Kennedy is 4 weeks old!

At 4 weeks old, our baby girl is getting cuter, getting bigger, and bringing joy to our family. Audrey has taken on her role as big sister fairly well. She can be quite helpful. For instance, in the car when we ask Audrey what Kennedy is doing, she says one of two things; she's either sleeping or blinking. Sooo helpful!
Anyway, we are in love with her and as the adjustments continue for all of us, life will only get better.




At Kennedy's two week check-up she weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. so she had gained a little over a pound. This is her at four weeks so I would guess she weighs about 9 pounds.



Kennedy is a great sleeper during the day. Most people who come to visit her leave without ever seeing her eyes.


Gotta love the Boppy!

Easter

Our Easter celebration began on Saturday in Salina. A Burr family tradition is to eat lunch at Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Arda's house in the garage. The tradition began years ago when the weather wouldn't permit an outdoor picnic and it was so much fun it stuck! The only problem now is that the family is growing and the garage isn't.

This is our niece Halle, Ryan's cousin's daughter Ashlyn, and Audrey at the little table.


Another tradition is to roll (usually ends up throw) Easter eggs down a hill. Ryan is very proud of this picture because he got Audrey's egg in mid-air. Somewhere at the bottom of the hill are cousins who are dodging the eggs.



We spent Easter Sunday in Bountiful. There was an indoor Easter egg hunt and in true Raylene (mom) fashion, there were about a million eggs for two little girls to find. My sister Emily's daughter Chloe was the other girl. Her daughter Gretchen (who's nine months old) and my Kennedy weren't interested in the hunt.


There were toys and candy inside some eggs and others had a ticket to get the girls into The Toy Store that was set up for them upstairs where they got to choose more toys.
Audrey doesn't look thrilled, but she was.

My mom also made the girls these skirts for Easter. Making something absolutely adorable is also sooo like my mom.
We all had a blast with our families and Kennedy survived her first trips to Salina and Bountiful.
