First Moment

Its a FIRST moment.... Kennedy rolled over!! She was laying on her back and rolled over to her tummy this morning!! We were so excited. I can't believe how much she is growing. I was looking at her last night as she was sleeping and I couldn't believe how much she changes and grows every day. After, she rolled over she just kept talking and smiling. I don't know who was more excited mommy and daddy or her!!

Doctors

Poor Kennedy has been so congested for the past week. We've tried the humidifier and nasal drops, but it hasn't been helping much. Thanks to her great baby sitter Niki she suggested having baby sleep elevated which definitely has helped some. We went to the doctors yesterday and he said her lungs are clear, but she definitely is the worst congested he's heard this season. However, the season is just starting. He recommended a new nose suction thing (lol... I'm not sure the name of it), but it supposed to work much better for smaller noses. So we are going to try this along with the humidifier and nasal drops. Lol.. the doctor said if she continues to be congested then we can see about renting a baby booger getter. Yes, this is really what its called. I'm hoping it won't go that far!! She has been such a trooper, even tho she can't breath she is always in a good mood!! :)

My little Lady Bug

Had to show off our

Lady Bug!!

Her facial expressions were making

me laugh so hard!! It was like she was saying, "what are you doing mom.. another picture!" But she definitely was a good sport. She wasn't really feeling well this day and still allowed me to take a few pictures! Love those cheek...!!!!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!

Wow... what a full but excitting day! Thank you to my who who sista Barb for making the cutest Lady Bug costume for Kennedy.

Thanks Barb!!

We started our day with lunch with Grandpa McFall and Uncle Kyle then went to Grandmas work were we met up with Barb and her granddaughters to trick or treat!

Kennedy loves to play with Sadie and Abby and of course she loves her Grandma! Grandpa and Kyle was such a good sport in taking Kennedy around. After Grandmas work we went up to my work to show our little lady bug off.

We then went to Khari work were we met up with Kennedy sister Jasmine, who was Super Girl. She also looked beyond cute as she always does! Jasmine is growing up so fast. She is now in pre school and so smart. She loves her class and all her friends she has made in it.

Kennedy and her Super Girl Sister Jasmine!!

After Khari work we went back to Grandma and Grandpa McFall and met up with cousin Gwen who was the cutest Duck!! We then went to the Lapuahos to check out their awesome Haunted House! Thank you so much Mark and Stacy for putting that on. Jasmine loved it to so much she went thru 3 times and would've gone more if we would have let her. This was our full...full day!! It was an awesome 1st Halloween!

It was so awesome that once we got home both girls fell right to sleep. Here is a pic of the next morning. Both girls were up and at it!! Jasmine is such a good big sister. She was so excited because Kennedy was talking to her. Lol.. Jasmine said she was saying, "no..no...no..."!!! I think she was saying, "I love you sister"!!
Lol..usually Kennedy is quite the morning person, but this morning she wasn't too excited to be up!!

Random Pictures

For all our friends and family out of state here are some random pics of Kennedy. She is smiling and talking tonz! She love her little tongue and will try copying sounds you make. She is grasping things and understands her name!! She is such a strong baby, loving to stand and dance!! Thankfully she is sleeping better at night. Usually if she goes down around 10:30-11pm she will sleep until I wake her up at 7am. Because of health problems Grammy is unable to tend Kennedy. We were sad to hear this but would definitely rather Grammy be healthy!! My good friend Niki who I have known since Jr. High offered to watch Kennedy. What a blessing this is. I am truelly blessed to have such good friends and family! Niki has 3 kids and is such a good mom who I look up to. I am excited for Kennedy to grow up with her kids. Thank you to my good friend Stacy as well for offering. Like I said I'm truelly blessed with great friends!

Getting into the spirit!!

I've wanted to take Kennedy to her first pumpkin patch, but have ran out of time!! Lol.. there just isn't enough time during the day!! :) But... thanks to Grandma and Grandpa McFall and their wonderful neighbors we were able to take Kennedy pictures in the neighbors front yard on their awesome Halloween decorations!!

Lol.... this one was a little difficult, she kept falling backwards!!

Lol.. she looks our little budah baby!!

Lol.. good thing Grandpa has a strong arm!! Thank you to Charity from my work for the cute..cute.. shirt!!

So, everyone keeps telling me I need to start blogging... So, here we go!!!
Khari and I were blessed on August 6th, 2008 a beautiful baby girl, Kennedy Christi Hawkins! She was quite the surprise, but a very pleasant surprise and one that we are very grateful for. She is truelly a blessing. Kennedy weighed 6'7 lbs and was 191/2 inches.
Talk about a SURPRISE... I went to the doctors on August 4th for just your regular weekly check up and found out I was having a C-Section that Wednesday!! Thank goodness I have an amazing doctor, Kat Miller and knew I was in good hands. The delivery was awesome, my doctor and my good friend Yvonne who is a nurse at St. Marks were part of my delivery... talk about a party!! Lol... the only thing missing they said was my heels!! Yep... wore heels to the day I delivered!! A girl has to do what a girl has to do!!! Kennedy was born at 1:18pm and the delivery went smooth.
Choosing a name for Kennedy was pretty easy. In both Khari and mines family, the children's were all named "K" names, so of course our baby had to be a "K". I've always liked the name Kennedy and he didn't seem to mind it either. The middle name is really special to me and I knew if I ever had a baby girl I would name her after my late sister, Kristi. Kristi was an amazing person always smiling, spunky and full of life. I know that she had part of sending Kennedy to me. Lol.. I'm not quite sure why yet, but I know that she prepared Kennedy before coming down. Thanks sis!!
Kennedy is now 2 months and weighs 12lbs and is 22 inches long. Lol.. she loves to eat!! Her little personality is definitely coming out. She is beginning to smile and talk, which totally makes your day. But, no worries the attitude also shines!! Lol.. just ask Grammy. We are lucky to have Khari Aunt babysit her, which is so nice. Kennedy has learned... she will sit and cry and then when you look at her she'll stop... then once you turn away she'll cry again. No worries.. theres no tears coming out she just wants it her way!! lol.... just like a girl.
