Memorial Day weekend

We went to Hardy, AR for Memorial day weekend so that Kenzie could meet my dad's side of the family. Her great grandpa just ate her up!! They got along just fine. He took us all out for a boat ride on the big lake behind their house. Kenzie wore a life jacket of course. She looked like a little turtle but didn't seem to mind it as long as she was laying on her back. Sitting up in it made her cheeks spill out over the top!! Someone gave us this adorable outfit when we were in Linden last week. She didn't like the hat sliding down over her eyes so her Nana sewed an elastic band in as a chin strap. Nana to the rescue! Her great uncle Steve decided she's a keeper.

Linden, TN

We went to Linden a couple of weeks ago so that Kenzie could meet her daddy's side of the family! I tried to get a picture of her with everyone, but hopefully I can get copies from other people to round out the group. We had a great time, and Ace seemed to like the creek pretty well. It won't be long before Kenzie takes her turn in the creek!

Katie's visit

Sorry it took me so long to get these on here! My cousin Katie (Kenzie's 2nd cousin?) came to visit us for a few days from Omaha/Kearney Nebraska! We picked her up bright and early from the airport (Kenzie was so good for me!)on Wednesday then went shopping for a little while. Thursday she kept Kenzie while I went to the dentist. We went to Ripley Saturday for an hour or so to see our grandmother (Kenzie's GREAT grandmother!). She's the first great grandchild on my mom's side!! I'm going to try to post more than 5 pictures because they're all so good (Katie's a great photographer) so we'll see what happens.

(That's Bear and Oreo....Aunt Kathie's dogs, they were very curious about Kenzie!)

First Family Photo!

We had these made when Kenzie was 7 weeks old (4-25-2007) and FINALLY got them back. The one with the flowers is my favorite!

All Smiles part 2

Ok, you'll just have to zoom in on the full body shot to get a close up of her face, my computer wouldn't let me upload the closer shot for some reason. She loves her baths and is enjoying her pack n play tremendously!

All Smiles

As some of you know, our computer is out of commission for the next 2-4 weeks or so. Thanks to Lindsay I may be able to still post pics though. (Thank you so much!!) I wanted to post a recap of her recent 2 month check up though. She got her first round of shots and did so well! Of course she had the initial wail (about the third shot she was like "Hey! That hurts!" but by the time she got a cry out, they were done!) but calmed down quickly and snuggled up to mommy. She's now 13 lbs. 3 oz and 23 inches long. She's in the 85 or better percentile but Dr. Higginbotham says she'll level out, then grow, then level out, etc. so she won't be this baby giant all the time. haha She's perfectly healthy. Her big belly button is due to an umbilical hernia, but that will close up over time. 10-20% of newborns have it. It doesn't hurt her a bit, just looks funny. She's started smiling over the past week or so (she's almost 10 weeks old now) and we've caught a few of them with the camera. Last night we gave her a bath and she was practically laughing! I'll get some recent pics posted hopefully this afternoon, promise!! Now that she's had her first round of shots we can start traveling without worrying as much about people spreading germs/viruses via kisses and hugs. haha

Back to work :(

Sadly my posts may not be as regular as they have been. I started back to work yesterday. She's done great at the sitter's. I've actually done better than I thought I would. I was pretty upset sunday night, but monday went smoothly. I only called to check on her once! But I gotta tell ya, 5 o'clock took FOREVER to get here! Here's a few pictures from this weekend. We took her to Bellevue for the first time! She did pretty well, just got the hiccups towards the end of class and hungry right before the invitation. Isn't she adorable?! My Aunt Kim came the sunday before to visit and see Kenzie. She had no problem snuggling with her great aunt!
