June 2014

Kennedy has finally decided to start talking... and boy is it cute.  She says more words just about every day but still doesn't really put them together.  I am in no hurry though because miss Aves continues to be quite the chatterbox and talk more and more with each day... if that is even possible.

The weather continues to be amazing!  We went to Boomers and had quite an afternoon although Kennedy was a bit scared on some of the rides... which is no like her.

Avery had two dance recitals and Kennedy got to go to both.  She did one at night and one at the fair so the day that she performed at the fair, we all went and spent the day at the fair.  She did great in both of them!

Abagee came to visit for the week and we had a great time.  We all went down and did a Gondola ride and Kennedy didn't get the shaft... and she really did a great job.  It was also the first time that she said "Abagee" and Jan was ECSTATIC to say the least!

Avery also decided that she likes to take pics on her own so here are a few of her own pics...  Thank goodness for cropping!

Avery and Kennedy are getting pretty good at posing together...

Kennedy is becoming quite the chatterbox and parrot.  She is getting really good at some words and truly understands everything that you say.  She still takes one nap around 1 and goes to bed at 8 and wakes up between 6-7.  She is in size 5 diapers but growing like string bean so I am sure that she will be going to size 6 soon.  She is pretty much in 2T and now that Uncle Grant and Aunt Christi are having a baby girl, we are giving just about everything to them.  She still loves her blankies and bottles and shoves her blankies in the crevices of her neck when going to bed.  She rarely likes to cuddle when its bed time unless I beg her.   Her hair is so blonde and growing every day and she hates it in her eyes.  She hates when she tries to lay on my shoulder and my hair is in her way and has to move it out of her way.  She is quite particular and has a bit of OCD... just like her mamma:)  She has really been getting into toy cars and loves to run them down the slide and put them in the water table.  Her and Avery love to throw all the cushions on the floor and make a big jumping pile.  These two are pretty cute together and the older Kennedy gets and is able to communicate, the better they get along.  We are loving these summer months and the nice weather that it brings!

May 2014

I can't believe it is almost Summer time.  The weather has been beautiful and we have been enjoying the outdoors.  The girls want to be outside from the minute the wake up and the alternate between the swing, the water table, their little house, or their outside toys.  Kennedy continues to try to do anything that Avery does and has yet to have a major fall... thanks goodness!

We have gone to the beach a few times and been able to use some outside water toys at our house.

One of the latest outside toys is a remote control car that Kennedy is pretty much obsessed with.  Aunt Boo got it for Molly to chase but Kennedy has become equally obsessed!

Daddy and Avery went on a little date to Disneyland for the day... just a little one on one time.

We have continued to have quite a few play dates.  Avery and went to the Flower Gardens with the Parker girls and we see the Ring girls quite a bit.

Kennedy is beginning to get into dress up a bit... Can't really be surprised since that is just about the only thing that Avery does!

The girls continue to have their moments of playing nice but I think it is getting  better.  Kennedy still won't say much but we know she can talk, just still chooses not to:)  Shoes are just about her favorite thing still and she can get them on and off pretty well on her own.  If I open the drawer where all of Avery's old shoes are, she can sit them and put them on and off and find the matching pairs pretty well.  The things we do to entertain an 18 month old:)

Aunt Boo likes to cook with the girls and they do "practice birthdays!"

Aunt Boo took Avery to Johns Incredible Pizza and she did "incredible" with the tickets and got pretty lucky!

With the warm weather, we got the slip n slide out... had a great time!

Aunt Boo came over with a big pool one day... just for kicks! That's how she rolls!

Kennedy continues to amaze, make us laugh, and be quite the kick in the pants!
