repeat offender

since cara was born it's been a hassle to burp her..she likes to harbor them for some reason UNTIL i start video taping her. take a look.





and this one was just cute, i think she's smiling and stuff in it..

4.5 months and growing..

when i brought cara home from the hospital, i kept telling myself, this must be a dream. there was no way i was the mother for this beautiful little creature. while i was pregnant i spent the entire 9 months dreading the labor. i read up on every scenario possible and scared myself daily, thinking about the labor. but i never thought past delivery. i imagined what she would look like the moment i saw her, but i never thought past leaving the hospital. i assumed since i helped watch cali when she was young, i knew what to do with babies. i couldn't have been more wrong. i remember the doctor handing cara off to chris, for him to hold her for the first time and he asks "how do i hold her?". i laughed at the time, but honestly, i had no idea how to hold a new born baby. and now 4 and half months later, i am in wonderment. how did we get this far? we brought her home and both looked at eachother like "what the heck do we do with this thing?". and every time i start feeling like an old pro, cara reminds me, I'M NOT. they start growing so fast and learning new things daily. she is currently around 26 inches long and almost 15 lbs. she's doubled in weight since birth and fits in boy clothes better than girls cause of her height..which makes complete sense, seeing as i'm so tall. her blue eyes are still blue and gorgeous at that. she's in a lull from teething, which started at 3 months. we are learning that cara likes to do things early. she's started pulling up her knees when playing on her tummy but isn't quite strong enough to hold her upper body up, so for now, she's not going to far. she LOVES playing with her little friends on her carseat, her doggy, her new blocks from Karen, her monkey rings and her octopus. i'm gonna get her a walker soon so she can explore more. she's already curious of the world and i can't wait to see her grow!

i am attaching a picture of her sleeping cause a.) it's cute and b.) well, it's just so cute!

hey good lookin'

so clearly i'm a proud mommy, but i know i'm prob biased when i say "i have the cutest baby ever!". so there's this website, cafemom.com, that i joined when i was pregnant and they have a group on there with photo contests. these are just fun photo contests where really you're just showing off your child's cute and quirky faces. so i join this group cause i like showing off my baby, and i enter her into a daily photo contest and wouldn't you know, SHE WON IT! so maybe the world agrees with me, or maybe just 50 moms do, but whatever, i'm a proud momma! here's the link, you may not get to see it if you're not a member, but if you're a mommy JOIN..it's fun.

i had a baby!

as i'm sure most already know, i became a mom to a beautiful, healthy baby girl named cara nicole kenny on october 11, 2007. my life as i knew it changed the instant i saw her little, puffy face (which thankfully for her, looks nothing like me). so i'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mom for a while and i thought, what better than track the first months/years of her life with pictures and videos since we have a lot of free time to take a lot of both. and i thought i would share these special moments with everyone because she has the tendency to make people smile!

cara is 4 months old now and learning how to make use of her limbs. this video will show you my future soccer player in action.
