Post Christmas

Even after all the stress from Christmas I'm always sad to see it end. Jordyn was sooo much fun! Now we're working on taking down our decorations and finding homes for new, and old, stuff. I'd love to get out and go shopping and use these gift cards and spend money (Jeremy swears they are burning a hole in my pocket. Maybe it is?!?!), but it is flat out nasty outside!!!! Will this snow ever stop??? Just when I thought we would have a break...I woke up to blizzard-like weather. Arg....

Jordyn is in love with her new gifts. She's been enjoying her easel and creating masterpieces throughout each day. She's been riding "bull's eye" a lot, and playing with her princesses, castle, all while listening to her Dora "MP3" player. Kennedy really likes a large rattle toy she received and a spinning ball thing. I'm quite impressed at how she can spin it. It's pretty cute. I can tell she's going through a growth spurt; she's been eating and sleeping like crazy. I guess she did recently turn 6 months....my baby!!!! She's still working hard at crawling. So far it is more like the worm. She needs to figure out her arms!!! She certainly can get around, though. It's also pretty darn cute. We're still working on solids. Poor Kennedy cannot get the idea that food is good. She'll still only eat her grains. She makes the funniest little face at anything else. She just finds everything disgusting--except pears, which she had a rough reaction to. We'll keep trying!!!

Well, we are just bored to tears sitting at home. Jordyn has watched more TV than she's normally allowed. She doesn't seem to complain. I've definitely noticed a change in her behavior (from the TV). I can't believe some people let their kids watch TV all day! Anyway.....She has been asking to leave and see her friends a lot. I guess it's really getting to us all. Well, wish us luck with this snow. It is quite insane. I need to pick up a prescription and some groceries before we are stuck here for good! I wanted to take some pictures, because while annoying it sure is pretty out, but I realized I left the camera in Jeremy's car. I'll try to post some soon!!!
