Kennedy loves sitting in her bumbo seat. The first time we set her in it. She was looking all around and was very impressed with herself, that she was sitting there by herself with no one holding her. She is on the verge of rolling over. Daddy works with her everyday. She is almost there. She can't seem to get that back leg over yet. I still swaddle her at night though. That will be coming to end soon. I can't swaddle her when she can completely roll over. I am starting to break her into having her arms loose while sleeping. She naps with her arms out (in the touchdown position) but they wake her up so much when she is asleep. If anyone has any advice on how to keep baby's from moving there arms so much while they sleep, pass it along. One loud noise or fidget and she is in that freeze positon with her hands up.

When daddy gets back from his coaches retreat next week. We will be moving Kennedy to her big girl bed. She is still sleeping in our room in her bassinett. It is breaking my heart to think of moving her into to her own room. Right now she is just an arms length away from me. Every little move in the middle of the night and I am up, going over to stick the paci in her mouth. I know moving her to her big girl bed is going to take some adjusting for me and for her.

KK goes to the doctor next week for her 4 month check up. I know, I can't believe it has been 4 months. She is growing so fast and is getting so big. As you can see in the photo below, she eating very well. And has lost her neck in the process. She has already out grown her baby bath. Mommy put her in the bumbo to take a bath tonight, but I don't think this is going to work for future baths. She can't sit up on her own yet, but I can't hold her while I am washing her. She is to slippery. Daddy ended up getting in the bath with her at the end to help mommy.

Kennedy loves bath time. (like her mommy) She kicks and splashes the water. I knew she was going to be a water baby. Mommy has to pull her fat rolls apart to make sure she is washing all her parts. Not like there is any dirt to get in there. Most days she just chills in the house. Her hair is coming in pretty thick these days. It looks like it is going to be very dark.


Daddy has had some great bonding time with Kennedy while he has been out for summer break. She will be starting school in 2 weeks when Daddy goes back to work. She will be attending Carrington Academy starting the first of August. It is a great private school located in Windemere. We toured all day cares around and this by far is the best we have seen. Some friends in our neighborhood have children that go there and have spoken so highly of the program. It will be good for her to have interaction with other children as well. Right now we really have been spoiling her while she has been home. Mommy does work from home and has a flexible schedule, so she won't have to go to school everyday all day.

We are getting Kennedy baptized in 2 weeks. So I will definatley be posting pictures of that. I hope she behaves when we are up at the alter. She is getting to the age where she is starting to get really upset when someone she doesn't know holds her. So I am sure it is going to go over very well, when a stranger she doesn't is holding her pouring water on her head. Lord help us! But it will be well worth it for her to become a child of God!
