I should warn you that the camera is in Kennedy's room; where she's sound asleep. So there won't be any pictures in this post...I have a TON to share...but that will have to wait. Sorry! I have only one picture (that was already on this computer because I had uploaded it to facebook!)...this is Kennedy before Game 7 of the Vancouver Canucks vs. Chicago Blackhawks series (for my own future reference, this was Round 1 -- we're now going into Round 3 BABY -- woo hoo!).
Isn't she just the cutest thing!? I know, I know...I'm her mom. But seriously!? Last night, we were at the pub to watch the Canucks game (which they won -- beating the Nashville Predators in 6...again, that's for my own future reference!)...and a couple commented on how adorable her tiny little jersey was (she was, of course, decked out in her Canucks gear!)...and the woman said "Not all babies are cute, but yours is absolutely gorgeous!". Insert picture of me beaming proudly! I limited my response to "thanks" (not, "I know, isn't she!?"...must try to be humble!). ;)
Updates...
(1) Kennedy is a rolling machine! I think she's only a few weeks away from crawling (or some iteration thereof)...she gets her little feet under her and gets most of her body in the air...she just needs to get that coordinated with her upper body, and she'll be on her way! It's crazy how quickly things are changing now. One day she was rolling the odd time...but only from back to front (as she ha somehow forgotten to roll from front to back) and the next, she was rolling all over the place! She rarely lays still anymore!
(2) She's also sitting fairly well. Not perfect, of course...there are tumbles (but she doesn't seem to mind falling, so that's good!)...but today she managed to sit for a good 5 minutes or so without falling! I even managed to get a video of it (though of course, she fell at the end of the clip...whoops!). I'll upload that ASAP. The only time she really falls is when she's focussed on chewing her hands or when she does her little head bob trick (more on that later).
(3) Kennedy got to meet her Uncle James. He's back from the Philippines, and has been able to visit her a few times. They definitely hit it off right away! James taught her a head bob/shake thing that she now does a TON. She likes to make people laugh or smile, and that seems to get a good reaction, so it's her new "go to" move! I'll have to get it on video one of these days...trouble is that while she's a total ham for the camera, she is oddly shy around the video camera...it's weird. Hopefully she gets used to it soon!
(4) Had my first Mothers' Day. Got a full night's sleep (yay!), then up and off to swimming lessons (where Kennedy successfully did her first water immersion...twice!). After swimming, we gave Kennedy a quick bath to get the chlorine off (turns out I was wrong about the pool being ozonated...it's full of stinky chlorine...oh well!). Then I was a cooking machine! We had my parents and James and his girlfriend Danielle over for brunch. I made banana sticky buns (with and without raisins), strawberry and pineapple fruit salad, chile dusted home fries and eggs benedict (with ham, sauteed mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes). A very tasty breakfast (if I do say so myself)...but not exactly a relaxing start to my very first Mothers' Day!? This was my mom's last Mothers' Day before my parents move to California though, so it was something that I wanted to do. Next year, I'm sleeping in! :) Prof Man had hockey in the afternoon, so Kennedy and I had a nice afternoon nap (right before she fell asleep, she rolled onto her side, looked at me a smiled...it was like she knew it was Mothers' Day...it was the most perfect moment!).
(5) Still only two teeth, but they're really starting to show now! So cute!
(6) Kennedy has started on solids. Just rice cereal right now. I was going to move on to a vegetable, but she has her 6-month photo session in a couple of days, so I don't want to take any chances that she's get a rash or something as a reaction to a new food.
I'm sure there's a ton more, but I can't think of anything right now. I'll update more soon...next time with pictures (and hopefully some video).
