Grandma Talbot

My great grandmother, Vivian Talbot, passed away on Friday, September 21, 2007. We will miss her but are grateful to have known her and for her long life of 90 years. I'm glad I got to see her a few months ago to get a five generation picture for little Kennedy. We know Grandma Talbot is at peace now and with other loved ones who have already passed on.

Obituary

Firefighter Maddie

Maddie went on her first fieldtrip yesterday with her preschool class. They are learning about the letter "F" and visited the firestation. She had lots of fun and loves wearing her firefighter hat while pulling her dalmation in tow. She says she wants to be a "firefighter girl" when she is bigger.

Taco Girls

Yesterday, Maddie decided to roll Kennedy up in her playmat like a taco. Then Maddie ran to get a blanket to roll herself up too.

Four Month Checkup

Kennedy had her four month check-up yesterday. She weighs 15 pounds 5 ounces (which is the 85th percentile) and is 26 inches long (95%). Her head is in the 75th percentile. So, overall, she is a healthy, big girl. Luckily she has no health concerns since in the last week we have discovered Maddie has a severe walnut allergy as well as a skin disease called psoriasis.

Below, Dr. Maddie is giving Kennedy a check-up herself. Having poked and prodded Kennedy all over, Dr. Maddie concurs with Dr. Memmott's clean bill of health.


Kennedy enjoys her first solid food, rice cereal. Yum, yum!

First Day of School

Maddie started preschool last week. She loves it, mom appreciates the break, and Kennedy enjoys having mom all to herself.

Kennedy's Month-In-Review

Since we've been busy remodeling our kitchen, starting Aaron's graduate school, and preparing Madelyn for preschool this past month, here are some catch-up pictures.

Twice now I have found Kennedy holding on to the side of her cradle & the bumper pad in her sleep.


We introduced Kennedy to her exersaucer this last week, and she seems to enjoy it. Maddie loves to spin her baby sister around and around in circles until I catch her and give her a time out.


Kennedy's absolutely favorite baby item is her sling. She hardly makes a peep when she is in it, and I love having her close to me while having my hands free. We've been using it more and more often these days, and when we're out in public, people can't help but smile when they see us.

Kennedy has rolled over three times this past week, from stomach to back each time.
