3 Months-Kennedy Kate

Our sweet Kennedy Kate is growing so fast. She is such a JOY and almost bursts whenever you smile and talk to her. 

She is super smiley and loves to coo and gurgle. 

We don't know what we would do without her!

At three months she:

-is usually still getting up once around 3:00-4:00 for a bottle

-smiles and coos A LOT 

-is eating about 4 1/2 ounces about every 3 hours

-still loves hanging out on her play mat

-wearing 3 month clothing but some of the pjs are looking a little small

-wearing size 1 diapers

Playing Catch Up!

Since we are only days away from having a 3 month old and a 2 year old I figured I better hurry up and get their 2 month and 23 month posts done….but I'm going to be lazy and do one post!

Things have settled down a little I feel like and I'm actually feeling like we are establishing some sort of routine and life is a little predictable. Josh is finishing up getting his EMT-Advanced and been doing rotations at the hospital and now the ambulance. We are definitely ready for a "normal" schedule. The girls are both doing great and growing WAY too fast. I can't believe how much Hensley has grown up over the last month or two.

I guess in all the craziness I didn't get Hensley's picture with her giraffe this month so the next one will be when she is TWO!!!! But here are a few pictures throughout the month!

We have been going to the library about every two weeks and she absolutely LOVES it. 

She got to go with daddy one morning to see how much rain we had gotten. 

 Its NEVER a dull moment around Hensley!

Kennedy is the SMILIEST baby! I really don't remember Hensley being this smiley or chatty!!

Daddy and his girls!

This was actually on Kennedy's 2 month birthday…we were headed to the doctor then on to Dalhart!

More smiles

Sisterly love

Two month pics with the elephant!

Kennedy really is the smiliest baby---or at least compared to Hensley. She is also very chatty. 

At her 2 month appointment, she weighed 11 lbs 1 oz and was 23 3/4 inches long….she is 2 inches longer than Hensley at this point! We may have a TALL girl on our hands. 

She is usually gets up once a night to eat. 

She is already in 3 month clothes and was about a week before she was 2 months! 

Hensley is still LOVING being a big sister. She is super helpful and informs you pretty much of Kennedy's every move…down to what kind of face she is making. If she could love on her all day, she would. 

We are so blessed. 

Just a few comparisons….

I wanted to see some of the girls side by side to compare. 

I get that they look identical most of the time. I go back and forth between them looking just alike to nothing alike. 

I definitely see some resemblances but I think they look different, too.

22 Months---Only 2 months away from 2!!!

I may be a little prejudiced but I really have never met a funnier kid. She makes me laugh all (well almost all) day, every day. She is so smart and loving and a joy to be around (most of the time!) 

She is still in love with her sister and she really is a big help to me. I think her favorite sentence is "I hold her" and Kennedy is the first thing she asks about in the morning and after nap. She always wants to know where she is. I pray that they always love each other and are best friends. There truly is no friend like a sister. 

1 Month as a Family of Four

We are finally getting settled in to being a family of four. I'm not going to lie……that first week or two I didn't know how I would ever do it without my mom or mother-in-law to help! But slowly, it started to not be so stressful and we are getting into a routine! 

Kennedy Kate is the perfect fit to our family. Her big sister absolutely ADORES her! She is a wonderful baby and we are so blessed! 

--Had to get a picture of big sister, too so she wasn't left out :)

Absolutely in love with that little dimple

21 Months

I am a little late in posting this but I couldn't not post. 

Hensley turned 21 months old as a big sister! I'm pretty sure she was born to be a big sister. I couldn't imagine a better one. 

Thankfully we got settled in to our new home and routine before Kennedy arrived. Hensley started sleeping better and even though she was being shuffled around because of my doctors appointments she was doing really well. 

She LOVES her new sister and I am so proud of the little girl she is becoming. 

37+ Weeks

Well Baby Girl finally got a good report at the doctor on Monday. Her tummy was in the 15% up from the 8th percentile so we are still cooking!

Tomorrow Josh takes his final comprehensive test for Rookie Academy and has given me the okay to have her so I am ready to go---maybe tomorrow afternoon ;) 

We had a great 4th with some much needed time with Josh! Belly is definitely big and I am getting pretty uncomfortable but still have no reason to complain. We can not wait to meet our sweet baby!
