Dino Museum...yea!!!...

My friend Jen and I took the kids to the Dino Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It's been quite a while since we've taken the kids there. It was so nice to get out of the house and Bridger was super excited. However, he acted like he was scared for some of it...not sure why, but overall, he loved it! It's kind of fun because Jen just had a baby in October, so we each have a boy and a girl that are close enough in age. Jen's little Nathan, who is almost 2, was so excited to see Bridger...it was so cute! It was a fun day and outings like this will help keep me sane...lol!

Cute Kenna...

I had to post some more pics of our adorable little Kenna. I cannot believe she is nearly 8 weeks already! She is starting to not look so much like a "newborn". She is a good little baby. I cannot complain too much about how she does as far as being on a bit of a routine...it's not entirely predictable as far as time, but the pattern is mostly the same. She sleeps fairly well in her cradle, finishes her last feeding around 11 or 11:30, wakes up to eat once around 3:30 or 4, and then is awake for her next feeding between 7 or 8...not too bad for a 7 week old. I do have to admit that I cannot wait for that day that I get a continuous 8 hours of sleep! Bridger is super protective of her and just loves her so much! It's so cute! Anyway, there are a few random things, mostly so I remember them!

Kenna's attempts at smiling!...

As I mentioned previously, Kenna has been smiling a little bit! It's so cute and it just melts your heart when she does it. The other day I went to get her up from a nap, and said "Hello Kenna", she looked up at me and smiled...so so cute! She's smiling a little more often, but it is still not super consistent. I got a couple of pictures of her attempts at smiling. I could not get the full on smile, because she would turn her head or smile too quickly...soon I will have a better picture of it I am sure! I also included just some other cute pics I snapped of her at that same time, and one of Kenna and Bridger together. I love having two kids...even though it is a lot of work! They are both so fun and so adorable! ...Some pics are blurry...but that's what you get when the baby is on my lap and Bridger wants to "help"...

Funny little Bridger...

Okay, here are some pics of Bridger watching a Sesame Street Podcast on the iPod...it's just so funny to me to think about the differences in technology that my kids will grow up with compared to what I had growing up...it's definitely changed quite a bit! Anyway, he really loves to listen to the iPod...but we need to get earbuds or earphones that work better for him, they always fall out!

Bridger is so funny...he says the funniest things. So, I had to post a couple of things he's said lately so that I can remember them...

*I was in the basement, doing some laundry. He comes downstairs to me, shows me a little road sign that goes to his cars and said, "I have a sign that says 'I accidentally stopped my show and need it turned on again.'" So funny...he apparently changed the channel and couldn't figure out how to get his show back on.

*We had Cafe Rio a week ago, and there was a mint from there sitting on our table. I told Bridger he could have it when he was all done eating. Bridger says to me, "Mom, the mint is crying." I asked him why, and he said, "Because it wants me to eat it." He then turned to the mint and said, "It's okay mint, don't cry. I'm coming, I'll eat you soon, I'm almost done!"

*He was watching Little Einsteins, which is a show that uses music a lot. After watching Little Einsteins, he said, "I am going to drive my car allegro!" You know your child watches Little Einsteins perhaps a little too much when he says that!

6 weeks old...

I just can't believe how quickly time goes! Kenna is already 6 weeks old! She is such a little cutie and is such a girl! I love that even her little cry sounds like a girl! She's been smiling off and on for the past week and is doing so more often. I am sure that within the next week or two she will be smiling all the time...it's so cute! Hopefully I can get a pic of it soon! These pictures aren't super fab but she wasn't too happy at this point...she was a bit tired, so I took them quick. Oh and the outfit she is wearing is the one we brought her home from the hospital in. It was huge on her, we could barely keep it on her...it definitely fits her much better now.
