2 months

My baby girl is 2 months old and I can not believe how fast it has come and gone.  I would also like to say that Chris took the kids to the doc for her appointment while I was at the scrapbook expo with my sister.  

She is:

12 lbs 8 oz (90%)

23 1/2 in (85%)

Head (50%)

She is wearing 0-3 and 3-6.

She eats every 3 hours during the day and at night she sleeps about a 5 hour stretch on most nights.

She loves to be held and loves to kick.  She is still in our room.  It is past the time but I am not ready for her to be with Carter.  He wants her so bad in the room in her crib.  So the other night I put her in there and at 2 in the morning she was crying and he calls me and says "Kennedy cryin you comin to get her?"  Then her next feeding he didn't even move to her crying.  She lays in bed with him every night for story time and prayers.  I love that he likes her there.  She smiles a lot of the time but mostly it is to someone you can't see.  

We love her and are so glad she is here with us.  

4 YEARS

I JUST LOVE THIS MAN!!!!

How lucky am I that I get to be with this man for the rest of my life.  I have 2 beautiful children with him and on top of that He gets me.  Sometimes he just looks at me shakes his head and smiles.  I think about my wedding all the time.  It was one of the best days of my life and I will never forget it and it is the one day that I think I look awesome and I love my dress, any ways back to my husband.  I have to say I think he has the cutest butt, I do!   

ON our day we spent the day with the kids, and then that night with my parents.  Thanks for watching them for us.  All we did was have a wonderful dinner, get some ice cream and then went home and put kids to bed.  Every year we have always stayed a night away but not this year with a baby and a 3 am feeding.

I love him and can't wait for more years to come and go.

 Carter got a sun burn under his eyes, how we missed that I am not sure.

 My wonderful family, the Meyers and the Slaughter's

 The Slaughter's

 The Meyer's

We got great deals on groupon for Solider Hollow and it was the best money spent.  We went at the perfect time and everyone had fun.  Kennedy and I stayed at the bottom and watched them come down the hill.  My niece Paige didn't like going so she stayed with me.    Later that night we met at McDonald's for my other niece birthday Maddie.  She turned 2 and she is so cute.  She LOVES Kennedy.  She loves babies.  To bad Mel is not having anymore, she would be a great baby sitter.

March 7, 2012

Carter and I had a Mommy and Son date.  I took him to see Toy Story 3 on Ice.  Oh he loved loved loved it.  It was worth every single penny and just a few days before I found a fully loaded Disney Woody costume at a consignment sale for $15.  What a great deal.  We have been having our better days more than we have been.  I have to say this love/hate towards me started about 3 mos into my pregnancy when I started to tell him NO I couldn't do certain things.  I tried really hard to do other things with him but he became all boy over night and alot of those other things he was not interested in.  I Love him more than I could ever express.  I think about how much I love him and it always brings tears to my eyes.  I remember the first time I held him, pure joy and when I hug him now I still feel that pure joy, it amazes me that it continues to grow.

6 weeks and random

 Proof he loves her!

 Okay so the arms are not so flattering but lets be honest I never really had that great of arms anyways.  I am down 30 out of the 45 I put on.  It took me a year with carter and some serious depression to do something about myself.  This time I started eating good right after she was born, except the soda, I can't let go yet.  I am really excited I am wearing jeans that button.  So excited.

The snow storm brought on good times for Chris and Carter.  He built him in the shade so he would stay longer.

Kennedy is:
Out of newborn and some  0-3, she has such  a long torso.
She does about a 5 hr stretch on most nights
She smiles, did her first few smiles at 5 weeks
Nursing is going better.  It takes us about 30 mns now
I can not have anything with a kick, oh she hated me a few different times last week.
she stays awake for about 6-7 hrs a day

She is so sweet, we just love her.

A Paperdoll Nursery

 The banner over the crib was mad eby my sister in laws. It has torn fabric with some of her newborn pictures hanging from it.  It was used for a meet and greet shower.

 This is one of my favorite quilts i have ever made.  I have been holding on to it for when I had a girl.

This changing table was given to me by my dear friend Karen Pew.  Carter used it and I am pretty sure all my ids will.

Carter's favorite thing and he loves to show it to you if you come over.

Right now she is in our room in the pack in play until she sleeps thru the night.

St George and A Hike

 This is what Kennedy and I did in st George, and swimming.

 This is what Chris and Carter did...went on walks and swimming.  I forget to take pictures when we go there because we just relax the whole time.  We watch movies, we play games we swim and we always go to the TJ Maxx down there.  It is one of the best.  We had a great time with Gma Rass, Bob and Kae

 Kae and Ricky

A few days before we went to St George, Chris went on a hike by his house in Alpine with his mom.  When it snows you hike up and then sled down.  

Valentine's Day

Chris and i always spend Valentine's Day at home with the Kids and Gma.  We always make a really nice meal, one of our favorites...BBQ pork chops, baked potato with ranch from Lonestar steak house.  Seriously the best.  Then we give a card and a small present.

 The Card we made for Chris and Gma.  These are Carter's hands.

 When you open them it says "THIS MUCH"

This is the necklace I got from Chris.  Every birth I get a birthstone necklace.  When Carter was suppose to be born in June (June 12th) Chris got me the june birth stone for mother's day.  Then 2 weeks later Carter came in May.  So now I have a necklace for June which will represent Chris's Birthday.  Then when my kids are older they will get these necklaces to wear or give to a special lady friend, if they choose.

Happy Birthday to My Sister Carrie.  Loved having her here for Kennedy's birth and we miss her everyday.

Carrie and Kennedy the day she came home from the hospital.  Love you Sis!
