On The Go

I'm sure no one expects regular blog posts from me any more.  That is, if I still have any followers!  The past week has shown me that Kennedy is getting faster by the day and I'm getting slower by the day.  Last night it took me 40 minutes to get her into her pajamas, and we ended up doing so in the foyer.  Which was where I finally caught up to her, and was able to hold onto her for long enough. 

I've seen a number of articles over the past couple of weeks that bring tears to my eyes.  Tears of joy and happiness for these young individuals who are experiencing a dream come true.

I love to hear stories of dreams coming true, especially when those involved, just so happen to have an extra chromosome, like Kennedy. 

I did finally get some really great family photos from our trip last month, and I have some other adorable photos of Kennedy.  But I'm way too tired to upload them tonight.  Most people are exhausted because their baby keeps them up all night.  Not me.  I'm exhausted because we have this obnoxious bird that starts squawking loudly around 6am.  It's been over a week since I've had a decent night of sleep, and I'm definitely feeling the effects.  I promise, I'll try to get to the pictures earlier tomorrow.  In the mean time, here's a really cute video of miss Kennedy playing with her stage this afternoon!

Big Waves and Little Waves! *Video Included*

I know, I know.  I NEVER blog twice in the same day.  Heck, lately I have a hard enough time finding something to blog about once a day.  Let's just say I'm making up for the fact that I didn't blog yesterday.  But this is way to good not to share, RIGHT NOW.  I couldn't wait until tomorrow. 

I've been trying to teach Kennedy to wave all week.  She's completely in love with her hands, so I knew she would love waving, once she got it down.  And she does.  She's so proud of herself.  I was reading to her, and snuggling her in bed tonight, and she just kept waving at me.  I clap and tell her how proud I am, then she squeals and smiles.  She is SO proud of herself. 

There's nothing more I can say.  The video shows it all!

Today has been a day for firsts I guess.  I'm pretty sure that our days of pureed food are coming to an end.  Kennedy has been eating more and more food, and just isn't into the purees as much as she used to be.  Her new favorite is hummus.  I'm pretty sure that at 8 months old I was NOT eating hummus.  Kennedy has some expensive taste, but hopefully she will keep it up!  

Here's a few more pictures from today:

Look Mom!  I can move in my walker.  But only backwards, and I'll only do it when I'm mad.

Admiring all of her cuteness in the mirror!

  

Excuse me mom?  What's up with this thing on my head?
