7 weeks already!

Kennedy is 7 weeks as of yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! She sure has grown, and fast! I put together a slide show of some of my favorite pictures. Its hard to only pick a few.....I love all 1500 or so we've taken.




She sure keeps me on my feet! We have a very active schedule, our morning starts around 5:30/6:00 we eat, then read/sing, then we go down for our first nap(this is our best one...she gives me about 2hrs.)! Then were up for another feeding, and playtime. Which consists of sitting in her chair looking outside, laying on the activity mat, playing with our sock puppets, and dancing(which she LOVES). We get really tired from all this play, so down we go for another nap. This one is never as good as the first(40mins to an 1hr.). Yep, you guessed it, up for more FOOD!! She sure does love to eat....weighing in over 9lbs. Now its bath time, and she reallllly loves this time of our day! I'm pretty sure shes gonna be a fish like her mama:) On super fussy days(which we have had our share of) we spend anywhere from 45mins. to an hour splashing and singing in the kitchen sink! Then were off to dream land, and this one is usually a pretty good one(1hr. to 90mins.). All that splashing I guess! Daddy is usually home by the time were wrapping up our next feeding. Which is great timing...we get a little family time, then off to bed for her last nap. This is when Mark and I have our time!! Dinner, wine, TV time, and adult conversations;) which is definitely needed by this time of the day. Kennedy wakes around 8:30/9 for her last feeding and then right back to bed for the night. We get anywhere from 5 to 6 hours of sleep out her during this time. We wake and eat, then back to bed for another 2 to 3 hrs. Then we do it alllll over again:) Occasionally, we get out and venture down to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Which we ALL love! Except for the car ride, Kennedy HATES her car seat. I get a break(thanks mom and dad, you guys are great), they get to spoil her with lovin:),and Kennedy gets a change of scenery. Its a win, win,win:) Weekends run close to the same, but we do have daddy at home during this time, and he is a HUGE help! He takes on pretty much all the late night feedings so I can get some solid sleep. Kennedy gets daddy playtime, which consists of games like.....show daddy how much you love him(her arms are always straight out during this game), stealin kisses, dookey dancin, and let me see that pretty smile! They have a great time together. We all are having fun learning how to fit, its a dance in itself, and I wouldn't change for the world!
