Well, this was without Kennedy, but we went to a baby shower for baby boy Whitworth! I can't wait for Leanna and Marcus to join us on this crazy ride called parenthood :) I'm so happy for them!
Lots of playing on our mat...
Before our 6 month appointment, I wondered how big Kennedy was. When I compared her to her cousins, it's safe to say she's not quite as big as them ;)
Getting ready for football season!
Eating lots of food:
Spaghetti and apple slices :)
Sometimes we aren't sure about food....
Playing with Maya, who we just so happened to match - not on purpose!
Does she look more like Nelson now?
Mmmmm avocado and squash.
Sucking that pork chop dry.
Hahaha strawberries!
I cannot stand the cuteness!
Josh, Kimberly, and Madeline evacuated Houston during Hurricane Harvey, so we got breakfast one morning so the babies could meet.
More football season ready (she has a few Texas clothes, but I guess I just don't take pictures of her in them haha).
Nelson's parents came into town one weekend, so we went to the neighborhood one last time before the end of summer. Kennedy had SO much more fun than she has in the past! She splashed herself and us. I'm sad there's no more weekends for pool time until next year, but it was a fun glimpse into next summer :)
Before they left, we had brunch at Kerby Lane Cafe.
More random pictures - playing and our first try at yogurt!
Ben had to be in Austin for work, so Lindsay and the boys came down, too! Unfortunately it was when things were crazy busy at work, but they all got their Kennedy time in - just no Aunt Holly time. I think they were ok with that ;) They watched morning cartoons....
Walked to the park near Mimi's house...
Got snuggles while everyone else napped...
And played with the big kid toys!
They hung out another day while I went in to the office and did other big kid things :)
Awesome like Auntie :)
Probably one of the hardest pictures ever.
I love his little arm around her <3
Nelson's sister and Rudy came to town, too, so we had to show everyone how awesome our other auntie is!
Kennedy also had her first big trip! Our flight to Scottsdale left at 6:50am on Friday. I woke Kennedy up at 4:30am and fed her, and then we headed out. It was perfect because she stayed awake driving to the airport, parking, going through security, and waiting at the gate. I had it all planned out in my head, "I'll feed her during take-off to help with her ears, and she'll fall asleep eating for sure. It's a 2 hour flight, so she should be pretty tired and sleep the whole way!" Well optimism got the best of me. She did fall asleep eating during take-off, but I had to uncross my legs about 45 minutes in and it woke her up... and she stayed up! Needless to say, it made for a very long flight.
This is a series I call: Tired Mom.
Luckily one of our rooms had a sort of mini-bar with a sink, and it was perfect for baths.
Breakfast as Snooze!
We went to the pool on Saturday to take a break - and show off our adorable bathing suit. Someone actually stopped me in the hallway a couple days later to tell me that my baby's bathing suit was adorable :)
Since Kennedy didn't adjust to the time change (2 hours), she was up by 5:00am. Since I was going to bed after 10:00pm and getting up with her in the middle of the night, Nelson was so wonderful and would take her walking to the shopping center across the street. Here she is one morning, Mitratech's littlest fan :)
She did love my badge
This was one of those mornings she woke extra early and then fell asleep on their walk ;)
We tried to get a family pic before we left, but you can see how well that went.
When we got home, it was so nice to have a day of just hanging out and not checking email ONCE!
This is that love of tags I was talking about:
Not sure what dinner was besides broccoli and banana, but she clearly liked it!
We've also gotten better with the sippy cup.
We had lunch with my former co-worker Marcie and Kennedy was an absolute DOLL.
Some things never change:
Kennedy is sitting up so well now, we got rid of the baby tub and she's now bathing like a big girl!
Pre-baby weekends were spent laying around and watching football. Now they're spent playing at home and going to the park!
And there you have it. All caught up! Until I fall behind again this month ;)
