Comparison

Okay, so everyone said that my three year old would seem huge after having a newborn. Boy were you all right. I was away for a week and a half when Carter came up to Pittsburgh with Nate. He was huge! Not only did it seem like he had grown while I was gone but after taking care of Kennedy it was almost comical how big he seemed. I think this picture pretty much sums it all up. Carter is potty-trained by the way, but we still put him in diapers at night. This was when we were getting ready for bed. Kennedy is the little doll up in the top corner if you were having a hard time finding her amidst my three year old monster!

A few more pics

Here are a few more pictures of Kennedy. I need to take some more. She has been such a great baby. Last night she slept from midnight till 5am! Let's hope she keeps it up.

Carter's Reaction

Nate brought Carter with him to Pittsburgh this weekend. His reaction to Kennedy was pretty adorable. For the first half hour he had to help do everything. He held her and fed her a bottle. He seemed totally enamored with her. But by Saturday the novelty had lessened and he went right back to a typical preschooler who pretty much ignores her most of the time. To be honest I prefer it that way. Being "helpful" at three is often not very helpful at all, but still adorable!

Our Little Miracle

Well, here she is, Kennedy Elise Nelson. It has been such an incredible journey and we are so excited to have her. Adoption truly is a miracle and we are so grateful for her birth family that gave us such a precious gift. We can't wait to bring her back to Kentucky, all 10 lbs. 9 oz of her!
