Our little barometer

January 24th, 2008

I don’t check the weather reports much.  I don’t really have to.  I can tell it’s going to rain if Kennedy has lousy sleep patterns.  (She did this while in the womb too.)  Pretty cool, huh?  Except that for the past 2 weeks or so, something has either been coming or going.  Guess we’ve had a lot more weather than usual.

Since I’m on a Kennedy update, she has done quite the developing in the past month.  She can sign “all done”, nod her head “yes” and “no”, and she says, “mama”, “dada”, “bubba”, “yes”, “dah” (down).  She also can mimic pretty well.  Kevin says, “Sss” and she does it right back to him.

She is also quite drawn to water - including Cooper’s dish and the toilet.  We have changed many clothes and closed many lids since finding out this fact.  Colby has taken to saying, “Kennedy, no ma’am.” when he sees her going towards Cooper’s water.  He knows to put it on top of the cabinet.  What a helper.

Kennedy loves to pull herself up on the coffee table.  It’s just perfect for her to swipe at whatever is on top.  Of course, the coffee table was taken over by Colby a long time ago as his racetrack for his Hot Wheels cars.  So now Kennedy wants to try and play racetrack with Colby’s Hot Wheels cars.  This turns into a lesson in sharing and being nice to baby sister.

We are so blessed to have children.  I read this Verse the other day that I’m praying for them.

“My [children], do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him and to serve him…”  - 2 Chronicles 29:11
