Long Over Due

It's been so long since I've blogged! It's been a crazy past few months and I have a lot of catching up to do. I started teaching school again, which has kept me insanely busy and besides that, our computer died! That was such a tramatic experience. It's now fixed, but I ended up losing EVERYTHING including pictures of Kennedi. It's taken me forever to put things back on and re-load everything. Our computer is in Kennedi's room since we live in a small apartment and every time I have have a few minutes to do computer work, she's asleep.

School is going well and we're surviving, but I'm so ready for this year to be over and to just be a full-time mom. I have the day off because of parent-teacher conference and I love staying home with Kennedi. She's growing up so much, I can't believe it! Here's a quick update on what we've been up to since July.

We took a trip to Bear Lake with my family for the week, and I took a ton of pictures, but those ended up being the ones I lost from the computer crash. Luckily the rest of my family took a ton of pictures too. We had a great time and the water was beautiful! I never realized how big Bear Lake was. It felt like we were at the ocean.

(I don't know how to turn it)

(She was so happy when she found out it was food!)

Kennedi started eating solid foods. Now she's a pro at it and she loves veggies most of all.

Kennedi learned how to sleep without her swaddle blanket. That was the best day ever! I thought she'd never grow out of being swaddled and now she sleeps better than ever! She can even put her own pacifier in at night. That is wonderful!

Kennedi's been rolling all over the place and then she learned how to scoot. It only took 2 days and she fully learned how to crawl! At just 6 1/2 months, our baby has grown up and now she's into everything! It's such a fun stage, but I was a little sad when I had to baby-proof the house.

Kennedi learned how to give kisses and it's the sweetest thing! She knows what it is and when you ask for kisses, she gives them freely! It's so precious!

On Friday, October 31, 2008, Kennedi turned into a ladybug! She looked so adorable! We didn't really "trick-or-treat" for Halloween because she's too young, but we visited my parents and my Grandma and Grandpa Raymond. She had fun playing with the candy wrappers, but it will be a long time before she finds out what's inside the wrapper!

Isn't she cute!

Kennedi found the laundry basket and wanted to get in it. She's much cuter than laundry-don't you think?

Kennedi loves to help mom-especially when she's doing crafts! Kennedi wanted to play with my hot glue gun, scissors and pins. Luckily, I was able to distract her with some ribbon. What a sweetie!
