Woo Hoo!

Just a quick note to finally say, Kennedy did it! She finally is able to fit into her 3 months outfits. We have so many that have been big, but this morning we were able to fit into one! So now her wardrobe is fantastic! So many things to choose from. The outfits fit her in length, but not in width.

I had my 6 week checkup today with Dr. David and everything is fantastic. I am in full recovery from surgery and also after having Kennedy. I can start my obsession with exercise now and losing the remainder of my baby weight. I am so tired of being swollen (as I still have some fluid retained). You can just see it in the pictures. Keep your fingers crossed and lets hope the weight comes off rather quickly.

With Love,
Jason, Jen and Kennedy
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

"Meet the GodParents"

On December 20th at 2:00, we celebrated the Christening of Kennedy. So allow me to introduce her Godparents, Audrey and Thomas Moore.


For those of you that know, Audrey is my cousin from Scotland and Thomas is her husband. Audrey and I have always been extremely close and I couldn't imagine Kennedy growing up without her in our lives. Thomas is just as great! He loves Kennedy as if she was his own! What more could one ask for. So here is a picture of the 3 of them at Kennedy's Christening.


After the Christening, we had a small reception at my mom's house. Kennedy received such lovely presents and we thank everyone for coming. It was very small, intimate, and lovely. Kennedy did so well during the christening ceremony, she didn't even scream. Maybe it was Uncle Thomas' (Godfather) magic touch.



Jason and I have painted the new house, and Jason (with the help of Thomas) is finishing putting in the wood floor. We will be celebrating Kennedy's first Christmas Eve at Nana Jurey's house and enjoying Christmas day at the house on Woodbine. Jason, Kennedy and I will be hosting Christmas Dinner for both the Jurey's, the Gardner's and the Moore's (Audrey and Thomas) and we can't wait. Some of you may be wondering when on earth we will be moving into the "Milton House". We will begin our move the day after Christmas and can't wait. We were hoping it would have been sooner, but I didn't want Jason to overwork himself. I am sure Thomas thought he was coming for a vacation! Boy was he wrong! Oh well, at least he is enjoying his baby duty!



I was back at work last Friday (12/21) and Audrey babysat while Thomas helped with the flooring. Mom has been sick, so her baby time has been limited. She keeps telling me she is having major Kennedy withdrawals, even though we have stayed at few nights at her house, because she isn't able to hold Kennedy! I am sure when she is better, hell would have to freeze over before she lets her go.
We hope you all enjoy your Christmas and New Year. Please be careful, and we will be posting a ton of pictures as this next week is another busy one filled with fabulous "FIRST" experiences for wee Kennedy.
With Love,
Jason, Jen and Kennedy

How hard is it....

I have not been very good at keeping up with the blog. I could blame sweet baby Kennedy, the holiday season, or just that I have been too busy, but the truth is I haven't given it much thought. I have been so focused on making Kennedy's birth announcements, photoshopping her "First Photos" and trying to put together my order for my christmas cards and christmas presents from Kennedy. I couldn't imagine doing this while working! Kennedy is growing like a weed. I was always one that felt like when other parents gave you baby advice, that I didn't want to hear it or it would be different for me. However, they are all true. The most common thing I heard was cherish every moment because your baby will grow up so fast. Boy is it true! I feel like I can't even remember when Kennedy was born, but I do, but it just feels that way! We are closing on the house in Milton on Friday. Hopefully we will be moved in by Christmas.
Kennedy's Christening invitations are going to be mailed out soon. We are excited about Audrey and Thomas (Kennedy's Godparents) coming in on Monday, December 15th. Kennedy can't wait to be spoiled more than she already is! There are no pictures to post today, but I will be posting some soon. She is getting her picture taken with Santa this weekend (which I will post) and her birth announcement (which I will post, after they are mailed out).

With Love,
Jason, Jen and Kennedy
