Welcome Samantha Francis Kenny!

Hey! I currently have two sleeping babies and instead of sleeping myself, I decided to update my blog so I could introduce Sammy Kenny to the blog world! I have enjoyed so much looking back on Cara's early months, as has she, and can't wait to document Sammy's. I hope blogs save forever so I can show them this when they get old.

Samantha Francis Kenny was born on October 15, 2009 at 8:05 PM. I have an entire family of libras and will most likely mess up the dates of their births at some point or another. Samantha was 7 lb. 11 oz. and 21 inches. But when we went for her 3 day check up, she was 7 lb. 4 oz. and 19 3/4 inches. For the baby book we will just record what the hospital declared. Ounces shmounces. We did NOT have a name for our new baby, the moment she arrived, mainly because my husband isn't a "planner", but Samantha was a front runner and when we saw her, it fit. Francis is Chris' Dad's middle name and we both felt that would be a good name to keep in the family. "Sammy" is my doing..Cara just says it too cute! So I have my two little baby bears and couldn't be happier to be home with them.

Sammy is adjusting well to our family. She hasn't quite gotten used to the smooshing, poking and kissing of her big sister, but she will!

I have posted most every pic I have on facebook, but will post some here too! I need to get some videos goin.

Enjoy!

Bungee Jumping

Fall is HERE!

This is my most favorite time of year! Going outside and feeling 70 degree weather just makes me happy!

Happy birthday to Chris and my Dad!!

Cara is going to be 2 in FIVE days!! This morning we called Daddy to sing Happy Birthday to him and when we hung up she said "Cara's birthday". I'd say she's a little bit excited about it. We are having a party at the park, and let's cross our fingers this rainy weather in GA will let up. Cara seems to be right on track for a two year old. She is forming sentences, sometimes 4 and 5 word sentences, and has even started to understand when I say "no" I mean "no". She now responds with "k" and most of the time continues what she's doing, but I'm excited she's acknowledging the word "no", it's progress. Her favorite programming is the good night show on Sprout, and she gets to watch a little before she heads to bed. We have submitted a birthday card that we're hoping they will put on the good night show on her birthday, so if you remember to catch Sprout that night, you might see little Cara bear. Cara is also slightly obsessed with Halloween. Probably a little of my doing, but it makes going to the store really exciting cause we get to go through the Halloween section. We went to a pumpkin festival this past weekend, that I have some pictures from. Cara also did some bungee jumping at the fair this past weekend that I'm going to try and post a video of. It is soooo funny to see!

As for baby #2, still hanging out! By hanging out I mean stuffed inside me, constantly trying to stretch and laying on my lower spine! I'm officially uncomfortably pregnant, but trying to enjoy my last couple of weeks of having one child. And a little bit of sleep. I'm down to weekly doctor appointments and not working anymore, so Cara gets to join me and listen to the baby's heart beat. She seems pretty excited about it..but we'll see when we bring that little bundle home. I think she will prove to be a great big sister though, I'm excited!

Okay now for the media updates..enjoy!!
