Vienna 10 Months

Keaton's 3 months old!

Keaton is growing up so fast, it seems as though he is no longer a "little" baby. He is a much bigger baby than Marshall was and is just over an inch away from Marshall's 9 month measurement! Keatons personality a lot of the time is less than desirable but when he is happy it is the cutest thing. Marshall was a lot more outgoing and loved to be around people where as Keaton takes a long time to warm up to people. Marshall was a difficult feeder and seemed to never eat where as Keaton is constantly wanting to eat (and eats tons in one feeding). They also look completely different, Marshall is a lot fairer (like a Knapp) where as Keaton seemed to pick up the darker Kennedy genes. It seems as though these boys are almost complete opposites but as you can see from the following picture they adore each other. Marshall likes to get in his face and say "hi Keaton, hi!", he is constantly giving Keaton kisses and cuggles :) As expected there are the moments where Marshall wants to launch himself off of Keatons stomach with one foot, or "tap" him a little harder than usual but we tend to catch on to that before it actually happens. Over all we are very grateful for his little life and wouldn't trade either of them for the world (even though Brent jokes that he wants to trade him in for a less fussy, quieter model :)

"I'n two yeyahs owd!"

That's right, Mattea turned 2 years old last Sunday! She has been super excited about birthdays recently so when it came time for her own, she was definitely ready for the cake, the decorations, the party and the presents! We had a small Dora themed family party for her (her latest obsession!), and she had a blast. She is a very spunky little girl, and loves to read, do puzzles, play outside and play imaginary games (especially with her playmobil and stuffed animals). She weighs 34 lbs and is 38 inches tall, so she is still in the 95th percentile for weight and well off the charts for height. She is alot of fun and we love her to death!

Some pics from her birthday:

- Reading up in her room while her cousins play!

Running through her new birthday doggy sprinkler (who she thinks is Slinky from Toy Story). He shakes his head back and forth, spraying water...and she sternly grabbed his face and said "Linky...listen to me! Stop shaking...and sit still!" - I guess she had enough of the water!
Here is her birthday cake:
These sister shots were taken at the end of June:

This was her at the zoo back in June:
