20 Months

I can't believe how big Brooklyn is she will be 2 in just four short months. I have been slacking big time on taking pictures recently. I feel like I need to start capturing these moments of how little she is because before I know it she will be in college and getting married. I wish she stayed little! She is at such a fun age where she is trying to talk and is very independent. She does keep me very busy though, she still loves to explore and gets in to everything. She is the pickiest eater I know and always wants candy or fries. She really has melt downs if I don't give her fries, she cried for 1 hr straight for fries one day and I had to run out and get her fries it was 9:00 at night. :) She is funny! She loves to help me clean the house and I enjoy the help. She is a really good big sister and just loves her little Kennedy. She always wants to hold and kiss her and laughs at every squeak that comes from her. I am so blessed to have my two little girls I love them so much :)

Kennedy Grace

Kennedy Grace was welcomed into our arms on 3/4/2011 at 12:16pm. She weighed 8lbs and was 20inches in length. After a long labor and delivery (38hrs) we are so glad to finally meet her.

Here I am just checked in to the hospital and huge!

Kennedy just minutes old

Brooklyn excited to be out and about

But didn't want anything to do with me or the baby. I tried to bribe her with toys but still only wanted her grandma.

Her she is showing off her Big Sister shirt

She loves her pacifier.

Here we are waiting for them to give us the ok to leave I was so ready to go home after being in the hospital for 4 days. All ready to go

Zoo

We have been trying to do something fun every Saturday as a family. A couple weeks ago we were able to go to the LA Zoo. Brooklyn had so much fun she walked pretty much the whole zoo, and didn't want to be in her stroller at all.

Brooklyn with her daddy we had just got there and she was a little nervous at first. She was a little scared of the animals at first then she warmed up.

Brooklyn and I. She kept looking back to make sure the Flamingos weren't going to come near her. Brooklyn pointing towards the elephants.

Brooklyn got her ears peirced!!!

We took Brooklyn to get her ears pierced. I was originally going to wait until she could ask for them so I can explain to her that it hurts and to make sure it is something that she wants, but then I was at the mall one day and I passed by Claire's so then I was like lets just get this over with, better for her to go through it now where she wont remember a thing then later when she will remember how bad it hurts. So of coarse I had to wait for John to get off of work and than later that night we went back to the mall.

Here is Brooklyn just got out of the car and so excited to be out of the house.

At Claire's getting all sugared up before anything happens.

She found some things that she wanted to hold on to. No we didn't buy them for her the staff was nice enough to let her go around the store and hold on to a few things.

First one done.

Next one done.

And right after just outside of Claire's.

She did so good I had to take her on the train that they have at the mall.
Here she is so excited to get on the train she is handing the lady her ticket.

waiting to depart

and off they go

Here she is the day after and she is one happy camper just got done eating a orange.

I just love this girl so much. She just looks so girly now with her earrings and has done really good and hasn't touched her ears at all.

Disney Trick or Treat

Last night we went to the Disneyland Trick or Treat. Even though it rained the first hour we got there and drizzled off and on through the night we still had so much fun. Brooklyn loved dressing up when she was all ready I showed her in the mirror and she started laughing at herself, it was so cute.

Here are a few before Disneyland Pictures
