My baby is 1!!!

Kennon turned one on Saturday! I can't believe it... he is getting so big! We had his birthday party in Orlando. We had a chance to eat cupcakes, open presents and play in the pool. Kennon had a great time with his cousins and was very excited about his new big boy toys. We also reached a couple of milestones this weekend... no milk before bed (from me or otherwise-took a little convincing), NO SWADDLE!!! to sleep, car seat turned around to face forward(which led to laughs and screams of glee), and a little taste of egg (not very much appreciated). Weaning is almost complete with only the morning feeding left to drop, so we are almost there! Anyway, we had a blast and a relaxing weekend. Can't wait to leave work and help him play with his new toys!!! Enjoy the photos of his big day!

Playgroup birthday boy...

So we had a playgroup yesterday to celebrate Kennon's upcoming birthday!!! Pretty much just playing and a little cake. This was Kennon's first time eating cake and icing and he was a big fan... Here are some pictures of my adorable boy!

Guy Harvey buddies...

Ansley, Carver and Kennon wanted a photo op to show off their Guy Harvey shirts together. Unfortunately Kennon spent most of the time trying to kiss or hug Ansley and she was scratched in the process! But the pictures turned out cute anyway!

Happy Fisherman...

So Kennon was really happy this morning even though he had me up at 5am!!! His sleep is definitely getting better, but we have had a rough couple of nights. I just keep telling myself that he will become a good sleeper some day! Anyway, he was so happy, I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of him in his new Guy Harvey shirt (gift from Grandbee and Granddad). And Kennon has added "hot" (ot) and "tree" (tee) to his repertoire.

Pumpkins...

Yesterday, we went to the pumpkin patch with Trevor, Katey and Ellison. It was ridiculously hot, but fun anyway. Here are a few pictures from our day.

Playgroup at the park...

We had playgroup at the park this week. It was definitely a new experience with Kennon walking. He was very upset after realizing that walking on mulch isn't quite as easy as it looks. He would walk a few steps, fall forward, whine while looking at the dirt on his hands, and then start trucking along again. He was also climbing the steps on the playset and loving it. He is still a super-serious swinger... no smiles, just watching the action with an occasional point. Anyway, trips to the park are becoming much more fun for us... Here are some pictures of our adventure.

By the way, Kennon has been drinking cow's milk for a week now and has said a couple of words... bird (bir), cup (up) and dog (dah). And he is still saying banana (na-na). He is such a big boy now!!!

Love...

For those of you planning baby #2, do you ever worry that you can't possibly love the second one as much as the first??? I can't imagine...

Cousins...

Kennon also had play time with Ellison, Grandbee and Granddad this weekend. He is finally getting to the age where they can actually play together... All we were missing was cousin Noah...
