Happy St.Paddy's day!!

For the record, I still didn't get drunk for St.Paddy's day this year. Pooooor me.

Not that I'm biased...

Sangria and Sand = happiness

Kennedy is now 7 months old. I can't believe how fast time flies. She's still a complete angel. Sleeps through the night no problems and is generally a very happy little girl.

We just got back from a trip to visit Grammy in Florida. I think Kennedy was just happy not to have to put on a hat and mittens. She travelled really well - no problems with her ears. It was a long day of travelling but she was a trooper! And we were in the pool almost every day. Loves to swim!

Ed and I also had a really great afternoon/night out in South Beach . We've been pretty good about getting a baby sitter for events like Christmas parties, dinners with friends, etc.. but this was our first trip out just the two of us. We had a great day of cocktails and shopping followed by a nice quiet dinner. I must say it was really great! (FYI - I LOVE Sangria and sushi with my feet in sand).

Happy New Year!

So many updates since my last blog.
- Santa found us in Shediac
- Rolled over (from back to front)
- Got first tooth, immediately followed by a 2nd tooth!
- Started solid food - rice cereal
- Went to first swim lesson

My little girl is growing up!

Love the water!

Fun with food

Think she spits out more than she actually eats, but doesn't seem to mind it too much.

Christmas fun

Picture with Santa - love the animal print!
Opening Santa's stocking Christmas morning.

Ready for Santa

I love this time of year! Here's a picture of the family trip to Chester (the Christmas tree capital of the world - according to their sign). Went for a hike in the woods to chop down our tree (OK it was a tree farm, but it was huge and was just like a hike in the woods).

Only a few days left till Christmas. I'm almost done shopping. Just a few small things left. It helps a lot that I can go to the malls during the day and avoid the shopping madness this time of the year. I find the crowds in the evenings turn me into Scroodge. Especially if I'm trying to push a stroller!

Kennedy and all her friends

Can you spot the 'real' animal in this picture?

Kennedy's first snowfall

Good but not THAT good...

She's been keeping me pretty busy these days, so I haven't been very good with new posts. All is going great as Kennedy nears her 4-month birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

She's about 14lbs now and is sleeping from about 7pm - 11pm (when we wake her up to feed her) and then from 11pm - 6am. Probably at least 2-3 nights of the week she wakes up in the middle of the night still and needs a bit of attention, but she's getting really good at finding her thumb and just going back to sleep.

We had our first night out with a baby sitter (other than my mom). Went to see the new James Bond movie. Actually really liked the movie, however after tickets, snacks and babysitter fees it cost us $70. It was not THAT good. Oh well. It was good practice for me to leave her with a sitter and start to feel more comfortable leaving her. We have at least 2 Christmas parties coming up, so we've got the sitter lined up for those and I think I'll do just fine.

Happy Halloween!

Don't think Kennedy liked her costume very well, but I had fun dressing her up and torturing her.
