Kenzie's Adoption Finalization

Today was an amazing day!  We celebrated Kenzie turning 6 months old at the court house finalizing her adoption.  You may be asking what exactly do they do at court?  Let me tell you.  It takes about 6 minutes total.  We started by getting sworn in and then our attorney and case worker proceeded to tell the Judge why we were there and that we wanted to finalize the adoption.  The Judge asked us simple questions to verify our information such as names, birthdays, address, etc...  He then asked Leah if she knew why we there, to which she replied, "So you can Judge Kenzie."  Gave us all a good laugh!  Then the Judge asked us the most important question, "Do you feel it is in the best interest of the child to be adopted by you?"  Of course we said yes.  He said "I feel it is in the best interest of the child to be adopted by Travis and Michelle."  I am not going to lie, it was pretty cool to hear the judge say that.  Then it was all done.  The judge put little medals around both girls necks and we took pictures.

We had to celebrate with ICE CREAM!

Kenzie 6 Months

I can't believe Kenzie is 6 months old already!!  She is still growing fast, weighing 18.12 lbs (94th percentile) and 28 inches tall (100th percentile).  She loves eating solids, her favorites are carrots and bananas.  She rolls from her back to her stomach as soon as you lay her down and then gets upset that she is stuck on her stomach (which is actually quite cute). As you will see from the pictures she also likes to put everything in her mouth.

April Fool's Day

So we didn't spend the day playing tricks on each other, but we did have fun making an interesting dinner.  Mackenzie (friend from Illinois that now lives in Tucson) came up to visit, and she, Penni and I put together a fun dinner.  Leah was not so sure about it when she first tasted it until she realized it was all dessert!

Grilled Cheese (Angel food cake with orange frosting)

Breakfast Casserole (It was suppose to be Lasagna, but looks nothing like lasagna)

All of it with a "jello" drink

"huh?  I like it!"
