Happy 1st Birthday Kennedy!

Today's post is all about Kennedy! We can't believe our little Kenna is one year old! Here are some things you may not know about Kennedy:

Nicknames: Ken, Kenders, Kenna, babydoll

Favorite person: Mommy, then Maddie

Favorite color: pink (Maddie decided that since all of Ken's stuff is pink)

Favorite game: Peek-a-boo (if you haven't seen her video back in 2007, check it out!)

Favorite things to do: take baths, look out the window, dance (bob head & shoulders up & down as soon as she hears a beat!), climb up stairs, read books, snuggle with mommy, empty purses/bags & drawers/cupboards, unwrap the toilet paper

Least favorite things to do: lie still for a diaper change, drop Maddie off at preschool

Favorite mischievous act: try to sneak her hand in the toilet water when mom isn't looking and shake her head "no-no" when she is caught

Why do little babies have to grow up so fast?! The one-year mark is bittersweet for me because it means my baby isn't such a little baby anymore! It is the time to reminisce and look back on how she has grown this past year. Since we started the blog a while after she was born, I wanted to post some pictures from when she was a newborn.

The night before Kennedy was born.
(Wow, I was big!)

So tiny in her carseat.

Maddie had too much excitement, and fell asleep at the dinner table
shortly after we brought Kennedy home from the hospital!

Happy Birthday, Kennedy! What a beautiful little girl. She has a lot in common with Lincoln--same favorites! (maybe something to do with their being the same age? :)
