You love your baths and are pretty proud of yourself that you know how to pull the drain up.
You LOVE to watch Baby Einstein and you will walk up to the TV or computer and point and start dancing which is Kennedy language means "put the show on"

Kennedy 51 Weeks
Where has the time gone? I can't believe I am one week away from Kennedy's birthday. I can remember so vividly when we moved back to San Diego and I was about 9 month pregnant. I remember planning this last week like it was yesterday where I had last minute house things to get settled, Christmas decorations to get up before you came, and one last nice relaxing meal at Thanksgiving before you made your debut. Everything went accordingly to plan and you waited until it was time to come and I was able to enjoy that last week and get everything done that I needed to. The minute you came though I fell in love with you and every day my love grows even more. You amaze me with your wit, your determination, smile, laughter, and sass. You want to do everything that your sister does. Yesterday I was watching you play outside and it's amazing to see how you can navigate down and around things that you used to fall on. You are such a little snuggly little girl and every day you lose more of your babyness and are starting to look so much like a little girl.

Your sister is learning to be a good big sister but it's a learning curve and there are times she is rough with you but you sure know how to fight back:) In fact Avery told me today that she decided that she didn't want to have a little sister anymore. We had to have a little talk about how mean that way and she looked at me and said "mom, it's just that I don't know how to be a good big sister". Needless to say she loves you more than she realizes and watching the two of you grow closer brings so much joy to my life.
You bring so much joy to our lives and I can't wait to continue to make memories as a family of 4 (5 counting Sophey)!

Kennedy 50 Weeks
Kennedy still has decided that she does not want to talk even though from a syllable standpoint, she can say a few words but when you ask her to say them, she won't. What she can do now is shake her head no so she can not communicate no to us which is nice. She is becoming faster, smarter, stronger, and more of a little toddler each and every day. I really don't see much baby left in her. One thing that has changed is she has become quite the little snuggler. She just melts right into you when you pick her up and she loves to stay that way and snuggle. Those are the moments that I am going to miss when they are gone but I am hoping this snuggly phase sticks around for awhile.
Just like Avery, she is very into shoes. When we get home and take off her shoes, she wants them back on and she always wants to put on Avery's shoes and walk around in them and to be honest, she is pretty good at it. I also can't remember the last time she woke up in the middle of the night but she does wake up pretty early. Ben has morning duty for awhile since I did it for almost a year but he is pretty good at getting her to go back to sleep. I on the other hand am not so thank goodness for daddies:)
She is still taking two naps and in bed by 8. She is really good in the car which is really nice but I think we will turn her around pretty soon so she can start to watch shows with Avery. Her little legs look so cramped back there! We love her more and more each day and love that spitfire personality of hers; I wouldn't want it any other way!

Kennedy 49 Weeks
This week we celebrated Kennedys first Halloween. She really liked the process of going up and taking candy and she spent most of the time trying to chew through the wrappers which half the time she did... those little dagger teeth. Somehow I missed an entire tooth coming in so now she has 3 bottom teeth and the 4 top teeth. I have been traveling so much for work so I am sure that I just missed it somehow. Thanks goodness for Daddy, Nana, and Papa who hold down the fort so well when I am gone!
We went up to Julian for the weekend and had a great time. I really don't know the last time that I was there but it is so pretty! We rented a house so the total count in the house was 8 adults and 7 kids all ranging from 3 weeks to almost 4. Needless to say it was a packed house but we had a good time! Once again Kennedy didn't sleep too well but that's ok, we got to spend some time in a queen size bed again. That is becoming a trend when we travel!
Her schedule is the same.. two naps and bed by 8. She is doing pretty good at night and goes to sleep pretty easy now. She wakes up every so often and we have to get her back to sleep but overall, not so bad!
Watching the dynamics between Kennedy and Avery is pretty cute. I know that Kennedy will always be able to hold her own and that almost 3 years will never be an issue because she does her best to keep up with her even now. She can get in an out of her toy cars on her own, climb the stairs, go in an out of the doors. There isn't much she can't do or at least try to do. You literally can't turn around for a second or else she is gone. She understands everything that you say but is still holding out on her first word... always keeping us on our toes!

Kennedy 48 Weeks
My sweet little snuggly baby... She sure has turned into quite the snuggler! I am not sure where this came from but I am loving every minute of it. She gives the best hugs and kisses and can be such a sweetie, and then two seconds later she is off like a turbo little monster! She pretty much understands everything that we say to her but she has yet to clearly say a word. Everything is pretty much "NA". I am pretty sure that at some point she will just start saying quite a few words at one time!
We went to visit our family in Las Vegas this week. It was the first time that we drove to Vegas with Kennedy and to be honest she did great. We left both times at her bedtime and she pretty much slept the whole way. Once we got there she didn't want to go to sleep and actually didn't sleep too well while we were there but it was a new place and a big room. Needless to say we spent some quality time as a family in a queen sized bed.. Wasn't the coziest but made for nice snuggles! We had a great time while there and the cousins got to spend some quality time together. I am sure that we will be back quite often and pretty soon we will turn Kennedy around so car rides will be much easier!

Her schedule is still the same; two naps at 10 and 3 and bed by 8. I officially have stopped breastfeeding which is really nice but I do miss our time. It's nice to feel like myself again and Kennedy has been such a trooper going right to milk. Now we just need to get her off the bottle and warming up her milk... baby steps right?
