Weekend away for a Baby Shower

This last weekend Kennedy, my Aunt Mary and I went on a road trip to Wis Rapids on Friday and hung out with family for the night. Then we join with my mom and Grandma to ride down to Racine WI for Amy's Baby shower. The trip down was fun with us girls and Kennedy slept most of the way. Amy got lots of good stuff for her baby shower and I think Kennedy wanted it all. It was a good weekend but long car rides for Kennedy. I have to say she did pretty good.

The Friday we left she had her 15 month appointment. She weight in at 20lb 10oz. She hasn't really gained any weight since her 12 month appointment. That is pretty normal for her age. She is in the 16th percentile for weight. 64 percentile for height and about 40 percentile for her head. She is growing fast and the doctor said she is doing very well and you would never guess that she was 6 weeks early. She has grown up so much in the last month I can't believe it. The things she catches on to blows my mind. One of my favorites is that anything with a handle or strap she tries to carry as a purse but most of them are too long for her so she puts her hand up over her head to carry the purse so she doesn't drag it on the floor. Her other favorite thing to do is play in the entry way and try and put Mommy and Daddy's shoes one and she does one of these days she is going to hurt her self but she is so happy playing there so I let her. Today I caught her trying to put Daddy's Army boots as well as his army hat, too cute.

We are now in our new house and trying to get settled in. Kennedy is doing amazing with the transition. The first two nights she had a hard time but now she goes right down. Now Ranger on the other hand is having lots of problems with the transitition and maybe is because he was at my parents house for a month and then moved to a new home. He will get used to it soon. Kennedy missed him while he was gone and now they are loving every minute they have to play together or should I say Kennedy to play with Ranger and Ranger to ignore Kennedy.

4th of July

Kennedy loved the water. She would have stayed in there all day if she could.


The 4th of July weekend we went to my Uncle Dan and Aunt Gwen's cabin for the weekend. We put our tent up and went camping for the first time with Kennedy. She loved being outside all the time. She had fun with all of the kids and climbing on anything and everything she could see. The lawn chair was her favorite. She did very well sleeping in the tent and her naps worked out pretty well she just slept in her stroller.

The night of the fireworks we sat in my parents screen tent as the bugs were very bad but Kennedy did so good as she pointed to them and said ohhh, ahhhhh.

We had a blast that weekend and can't wait to go back very soon.
