First Cereal!
We introduced cereal to Breanna this week! Over the past few weeks she has really shown an interest in "real" food. She stares at Mommy and Daddy when they eat and even tries to grab their food. She also become a real drool factory when she smells Mommy cooking. So with a lot of consideration, we decided to try some rice cereal (more liquid than cereal, but food all the same!). The first night Bre was so excited that Mommy had a bowl just for her. She wasn't sure what to do with the spoon, but she wanted to hold it all the same. More cereal ended up on the front of her bib than in her mouth, but she seemed to enjoy the experience. Bre was grabbing the spoon, trying to hold Mommy's hand, and even trying to grab the bowl. Mommy and Daddy had so much fun during the whole experience. We need lots more practice, but we're getting the hang of it! Here are some pictures of the first night!

Family Pictures on Mother's Day
May 13th was my first Mother's Day and I loved every minute of it! I find so much joy being a mother and hope and pray that I can be as good a mother to my children as my mother was to me. My wonderful husband and daughter got me the most beautiful wood jewelry box for Mother's Day. It is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Max and Breanna!!!
We also went and took our first professtional family photos! Breanna did not want to smile for the pictures. She takes a minute to warm up to people she doesn't know, so the photographer had a hard time getting her to smile. The poor photographer was jumping all over the little room trying to get Bre to smile, but no luck. She looked adorable anyway! Here are a few of the pictures we took!

Truly blessed....
This past weekend I found out that a friend of mine lost her baby. She was 9 months pregnant and days away from delivery. Apparently her placenta failed and the baby did not survive. After hearing this news, I was absolutely devastated. To go 9 months carrying a child and then to loose them, would be the most horrible thing that could possibly ever happen. The first thing I did after hearing was to send up a prayer to God for strength for my friend and her family.
This tragedy makes me realize how truly blessed I am to have such a healthy and happy baby. It also makes stop and think just about how precious human life really is. Every life is a miracle and it is easy to forget how fragile life is until it is lost. I don't know what I would do if something ever happened to Breanna. I am so thankful for each and everyone of my family and friends.
My hope is that anyone who reads this will also say a prayer for my friend and that God will give her the strength to get through these rough times.

New blogger!
Okay, this is my first blog ever, so please bear with me as I am new to all of this!!!
Breanna Kennedy Smith was born on January 18, 2007. She weighed 8lbs., 7oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long. She had a head full of black hair (and still does)! Breanna is four months old this week (Friday to be specific)! I can hardly believe it! She is growing so fast! The past four months have been quite an experience. Being new parents, we have faced challenges we never thought possible. Overall, I would say it has been a fairly smooth transition into parenthood.
(Thank God for grandparents with lots of wisdom!)
Breanna is the light of our lives. I can't even remember what our life was like before she was born (except of course that we slept through the night, didn't have to take out the trash daily due to dirty diapers, didn't have to clean bottles everyday, and were able to decide to go out to dinner, movies, or wherever else we pleased at the last minute). I look at Bre sometimes and I am just amazed at what a beautiful creation God has blessed us with. She is absolutely amazing! I thank God everyday for such a wonderful baby! We couldn't have been blessed with a better child. She is so happy and easy going. Her smile and the sparkle in her eyes can melt any one's heart!
