What we've been up to...

As you can see, we have been pretty busy lately! This little girl makes sure of that. I have to be honest though...it is so much fun!! Kennedy is always moving or smiling or doing something incredibly adorable. She definitely keeps us on our toes. I can't believe she is a few days shy of three months. Where did that go? Maybe she was busy making us happy and being a huge blessing to our lives, or creating sweet moments that I will never forget. I love her so much. It's fun to watch her grow but at the same time I want her to stay this small and sweet forever. She already has such a personality. I'm a little nervous for when she becomes mobile. She is the most wiggly thing I have ever seen. I'm almost positive she will not stop moving once she starts. She already keeps lifting herself out of her bath tub! Anyway, life is awesome. You would think that having a baby would suppress my baby fever for a little bit...nope! It just made it worse. She is too perfect not to want more. LOTS more!

The Puj Tub Review

So I am an official product tester for the Puj Tub. We tried it out for the first time yesterday and I love it. It folds together very easily- I even tried it one handed. At first I was a little disappointed that it was too small to fit in our kitchen sink, but it turned out that using the bathroom sink was much better. I liked how it snugly fit into the sink and it cradles the baby so if they move around (which they do) they wont fall out over the side. Another thing I like about it is that because its kind of a seat, the water pools in the bottom and that keeps the baby warm, like a real bath. There are little slits in the side that allows that water to spill out so it keeps the water at a safe level. Another bonus about this tub is that it hangs flat to dry, so you can store it pretty much anywhere, and its easy to clean. I highly recommend this to new moms. This was the fist bath that my one- month old baby girl hasn't cried! Check out the Puj Tub for yourself at the new web site exclusively for baby bath tubs!

Her First Thanksgiving!

Kennedy had her first Thanksgiving this year. She started off with a smile (the middle picture) and was passed through loving hands all day. She got to see her Grandmas, who both couldn't wait to get their hands on her. She also got to see two of her great Grandmas, which I think is awesome they can be a part of her life. We celebrated by eating with the Holmes family, then by eating with the Hettingers. It was a really fun day, I think it may have been my favorite Thanksgiving so far. It was really nice walking into my parents house because Dejah and Julie spent the afternoon decorating it for dinner. It looked great and really made a difference. I am so thankful for everything- for a wonderful husband, a beautiful baby, a loving family, having the gospel in my life, and the daily spiritual experiences I have that constantly remind me of how much our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to be happy. To my family, my whole family (both sides and everyone)- we love you all!

One week old!

...Already and she is so darn cute! We are having so much fun with this little girl, even though it still doesn't seem real that she is really ours!

She's home!

Kennedy Layne Holmes was born on Nov 3rd at 9:44 pm. 7lbs 6oz and 20in long, healthy and as well behaved as can be. Seeing her come into this world was an amazing thing, and I have gained a greater appreciation for what it takes for a woman to take part in bringing a life into the world. here are some photos if you havent already seen the ones posted by other family members.
