3 months already?!

Today is Kennedi's 3 month "birthday". I can't believe she's been with us 3 months already! Time really does fly, no matter how much you try to slow it down, or how many pictures you take! Tomorrow is my nephew's 2nd birthday..before I know it K will be turning 2. Until then, we will just be trying to make as many memories as we can. Kids really do make life go by faster. Unbelievable.

Tonight was our 2nd night with cereal. The first night K didn't really get much cereal in. She got so frustrated with that spoon, she wore herself out and ended up passing out before she even finished her bottle. We tried mixing a little in her bottle, which i was skeptical of, due to way to much paranoid reading on the internet & in books. I had always thought, sure, put in in the bottle..until I started reading. More and more articles said that babies could choke on cereal in the bottle, so me, being the paranoid mom I am, wanted to stay away from that completely! We ended up trying it, and K was also frustrated with that. It made the milk too thick (duh) and it kept clogging up in the nipple. So, tonight we mixed up some cereal in a bowl, and K seemed to be much more patient tonight. She really seemed to be getting the hang of it!

A Burley/bike update: The Burley Bee with the infant insert ended up being too big for K. SHOCKER...she is so tiny! We tried to make it work to no avail. We are thinking of putting a big blanket under her little butt to maybe try and boost her up a little bit. We shall see. We did have a moment of inspiration this morning. K woke up at around 5:30 and we just decided to get on up and go walk. So, we did. We walked and walked. I was quite proud of us. Sheri even tried jogging a little bit. She was always a jogger..me, not so much. I'm trying though. When we were done walking/jogging, we came in and did a little ab routine. I'm just hoping we can keep it up!

We took K to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight. She loves going there because of all the TVs that there are to look at! It's so funny to watch her take it all in. It was nice to just have a family night. We don't have enough of those. Life is good. :)

Ya gotta start somewhere...

So why not start here? This has been a long time coming, and why not at 1:30 in the morning..? I'm sure if you're reading this, you're wondering where "Baby Graffiti" came from. Here goes...My partner (Sheri) and I have been wanting to start a blog for our life for a while. Now, we have a baby..a 2 1/2 month old baby. We mainly want this to document her life. If we get mentioned every now and then, so be it. :) Plus, my sister-in-law has one and I think it's awesome to read the adventures of her family! Back to the title. I struggled and struggled coming up with something that wasn't cliche. I finally had the idea to get her to come up with one of her favorite words, and I would come up with mine. So, there ya have it. It's as simple as that. One of my favorite words is "graffiti" and one of her favorite words is "baby." Wow..I know. Now looking at it, it kinda makes sense. Graffiti is any type of public marking that may appear in the form of simple words, or elaborate art. Baby..well, baby is self-explanatory. So, these are the simple words of our life & baby, sometimes more artsy than others.

So, background information comes first I guess. I'm Robin. I have a partner (Sheri), a daughter (Kennedi), 3 dogs (Jackson, Pacey, & Maggie), I teach, I coach, & I have a long list of things I probably should be doing besides being on this blog. Sheri is a professor at Auburn University. Sheri has a journal that I bought for her to chronical Kennedi's life. At least the beginning of Kennedi's life. As you can imagine, that journal is empty, hence the blog.

Kennedi Lee was born March 26th, 2010 at 8:57pm. She was 20 inches long (although we think they didn't quite measure her right since she measured exactly the same at her one month check-up) and weighed 7lbs 3ozs. We fell head over hills right when she came out..of course! She had the perfect amount of brown hair and blue eyes. (We're not sure where the blue eyes came from...they seem to be hanging around though). Maybe I'll have the energy to go back and write the birth story one night..but not tonight.

I guess if we're going to chronicle daily events, today we went to eat with family friends (Tonya, Cheri, Austin, Lucas, & Kelsey) at Durango's. I, of course, had Kennedi dressed up cute, in jeans and a Ralph Lauren polo t-shirt. Well, it was so hot in there that Kennedi ended up coming out of the jeans and chillin' in her Pamper. She hates getting hot, so that made her a much happier camper!
