Photography and photoshop

Today I had the pleasure of learning about photography and photoshop with my friend Dawn. I am finally learning some things about my DSLR camera that I have had before Kennedy's arrival.  We took some pics of K (Who was a good model until it came time for her nap) and did some photoshopping. I came home with a lot of information and even a book on how to photoshop.  I am excited to learn how to take nice pics of K and capture her life as she grows, and learning a new skill along the way isn't bad either. I had a lot of fun while learning and we shared a lot of laughs in between pics trying to get K to smile. When daddy made his arrival it was huge smiles all around from K. I am very appreciative of the time Dawn spent on K's pics and all the teaching she did with me today!! Very excited for her next shoot and Bruisers too!! God has truly blessed us with a BEAUTIFUL and healthy baby!!

Sewing

I have found a new love... Sewing!! My friend Michelle was kind enough to let me borrow her sewing machine when I was pregnant so I could prove to Trav that I would use one. I started out sewing burp clothes and small things. So I got my sewing machine for my birthday and I have to admit it sat in the unopened box for about 4 months. I bought Kennedy the cutest A-line dress.  My Aunt Becky told me how easy they were to make so we decided to make some for Kennedy. I LOVE making them for her. She looks adorable in anything that she wears but these are so cute on her. Aunt B and I just finished our 5th dress for her. I do have to say each one we do they get cuter and cuter. I have also added car seat covers and boppy covers to my list of things I am able to sew :)

Napping in K's crib

After all the hard work we put into Kennedy's room you think she would love it... Wrong!! She does not like her crib and protests every second she has to be in it. This was the first time I had to show her "tough love". It was not easy but at the end of the day we were both happy. Everytime I thought she was sleeping I would sneak in there to see, and she would look up at me with bright blue eyes and a beautiful smile.  Here are a few pics of napping in her crib for the first time.

She finally gave up and went to sleep after about 1 hour of protest
