and decorated every year. I refuse to not let my daughter see that side of me! I want to be a fun Mom!

Errrr...See what you do to me Kate? Now i am all stressed out about Pumpkins and spider webs! next year you just wait! I will do Halloween better then it has ever been done!

In the meantime....here is a pic from last halloween when my baby was only 16 days old. Piglet...awwwwwwwwwww.

Lobster Hands

(LOL at the hands!)

One of my favourite things about winter--babies with Lobster hands!!

I love it! I can't get enough of kids who have been stuffed into snowsuits and mittens.

Today Kennedy had Lobster hands for the first time this year....and i loved every second of it!

The Cardboard Ring

Sometimes it's a necklace,

Sometimes it's a Hat,

Sometimes It's a chew toy,

Sometimes its a hat for Mommy (not often)

Kennedy is in love with this cardboard ring.

That's right, a cardboard ring. She plays with it CONSTANTly.

She puts it over her head and exclaims "oooooooohhh", as if it is

beautiful jewelry. She wears it like a hat. She chews it. And

sometimes if i am really lucky it is offered to me to wear on my

own head. ( Not often)

Seriously... I hope she liked the toy that came with that cardboard.

If i could only remember what that was...

Little Sis...Big Sis

Everyone always says that Hannah and Kennedy look alike....but dontcha think she looks like Madi?? A little? I think that they look similar except for the fact that Kennedy is a WHOLE lot cuter. Hahaha. Just Jokin Madi.

A year already?

This picture is taken exactly to the minute 1 year old.

When Ethans Mommy started whining a month ago about how sad she was her little man was about to turn one, I passed it off as pregnancy hormones. So , as kennedy's birthday approached I realized-- IT REALLY IS SAD!! A year. She has changed so much ! I forget already what those "new" days are like. I forget what the cry of a newborn baby sounds like. I forget that new baby smell. I forget what it was like to hold a frail teeny tiny baby.

Kennedy runs around non stop. She immitates EVERYTHING. She performs quite regularily for people with her witches laugh, her lion roar and (my favourite) her babbily version of the abc's. (which as soon as i can catch on video will be posted!) She signs for food, and when she sees a dog, and for "more" when Daddy tickles her. She has such a super duper personality now. Gone are the little baby days, and as sad as that is....I wouldn't give up these days for anything. She interacts with me now..and delibrately tries to make me laugh while applauding for herself the whole time. She is funny. Really funny.

Happy Birthday Baby!

What a great party! Kennedy had a wonderful 1st birthday! (thanks blogger for finally allowing me to post pics!!)

Thank you everyone for coming!! She was so spoiled!

Even though she didn't try any cake at the party when she got home she DEVOURED a cupcake. I hope every birthday is as much fun!

Happy Birthday Kennedy

Well I am trying desperately again to use blogger but for some reason everytime I try to update, Blogger wont let me. So this is all you get for now. One lousy picture. She sure looked perfect even at birth. :) I have so much i want to post but Blogger and I are not friends....again.
