Here she comes

We took this video yesterday morning before I left the house to go to a baby shower. We've known for a while that Carolyn was *this* close to walking on her own. It was just a matter of time. Well, fast forward not more than an hour later (when mom is in the car and driving down the street) and she takes four steps on her own. Brian called me and said "You're not going to believe this..." 

So, now the world knows she can walk on her own as a brand-new way to get from A to B. But *will* she? That's the thing with C. Her will. If it's not her will...forget it! Since yesterday we've seen her take a few steps here and there on her own, but she's still very much attached to our hands when it comes to walking any great distance (say, from the couch to her little house). At this point I think it's mostly a courage and comfort thing. She wants to feel completely secure before she's going to venture out and become a full-blown walker.

Enjoy the video!

A stubborn baby...

Jen and I went out to dinner last night for her birthday and Valentine's day and as you can tell from the video, Carolyn didn't quite want to cooperate with Grandma:

My husband is a genius...

...(And now his head has gotten so big it exploded.)

But seriously, Brian set us up with a new blog that will be much easier for us to update. That's good news for me, because I love sharing new photos of Little Miss C. It's good news for you, too: the people who love looking at new photos of Little Miss C (and really, who doesn't love that).

I'm going to try to blog more frequently on here, too. That way you all can know lots of things, like the fact that Carolyn is budding a little attitude. One that makes her throw fits when it's time to get in the high chair for a meal, or on the changing table for a new diap. I'm hoping that this recent development may have something to do with all the teeth that are in various stages of arrival in her little mouth. Otherwise...boy are we in for a ride. (We're probably in for a ride no matter what, but she's worth it!)

Until the next post, hope you all enjoy the new photos we've got up here. Some of them are from the recent trip Brian and I took to Vegas with my family to celebrate the 21st birthday of Jessie/Booh/The Godfather. We had a great time, and Carolyn had a great time with Nana and Papa.

Enjoy the new blog!

Another Test...

This is a test to see how to the "publish to blogger" feature in picassa works.

A test of the Kennedy remote blogging system...

Had this been a real post there would have been text which would have been more exciting but this was simply a test.

A late Happy New Year!!!

2009 has started off right where 2008 ended, busy!  Because of that, I have decided to give up maintaining our old blog(where I coded everything) and am moving to blogger.com to let them handle the html programming.   Because blogger.com is owned by Google I can directly link in our picassa pages automatically so the bottom line is that you'll get to see photos of Carolyn faster :-)

The url will remain the same: http://family.azkennedy.com

Until next time...
