December recap

Here are some photos of Kenzie since November:

baby smiles!!! <3

getting so much better at tummy time. She can hold her head up so well all the time with limited bobble head.

Kenzie's new favorite position- hanging over her daddy's leg.

enjoying the gingerbread house building with Kelly

look at those eyes!!

priceless moment that I missed. Mike was the only one home when she started laughing for the first time.

totally out

I can't get enough of baby snuggles now that I'm going back to work.

first christmas tree

I think she looks so much like her daddy here.

getting ready for a day out with Mom.

I cannot believe my little one is 11 weeks old today. 11 weeks doesn't seem like a lot of time but I also can't believe that only 11 weeks ago, my miracle was still inside of me and I was complaining that I didn't enjoy being pregnant. Everyday with her is something new and learning to be a parent has been more of a challenge than even my first year of teaching. Luckily I have a wonderful partner in Mike and with his help I know that I'm actually able to love this little girl and take care of her. Now if I could just take a breath and "offer Kenzie some grace and offer me some grace" (as my friend Amber reminded me). In addition to Mike, I've been so encouraged by positive reminders from friends (some expected and some unexpected).

I can't wait to see what she will do next!
