4 Months Old and Lovin It!!

Kenley turned 4 months old on Labor Day! We had our 4-month appointment on Friday...she weighs 15 pounds 10 ounces! Our little chunky monkey!!! And she's 26 inches long. She's really starting to hit some milestones now too! On August 31st, she laughed for the first time! So cute!! It brought tears to our eyes! I caught her laughing on video a couple of days later...it's down below!

She's really good at grabbing things now too, and bringing them to her mouth to suck on whatever it may be! She's getting really good at taking the bottle and shoving it in her mouth very forcefully! It's pretty cute! We tried cereal for the first time last night, but it didn't work out so well...I think she was a little too hungry and impatient for it this time. I think we'll wait another couple of weeks to try again. We got that on video too, with the "gimme bottle" action at the end. She's still not rolling over, or showing many signs that she wants to. She just started kinda rolling onto her side today when she was going after one of her toys to suck on it! And finally, we're pretty sure she's teething. We can see some little white shadows in her little gum on the bottom and she's gnawing on whatever she can like crazy...and seems to be a little more fussy...imagine that! Oh, and we started supplementing formula, too, last week. Her diaper blowouts were reaching about 4 a day, and mama's supply was dwindling, so we thought we'd give it a shot. She took to it like a champ, so now we're alternating breast milk and formula. Her blowouts have gone down in number, but when she does have one, watch out! Holy stinky mess! It gets everywhere! Hopefully I figure out a way to contain the mess eventually!

She's just so much fun! She has her fussy times, but for the most part, she's such a happy baby and full of smiles! She really misses her grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles and other friends, and can't wait to see them soon!!!







GO HUSKERS!!!


My first Husker outfit!!! I have bunches of little cheerleading uniforms, but I'm not quite big enough for them yet! Later this season I will be, so watch out!!

3 1/2 Months Old

Mama started back to work, and everyone made the transition quite well...a few tears shed my mom, but that's to be expected! She loves Stephanie, her babysitter, and Daddy has his morning routine down. She sleeps through the night, he wakes her up to feed her and get her dressed and out the door by 6 a.m. Then I come home after work, sleep, get up, do some transcription, and go pick her up at about 4 p.m. So it works perfectly! We have all evening to play...she goes to bed between 9 and 9:30 every night. Here's some more pictures! That other little cutie patootie is Cameron, her cousin.
