Kenzie is 3 months.

Our smiley little girl is 3 months old today.  Where does the time go?  She has grown so much the past 3 months and is turning into a happy, fun little baby.  She is very smiley as long as she is rested, fed, and dry.  She still absolutely loves to watch Landon and Kadence play and loves when they play with her.  Kenzie has become very aware of being left and lets you know she isn't happy when you walk away from her.  She has started to grab at toys and bring them to her mouth.  She recently found her hands and stares at them and puts them in her mouth all the time!  She usually tries to fit her entire fist in her mouth and then gets very mad when she gags!  Her neck is very strong and she does well with tummy time.  She has started to roll from her tummy to her back more and more.  She has also started to really enjoy bath time (as long as the bathroom and water are warm) and kicks and splashes her legs around.  She still remains very inconsistent with her sleeping.  Some nights she will sleep from about 8ish to 5, other nights she will be up 3 times and stay up for quite some time.  I just really treasure the nights she sleeps well!  What a sweet baby God has blessed us with!

Oh the things they say...

Kadence has always been such a chatty little girl.  She started talking very early and has not stopped for a break since.  She has such a loud voice (like her Daddy and Aunt Kristy) and it can be heard clearly from quite a distance away.  She always cracks me up with the things that she says and I should really be writing more of them down.

The other night we were watching the Super Nanny for just a few minutes before they went to bed.  I don't regularly like to watch the show, but on occasion it makes me feel better about our family.  The day after we had watched the show Landon and Kadence were fighting and I had disciplined them and Kadence said, "Mommy, the Super Nanny needs to come to our house."  I couldn't help but laugh!  It was very funny and sort of true!  She has since then repeated it a couple times, usually appropriately.  Love  her and her big personality so much!

Love the Paci.

Finally!  I have been trying to get Kenzie to take a pacifier since she was born.  Being sort of a fussy baby, I knew this would be a way for her to self soothe a little bit.  This past week she is finally taking it and liking it A LOT!  I am hoping this means we will have more nights filled with less awakening!  

Pat a cake.

I was cleaning up the kitchen one evening when I was able to see this wonderful act.  I heard giggles and goo's coming from Kenzie.  I turned and watched quietly as Landon sang "Pat a Cake" to her and she was loving life getting all of her big brother's attention.  It was so adorable!  Such a good boy!

Buds.

Landon had his first Valentine's Day party at preschool.  He had 3 special Valentine's for his teachers and was so cute giving them to each of them.  When he came home from school excited with his box full of Valentines and candy, he brought them to the table to look at them all.  He immediately (and all on his own) gave Kadence all of the princess and "girly" Valentine cards and then shared his candy with her.  Landon is growing up and is such a caring boy.  Love him so much!

Think Spring!

We've had some awesome weather here the past few days with temps in the 50's and lots of sunshine!  A lot of our snow has melted and it has everyone thinking spring!  I know this is just going to be a tease because it will cool down soon and I'm sure we'll get some more snow, but we are going to enjoy it while it's here!  We bundled Kenzie up and went for a little family walk.

Kenzie's first ride in the stroller.  She liked it!  Also her first view of the world outside since her face was uncovered.  She was in awe looking around and into the sky!

Landon and Kadence had a blast with all the water.  They splashed threw all of the puddles and were very wet.

So much fun to be outside!  I can't wait for more days like these and even warmer!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love to my sweet Valentine!

"The best thing about me is you."

Happy Valentine's Day!  I am blessed to have the four best Valentine's a girl could ask for!  Today the kids and I are hanging out while Ry is at clinical and then studying.  I am so excited for him as he only has 6 days of clinicals left, yes only 6!!  The two of us actually get to go out for a movie tonight and I am so excited to have some alone time with my love.  What a great day!
