I'm Lookin' For A Baby Bumble Bee....

She even has bumble bee flip flops! Too cute!

Notice her "bumble bee wings."

Our New Babysitter: Winnie

 

Perhaps you have seen this glazed-over look on your child's face before?

How about this one?

Spoiler Alert: Some of you may look down on me for this one. All I can say in my defense is: Have you ever tried making dinner with a one-year old latched onto your leg while handling a frying pan with hot oil and chicken stir fry?

Yes..I figure it is better that she kill off some brain cells than have her accident-prone mother cook with her near the oven.

I am guilty of using a free babysitter that I shall call "Winnie."

What EVERY mother should know about distilled vinegar!

There are times when the food on your child can easily become........

..........the food on your carpet. Yep folks...that has blueberries in it.

Which is why I now use distilled vinegar to clean carpet stains.

How to drink a green smoothie "Kennedy-Style"

Step 1: When you can no longer sip green drink from your sippy cup, remove the lid.

Step 2: Chug the remaining green drink down. I repeat the word: chug!

Step 3: Gulp it down until there is NOTHING left. Don't breathe. Don't blink. Just Gulp!

Creativity

A long time ago I was artistic and creative. Then I became a banker. Not that banking stifles your ability to have fun, but it definitely brought out the more serious side of my personality. I admittedly became boring and dull. I forgot my love of designing, creating, building, and crafting. 

Yesterday, I undertook a project. I am painting two pictures for Kennedy's room. They will match images on her baby blanket. I am SO excited about this project! I haven't done something like this for about five or six years. 

My soapbox moment: Don't forget WHO you are as you busily live your life while at work or at home. Take some time to re-acquaint yourself with you. :)  

She's Growing Up Too Fast!

Some of Kennedy's favorite things to do: 

1. Climb into a basket (especially if mom told her not to). 
2. Climb into her boat for a leisurely ride across the carpet. 
3. Eating (WOW can this kid eat! I'm willing to bet she eats more than us). 
4. Reading the newspaper (You don't believe me? I've got a picture to prove it!)

Here are some pic's!

I was kind of slow at getting the food to her mouth, but she kept it open like that for a good 10 seconds!

My new favorite spot to play....the basket.

Arrgg Matey! Captain Kennedy of the Little Yellow Red Boat.
