Sorry It Has Been So Long

So we have had some requests for more and current pictures. It has been a while since we have posted some, so here are a couple more random pictures of Charlotte. I was holding her today, and looked at her and it hit me how much and how fast she is changing. I realized we have to make sure we keep taking lots and lots of pictures of her. For your viewing pleasure, Charlotte Raynes Kennedy.

(Bye Bye Everyone Thanks for Coming by)

Halloween Numero Uno!

Well, today Charlotte celebrated (as much as an exactly 4 week old can) her first of many Halloween's (which with her Mom being who she, all of them will be big deals). So we had a couple of different outfits for her to celebrate the Halloween holiday, Alison (Charlotte's Aunt) dropped off a couple of really cute Halloween Costumes that Charlotte got to try out, she was super happy to put them on. No, really, she was!! She tried on four different outfits and was super happy with all of them until the last one and then she started getting a little cranky because her Dad was taking so many pictures. So here are some pictures of the family doing our little celebration this year.

Well here is our first unofficial family portrait. My Mom took it during her visit here from Oregon. It was so good to have her here with us. She was a great help and we had so much fun having her here.

I know I could have done the whole red-eye reduction/fix, but I think it works in this photo, it pulls the whole red color and Halloween theme together well.

Yipee, it looks like my little girl likes her spicy food. :)

Just Daddy and Charlotte at home, with Charlotte wondering about the costume, but liking how warm it keeps her.

Look at me, I have wings.

Daddy's Little Pumpkin, what else can I say.
(A big thanks to Lois who got us this outfit!!)

Charlotte, letting us know that she is getting tired of the changes and the posing and the pictures, but doing in a cute way and in a cute outfit, or course.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE FROM THE KENNEDY FAMILY, HOPE TO BE BACK CELEBRATING WITH YOU NEXT YEAR!!

Just Some More Cute Pictures

Okay, so not anything big, no big new marks, except that everyday is still new. She is still under a month old, so I just decided to put up some more pictures, just a Dad showing off his amazingly cute little daughter. My Mom has been here for about a week know, and Charlotte loves her so much. She thinks her Grandma Kennedy is the most comfortable person in the world, no matter how upset, hungry, messy, or anything, her Grandma can put her to sleep, she just loves her so much!

So here are the pictures, just cute things that we see and grab the camera and this is what we got

Charlotte dead asleep on Grandma Kennedy, something she loves to do.

Sometimes we take so many pictures that she gets upset with her Dad and sometimes is just annoyed and hides like I am the paparazzi.

Okay, So this is Charlotte sitting up and showing how much of a big girl she is on the couch.

And this is her realizing that she is still just a baby.....TIMBER!!!!!

This is Charlotte hanging out in her bouncer that her Aunt Denise gave her, she really likes hanging out in it.

She loves to snuggle up to skin and to people, this is her getting comfortable on her Mom and being totally relaxed and posing for the camera....AND SLEEP. (She has to have her hands near her face whenever she is sleeping.)

One last one of Charlotte chillaxin' on her Grandma, a place that she loves to be.

The New Grandma Kennedy

Well, the 20th of October 2009 was a special day for us, and particularly for Charlotte. She got to meet her Grandma Kennedy for the first time ever (at least in this plane of existence). My Mom (Vickie Kennedy) flew out from Oregon to visit with us for a while. We are so happy to have her and we are so glad that she is here staying with us. So on thier very first day together we got to take some pictures of the two of them together. So here are a few of them.

Charlotte found a new person that loves her, so she is just checking her out.

Two Kennedy Ladies hanging out with each other, getting to know each other.

Just Smiling and being happy with each other.

Doing one of Charlotte's favorite things, Cuddling and getting a little bit of skin time. Look how happy she is to be with her Grandma Kennedy. She is so lucky because she has two great and amazing Grandmas (her Grandpas are both pretty great too)


And occasionally to pass the time Charlotte will challenge anyone around to a staring contest, this is one that she won against her Mom, she is the best one in the house at this, sometimes abnormally good. :)

Mr. Duckie

Here are some Bath Time Fun pictures!! I promised myself to never purposely embarrass my child to the point that they won't ever talk to me again, so these are rated PG pictures! No black mail material here!!



In these ones her umbilical cord still hadn't fallen off yet so we're still doing the whole sponge bath baby!!


She LOVES Baths! Not like her first one where she first showcased her now famous "squeaky toy" cry.


Yes, she still has a diaper on in these because she is a Ninja Pee-er. (see future posting for explanation)


She has this killer towel that is a duck, if you can't tell. It's actually bigger than the bath towels that Bryan and I use!! It makes you wonder what the people who made it were thinking? 200lb baby?!? Way to go Mr. Duckie!

I hope you enjoyed these Derek!! :)
