Sisters

Since Kennedy is 3 weeks old today I thought it would be fun to have a little sisters photo shoot in some coordinating sweaters and hats I had picked up for the girls.

Kissing baby Kennedy
Reagan decided it was time for the hats to come off and time to wear bows

"Lounging"

Sweet sisters

Not great pictures of their faces but I thought it was so cute that they both crossed their legs

"Hug" - That's what Reagan told Daddy before laying her head down on his shoulder

One picture of open eyes :)

Kennedy had her two week appointment last Monday and weighed 8lb 5oz. She is currently in the 75 percentile for both height and weight.

Good-bye Grammy Gifts

Grammy left to go home today which made Reagan very sad. :( Grammy had planned ahead though and had some good-bye gifts for Reagan to open and play with. They were mostly Thomas toys and Reagan loved all of them. Thank you Grammy for spending so much time with us and for these cool new toys!

Playing with the new hill track

You can kind of see Reagan saying "Choo-choo" in this picture

Kennedy got to try out her bouncer for the first time today. Poor baby! While we know it wasn't as nice as being held by Grammy she did really well and I think she actually enjoyed the bouncer (for a while).

Playhouse

While she was here Grammy turned the box Reagan's little swingset came in into a playhouse. Thank you Grammy for making such a fun place to play!

Reagan declares herself "So cool" when she's wearing sunglasses

Reagan will hide inside the playhouse and ask "Where is Reagan?" then she pops out and answers "There she is!"

A first look at the progress being made

Peek-a-boo!

All done and Grammy is so much fun!!! :)

Santa

Reagan & Santa

Kennedy didn't get to visit Santa but she was okay with that because as her shirt says "Who needs Santa when I have Grandma?"

Sunday Fun

This is a southern girl's idea of "Lots of snow!" In all fairness to Reagan I guess this pile was a lot compared to the amount on the ground. Reagan also announced that it was "Very Cold!"

Daddy got Reagan started holding this watermelon. Grammy has helped since and even allowed her to carry it around the kitchen. Mommy is a bit concerned it's going to end up broken all over the kitchen floor but this doesn't appear to concern anyone else. lol :) In the meantime Reagan enjoys holding the watermelon and alternately saying "I love it!" or
"Big; heavy!"

Reagan has really been enjoying the advent calendar from Great Aunt Joan this year. We've been letting her find the right number and then place the ornament on the tree. Besides being fun this will be a great learning tool as we get to numbers Reagan doesn't yet recognize. Thanks Aunt Joan!

Welcome Baby Kennedy!!!

More pictures and news to come of our sweet baby girl later. We wanted to send a HUGE thanks to Aunt Kim and Uncle Nathan for keeping Reagan and to Grammy for staying with us! We couldn't haven't done it without you guys!!! :)

Watch Me Grow - Kennedy - 1 Week

I'm sure many of you remember that we charted Reagan's growth using a big yellow duck during her first year. We're going to do the same for Kennedy and captured her first duck picture this past weekend. We're also including Reagan's first duck picture for comparison along with an updated duck picture of her. Hope you enjoy these pictures of our growing girls!

Kennedy had her 1 week appointment yesterday and is doing well. She currently weighs 7lb 9oz so she isn't quite back to her birth weight. The doctor wasn't worried, however, as he said it can take up to two weeks for newborns to regain their birth weight.

Reagan - 19 Months - November 2008

Thank you again to Aunt Kim and Uncle Nathan for this big silly yellow duck! Thank you also to them for the cute outfit Kennedy is wearing in the picture above. Thank you to Grammy for the blue dress and heart stockings Reagan is wearing in her most recent duck picture.

Pictures with Pa

For those of you wondering if Pa really came to visit, here are some pictures of him with his girls. We didn't let him out from behind the camera very often but we were able to get a few quick pics! :) Thanks so much for flying up for Thanksgiving and being our photographer while you were here Pa! Quality Kennedy and Pa Time

Several of you have sent clothing for Kennedy to wear when she is older and we definitely appreciate that! The vest Reagan is wearing below was a gift from Ginger and Dale Ensor when she was born and she is just now able to wear. I think it is so cute!!!

Family

We feel so blessed to have such wonderful families and especially these two sweet little girls!

Thank you to Pa for taking such beautiful pictures!!!
