5 months old

Kenley is five months old today. She is turning into a little lady with her sweet smile, the twinkle in her eyes and her high pitch squeal she lets out when she's happy, sad, hungry, tired pretty, much all the time. We just laugh when she starts making that sound. Kenley loves her brother so much. She thinks he is just the funniest person. She lights up every time he's around. She is just about able to sit all by herself and I can tell she loves being up instead off laying down. Lately she has been staring at us every time we are eating. She even has reached out to grab our food. Its so cute. So today we gave her rice cereal for the first time. She had the funniest faces when eating but I think she loved it. She would grab my hand and pull the spoon to her mouth. I'm so glad she is showing signs of being a good eater because it has been so hard to get Porter to eat he is so picky. Kenley is a terrible sleeper I'm not going to lie. I am exhausted everyday because she wakes up multiple times a night. She also refuses to take a bottle so I'm up with her everytime. I even have fallen alseep while feeding her several times. I'm praying that things start to change here very soon because I might go insane because of sleep deprivation. But we love her so much and continue to feel extremely blessed to be her parents. I'm looking forward to this next month.

Kenley Loves:
- Mommy. We are best friends.
- Daddy and Porter of course
- Playing in her excersauser
- Being in her swing
- Being sang to especially "I am a child of god"
- Bathtime
- And now eating.

Kenley Hates:
- Being in a room alone
- Taking a bottle. That needs to change asap.
- Sleeping through the night. BOO!

That is so awesome! What a big girl! I can't believe she is already doing all of those things. You are such a good mom. Hang in there on the night feedings. Those are so tough. Maybe wait an extra 5-10 min each night and maybe she will start to go longer between feedings. Maybe the rice cereal will help her feel full and that might help her sleep more too. Good luck. Being sleep deprived is so hard.

I feel your Pain Mandy! I only get about 6 hours every night and Ryde is up twice in that time before I have to get up for work! Definitely think he's my last one ;) She sure is beautiful though!
