New Year , New Goals

Hey guys! Kennedy really has been doing great lately. She has been eating one to two jars of food a day by mouth. Signing new words, it seems like everyday, but probably more like one new one a week. One of my goals for Keni last year was to be sitting unassisted for a period of time. She accomplished that so we are moving on to bigger and better things. I am hoping to have her more mobile this year. If that means crawling or maybe cruising the furniture by herself or, who knows, maybe walking! I don't care which, I am just wanting her to be more independent. People say "awww the baby stage is too short!" Well, this momma has had her share of the baby stage and she is ready to see it go bye-bye. So, we have a lot of practice and crying (such a stubborn girl!) ahead of us, but I think she will be doing at least one of those things by this Christmas. I want to thank everyone for the gifts they sent for my girls this year, they couldn't have been more blessed.

Cookies..... Mmmmmm...

These are some pictures of Kennedy decorating Christmas cookies for the first time. She really didn't care about the decorations much, all she wanted was to feel the red icing. She loved giving me a bite then her a lick. It was so fun and cute. Thanks to Aunt Tammy and Kyla for letting us join in on the fun.

It's been a while.....

Kennedy seems to growing up more and more everyday. She is playing more, signing more, and having more attitude! LOL. She is the light of my life and I really feel so lucky to have her. ~~~ Keni went to her very first dentist appt. last week were she told that Dr., "Up yours, you are not sticking your fingers in my mouth!" ;) ... But the Dr. thought Keni's mouth looked great and she was on track with teeth development so far. She had her first cleaning with a big girl tooth brush and she didn't mind that part to much. Kennedy has had a very light load of Dr. appts. lately (I never thought the day would come when I could write that!). Kennedy has a GI appt. later this month, but after that doesn't have one 'til FEBRUARY. WOO HOO! Keni also saw ENT which decided that her left ear is still too small to put a tube in. They also said that they will attempt to open her nasal passages next summer. Very Exciting ! ~~ Well the Kulas house is in full swing getting ready for Christmas. Momma here is doing most of her Christmas shopping online and loving it! Between grandma's , nana's and Tammy's (LOL) the girls will be set this year!!! I can't wait to see what Santa brings! I am hoping to get a video posted soon of Kennedy signing some words, it is so cute. I hope everyone near and far has a great Holiday season. We want to thank everyone that has shown their support either by sending good thoughts or taking time out of your busy lives to help us. Kennedy has come SO far since last Christmas and we could not have done it without the help and support of our friends and family.

Location:MUSC

Nana and Papa sleep over & Disney

We just got back from a fun filled trip to Disney World for Joselain's 9th Birthday! We went camping in Disney for four fabulous days. While we were enjoying some much needed time with Mickey Mouse, Kennedy stayed at Nana's for the week. I will say it was hard to leave my little miss for that long but I knew she was in good hands staying with her grandparents. I can't say how grateful I am to have such a wonderful family and In-Laws to help us out. I am glad that I married into such a giving and loving family. Thanks Nana, Papa, and uncle Dustin for taking care of our girl so we could have some much needed Joselain time. I felt when we got back that Kennedy had grown up so much in those five days. Keni was signing shoes and running around in her walker like a race car driver and she was not doing any of those things when we left! That girl amazes me everyday with something new. Now though, her attitude is starting to show a lot more often these days. I think she is catching onto the word "NO" pretty well. LOL. Kennedy is having a sleep study tonight at MUSC with Nana (again thanks!) and hopefully we will hear some news soon on what they find. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving !
