I am linking up with Ashley @ Words About Waverly for Little Things Wednesday!
This past Sunday, I had a really proud Mommy moment. Our church has a ton of serving opportunities throughtout the year but being a teacher, my favorite is of course, backpack giveaway! Everyone that wants to participate buys a backpack and school supplies from a provided list. Then, we bring them to church and they are donated to local needy children. This year, Kennedy was able to help and it warmed my heart so much. I know she is too young to really understand but Nick and I were still so proud that she wanted to help. After we went to Wal Mart to buy the backpack and supplies, we came home and she helped stuff the supplies into the backpack. That night we went to church and she wanted to carry the backpack in and put it in the pile with the other backpacks. It's little things like this that we feel will help her live her life for Jesus.
Also, Kennedy turned 20 months old this week! Only 4 more months and then we will have a 2 year old! So crazy! I am not really into doing the whole generic monthly updates but here's a few stats and favorites:
Clothing: All 24 month and 2t and size 5 diapers. We still have a big girl here! :)
Favorite toys: Loves babydolls! She wants to feed them, change their diapers and put them down for naps under the coffee table all while saying "shhhh." Nick is terrified that when we have a 2nd child, she is going to try to put the baby under the coffee table. She also loves her hand me down playhouse/garden that our friend Ella gave us.
Favorite book: Princess Sofia's Look and Find flap book and Thump Quack Moo
Favorite foods: Popsicles, ANY FRUIT but especially strawberries and watermelon, yogurt, chicken, corn and edamame.
She is still talking up a storm and has started to say some short phrases like "want to swing" and "thanks Mommy!" My favorite was the other day when we couldn't find her lovey and she said indignantly "find it Mommy!!!" Uh oh, we are in trouble! Sassy like her Mommy!
I thank God everyday for our beautiful blessing! We love her so much!

That is awesome! Raise her up in the way of the Lord and she won't depart from it :) Can't believe our girls will soon be two...hold me ;(
So sweet that she wanted to help with the backpack.
Everytime I read a post of yours about Kennedy, it makes me want to get them together!! Maybe one day :)
That backpack program sounds amazing! How sweet that Kennedy will have all these precious memories of giving to others. :)
Girl I know it has gone by way too fast!
Jennifer we really should! Next time y'all come to Augusta let me know! I will try to find you on Facebook!
Carroll for some reason your comment didn't show up in my email, I know you aren't a no reply blogger so not sure what happened. Yes, I agree, I am so glad we are starting this experience of giving to others early.
Absolutely agree that it is good for the littles to do something for others. I love the backpacks donations I've seen all over. Such a great thing to do.
