Kennedy is 1 year old!

My sweet Kennedy, you are 1-year-old! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I brought you home looking like this...

And now, you look like this...

Here's what you are up to at 1-year!

*You are WALKING! You started about 2 weeks before your birthday. Now you refuse to do anything else. We joke that you must have a spring in your bottom because if you fall down, you pop right back up!

*You are SUCH a picky eater compared to your sister. I generally have luck as long as it has no color. Foods with color are a battle.

*You are wearing 18 month clothes, size 3/4 shoes, and size 3 diapers.

*You are still such a good sleeper.

*You are constantly congested. We had hoped you'd be healthier since you got tubes...you're being difficult.

*You are much more independent. You will play on your own and you don't want to be held all of the time. Your teachers at daycare say they are seeing the same things.

*You almost have 2 teeth! They have finally broken through, but they are really hard to see if you're not looking for them.

*You say "Momma", "Daddy", "Uh oh", "Dog", "Cat", "That", "Bottle", "Eyes", "Sissy", and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head.

*You are transitioning to soy milk very well. We're fixing to try taking away the bottle and using only cups. Bet that doesn't go so well. :)

*You love to go for walks. I can't wait until the weather warms up...you will be my walking partner for sure.

*You are still a Momma's girl. But you separate well, especially at school.

*You think your sister and Daddy are funny (smart girl).

*You went after your birthday cake like you had never had food in your life. It was hilarious! I laughed until I cried.

*Your favorite toy is still your drum. And you like to sing...a lot! Whenever there is music on, you dance. I love it!

You have been such a joy the first year of your life and I can't wait to experience the next one! We love you more each and every day!
