Adrienne - 4-5 months old!

As always Adrienne has been growing like crazy! She is now just over 5 months old and is about 18 pounds. She is constantly smiling and {her new thing} squealing! She looooves her voice. She can be quite loud when she's having fun, but it never fails to make us laugh.

 Cozy on a cold day! I love me those cheeks!!

 She has started to play around with noises and her voice. The picture below is her making fart noises. A lot of times she'll be in her crib in the mornings and I know she's awake because I'll hear a "thhpptbbttthhh" through the baby monitor :)

 Logan playing her the song he wrote her when we were away for a week. It was a tough week on daddy!

 Loving her bedtime stories. She loves to try to eat her bible pages.

 Big girl sitting up! 

 Jess adores Andi, so they play together a lot! :)

 My big 5 month old!

As you can see from the pictures she is such a joyful little girl. She only complains when she's hungry or tired, or of course when she gets scared. Every morning when she wakes up she'll come hang out in mom and dad's bed and we'll visit and she'll play with us before Logan goes to work. She really loves that I think, because we didn't do that this morning before church and she was whining in her bed because she was lonely! 

She is VERY much a people person. She loves all people! She's only played strange a few times and it seems to be men with facial hair that she's not sure about. Other than that she hasn't really had much issues with playing strange. 

Generally the consensus is she still looks mostly like me (Kari) but I still see Logan in her for sure, especially that one picture of her in her jumperoo.

We love our Andi girl! She is such a joy and a delight and I'm so proud to be her mother. 

Winter is coming..

It's that time of year again. We are bracing ourselves for winter as it begins to really cool off. We've had a few freezes already and my plants out front are dying, so it's a sure sign that snow is soon to follow.
We've been pretty busy the last couple of months. Things are starting to slow down for me, but starting to pick up for Logan, so it'll still be a busy little bit for our family! Logan is enjoying his job at Toyota and doing a wonderful job there. They really like him! He even convinced his best friend to apply for a job there and now they are working together again. They had previously worked with each other at Peace Windows where they met, so it's fun for them to be able to "relive" old times!
Adrienne is growing like a weed! I had her weighed earlier this week and she is 14 pounds and 5 oz. They didn't take her lenght measurement as it was just a drop in weigh in, so i'm not sure how long she is, but she is getting so big. It's bittersweet.

She continues to be such a ray of sunshine! She is an incredibly happy girl and you don't have to work hard to get a smile out of her! To get her to laugh on the other hand you have to work fairly hard. She seems to get the giggles before bedtime so we like to play with her then and then have our story time to calm her down again :)

So far she still looks majority like me although "I" am seeing more and more of Logan. He doesn't believe me, so we'll leave it at that :) She has her chubbiness from him though as I wasn't really ever a chubby baby.

 We had her dedicated on September 7th along with the other 5 babies that were born so far this year

 My mom always puts her pants on her head when she changed her diapers :)

Her favorite toy is her Jumperoo. Every day i put her in there and she just goes to town jumping away! She has a little elf dance that she does from foot to foot when she's in it. It's pretty adorable :)

We are getting excited for the holidays! We are still not sure what we are going to do as this is Logan's first year at Toyota and we aren't sure how the holidays work around that time. We may go to Regina which would be great! If we aren't able to get much time off we will most likely stay here or go to Edmonton, so either way we're hoping to see family! It would be our first christmas with family that we've ever had since we've been married, so it would be lovely! 

I hope this post finds you all well! Until next time! 

Growing like crazy!

Our little Andi girl will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. Time has completely flown by and I can't believe how much she has changed!

 She is a very happy little girl and only fusses when she actually needs something. Some of her favorite things are her play mat (she loves the owls and coos at smiles at them constantly), her bunnies that hang over her play pen, hanging out with mom and dad and singing.

At her last appointment she was over 10 pounds and I am not sure how long she was, I have it written down from the doctors office.  

She loves to play in the morning. 6 - 6:30 am is play time :) so I'll often find myself swaddling her and laying her in her playpen and she will coo and talk to her bunnies for quite awhile, eventually falling asleep again so I can get a bit more sleep!

She's pretty good at entertaining herself for the most part but gets bored of things after about 15 - 20 minutes so I'll usually let her play on her play mat after eating and then she'll want to chat with me when she gets bored and fussy!

                                      

 Mom and Dad Kennedy and Maryn and Janessa came for a visit for a couple of weeks in July so it was nice to get to visit with them! Andi had a good time! It was a great help to me as I took advantage of the time to catch up on sleep and shower :)

She is our precious girl and we love her to bits. We can't remember what our life was like before she was born and it seems like we have so much more love in our lives with her here. She gets tons of hugs and kisses from her mom and dad, that is for sure :)

 I went to Edmonton about 3 weeks ago because my sister had a baby girl the day before Andi was born so we wanted to meet each other's girls! It was so fun and it's amazing at how different the two are! As dark as Hailey is, Andi is fair :) It was so fun and I can't wait for these 2 sweet hearts to grow up together. They will be best friends!

 Andi and Hailey, so totally different with looks :)

Sweet Andi

Our sweet little Adrienne Janelle has arrived! She was born on June 17th at 5:40 am after I had been in labour for almost 24 hours. She weighed 7 pounds and 12 ounces and was 20.25 inches long! We are so completely in love with her!

 She was jaundiced so I had her getting some Sun therapy :)

 This is one of my favorite pics so far

 Her bracelet she got from her cousin Cohen

 

 Labour day! :)

 Brand New!

 First Bath

 Oh Herro!

 Tummy time!

She has been such a huge blessing and we love her to bits! She is a great eater and sleeper, so I haven't been feeling exhausted yet, although I have fallen asleep while feeding her a few times at 3 in the morning :) She is a happy and content little girl, and rarely fusses or whines! She is starting to really focus and listen intently to people talking to her now and today she was making friends with her stuffed kitty and a blanket! :) It's been such a joy to watch her grow so far and I am already sad at how much she has changed in the past 2 weeks!  We love our little Andi girl!
