Kenna's 1st Easter!

One of the best things about being the grown up is that you can do silly things to your kids when they are young and they seem to colude in the silliness with you. You take the pictures so that when they are older you can show them you can say, "Awwh, look how cute you were!" Cute seems to be the term we use to describe just about everything with kids.

Kenna is such a tolerant kid, lucky for us! She seems to enjoy wearing bunny ears and funny hats and has great bed head every morning (she's really fidgity and likes to rub her head against the bumpers in her crib). Most importantly, she's a very happy kid!

We spent Easter morning enjoying a brunch over at out neighbors' Julie and Jarrod. They have a four year old son and a new born little girl. There were other friends and neighbors there with their children, including three of us who had the token bunny ears for the day. Cute! Great food and great friends . . . nice way to start out the morning. The latter part of the day, we spent enjoying the living room floor and talking with my friend Sylvia who came by for a visit. Kenna is getting really proficient (yes, I used that word) at rolling around all by herself. Often times, I'll leave her with her toys and come back a few moments later to find her 2-3 feet from where she started and often tunred the other way. She looks up at me and smiles as if to say, "I wasn't going far, mom, just over here" or "I really wasn't up to anything."

We also drove down the day prior to the holiday to visit my parents in the big KY. It was so great for them to see the kid and have some time together! They both could not believe how big she is now (likely creeping up on 23 lbs - and yes, somehow I feel my arms should look bigger from holding her.) and really enjoyed how interactive she is now. It's too bad the visit had to be so brief, but it was nice to see them.

Well, enjoy the pictures (to the side and below), and I hope to hear from you all soon!
