Mornings...

I have found that some people HATE mornings.. and some people LOVE mornings. Some have to have their coffee before talking to anyone, some jump out of bed chatting away. Some will wake up with a smile, some will wake up with a frown.
I have finally figured out how Kennedy likes to wake up!! She has to wake up on her OWN. She has to be the first one to smile at you and to talk to you. You then have to allow her to stay in bed for a few minutes... roll around in the blankets, possibly play peek-a-boo, say, "hi" in her quiet whisper and then... then she is ready to wake up!! And then when she wakes up she LOVES to go out to the front room and dance!! She is still bobbin' her head as we change her diaper. She is then ready for the day!! It only took me close to 17 months to figure out!! I guess it's better late then never.

A little update...

I can not believe how fast Christmas is coming!! 15 days.. but who is counting. I'm trying to be very realistic this year and take advantage that Kennedy is only 16 months and not over due on the Christmas presents. Its so easy to become so commercialized on Christmas when really we should be celebrating Christ and remembering everything he has done for us.

I am so thankful for my faith and my wonderful Church family who helps me remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Kennedy is getting so big and by big I mean more and more mature. She still is a tiny thing but growing so much. She helped me put up the Christmas tree.. I should have done it when she was a sleep!! She thought it was more fun to take the ornaments off then put them on.

She still loves to talk and when she talks she is telling you a full on story. It was so funny on Thanksgiving, Grams (aunt Cle) was in the kitchen finishing up and Kennedy was in there telling her so many stories. It was really cute!!

She LOVES the phone and will carry it around the house and talk on it.

She LOVES her blanky. If she is tired enough she will get her blanky and just go lay on the floor. You then know its bed time!

She LOVES to play... play with her cousins and her friends. She gets so anxious on Monday morning to get to Aunty Niki's house to play. She is saying "bye" to me before we even pull in the drive way. We're so lucky to have Niki babysit. Kennedy absolutely loves them and its so nice knowing I don't have to worry.

We had Kennedy's pictures taken for Christmas but she just wasn't feeling it this day. Lol.. she looks a little angry!!! I guess you can't be feeling it all the time!!

Here are a few of the pics and some more pics from San Diego. We can't wait to go back!!
