Kennedy at 20 months



Kennedy is such a sweet heart
She is thoughtful and cautious and grateful
Probably the word I hear her say most is "thank you" in the sweetest voice imaginable
Even when she doesn't want you to do something, like change her diaper or fix her hair, she will scream and fight it, but after it's all over will say "Thank you Mommy"  I mean, it's adorable!!!

She loves taking care of her babies, dancing, singing, Sesame Street, doggies (but not too close), helping, bring Daddy his hat and shoes, playing with Mommy's make-up, and chasing sissy

Some of the words we hear most often are:
sissy, bubble, teeth, ball, shoe (and she loves shoes, dress up shoes, anyone's shoes!  so cute), cup, eat, jump, fish, hat, shoo-wee, milk, and all our family members
She knows many of her body parts - eyes, nose, cheek, ear, body, knee, and elbow (which she calls her "elmo"  he he he)
She knows lots of animal sounds as well, but most often we hear "neigh" and it's also the sweetest sound!

Kennedy is such an amazing gift and we are so thankful for her!!!


Just trying out the potty


Sassy and cool

Aww, such a cute face!  LOVE.







Kennedy always has bed-head when I get her up in the mornings
This was one of the best, so I had to take pictures!

Isn't she beautiful?!?!

Natalie at 20 months

Our sweet Natalie brings such joy to our lives!
She loves jumping, Elmo, reading books, laughing, snuggling, running, and figuring out her shapes
She talks sooo much that I can't even put all her words on here - but some we hear most often are:
eat, sissy, milk, doggie, shoo-wee (for stinky feet or dirty diaper), Elmo, truck, jump, and she often talks about Emme, Nana, Papa, Mimi, and Grandad
She knows the animal sounds for dog, cat, duck, cow, horse, sheep, and lion
She can identify almost all of the Sesame Street characters
She still sucks her thumb
She always takes off her shoes in the car
She sleeps in a big girl bed and is finally doing good at night (much to our relief!)

She is such a precious, beautiful gift!!!


Eating grapes with Daddy





The smile.

LOVE IT





And I saved the best for last -

My heart...

Kennedy likes to rock rock


Who could resist the classic rocking chairs outside of Cracker Barrel?
Ken really enjoyed sitting in the chairs to "rock rock"







Runnin thru the sprinkler!!!



For over a month, we had hot, hot temperatures, 90 degrees and above for a long time
So what else do you do with your kids but have them run through the sprinkler?!?!?!
Natalie loved it and Kennedy didn't want to get near it  :-)



LOVE.





Love that sweet little tongue sticking out!










Ken sat on the steps holding the bubbles
