6 months old

Our daughter is a half a year old. Holy Cow! This past month Kenley has just taken off developmentally. She is sitting up all by herself. She rolls around all over the place and lately she has decided to get up on all fours and rocks back and forth. I'm giving her a month before she starts crawling. Which is a couple months sooner then Porter crawled. Crazy! Kenley showed so many signs early on of being ready for baby food, so I decided to start her on baby food a couple of weeks ago, she seems to like it all right but she still loves her mommy's milk more. Kenley has traveled around the country a lot since she was born. This month she added to her list of states that she has been to which were Arizona and Florida. On Monday we go to the doctor so I will post her stats later.

Likes:
- Taking her bath with her brother. She just loves being around Porter period.
- Being tickled
- Rolling round

- Being wherever mommy is

Dislikes
- Sleeping through the night but we are making progress
- Taking a bottle
- Being left alone
-Getting her mouth wiped after eating

Porter Turns 3

Last week our big boy turned three. Seth and I have said several times how we can't believe he is three. These three years seriously have flown by. But I must say I absolutely love this stage that he is in. Porter is full of surprises everyday. He is rambunctious, playful and full of energy one minute and the next minute he is loving, cuddly and just so sweet. We are so proud of the little boy he is becoming. Even though he has decided to take his time with talking and he is a super picky eater, we are beyond blessed to have him as our son. Thank you Porter for being an absolute joy in our lives. We love you more then words can say and we look forward to what this next year brings.

Porters Boo Boo

We made it almost 3 years without a major boo boo. But last night it happened. It was crazy how it happened but he is a tough little guy and is doing fine today.

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!

My New Ride

Seth and I have been a one car family, just because we wanted to save money and get rid of some debt. The last couple of months I've been telling him that I think its time to get another car. I've been doing some searching and I narrowed done the car to an Acura MDX. Well last week Seth and I found the perfect one and it has a DVD player already installed in it and we bought it. I love it so much. Its a great car.
