It has been 5 months since our sweet Kenzie was born! She is such a bright light in our family, and brings us so much joy.
We won't know her exact weight until her appointment next month, but compared to how her sister was...she's HUGE! The weather needs to cool off fast because otherwise Kenzie isn't going to fit all of Marley's cute winter clothes.
Over the last month Kenzie has also gotten LOUD. She loves to squeal all the time, especially while she's playing on the floor. We joke that she's our baby dinosaur because that's what she sounds like.
Mackenzie Likes
When someone finally picks her up out of the crib
Oversleeping and throwing a wrench into her routine
Kicking her little feet
Making her sister mad by being too loud
Playing on the floor and smacking her toys
Being outside
catching the eye of anyone
Giggling at her sister
Trying to sit up on her own
Being held...by ANYONE. She LOVES the attention

Mackenzie Doesn't Like
Being in one spot too long
Giving much notice before she's ready for bed
The Nose Frida
Having a poopy diaper
Staying asleep when getting out of the car
Sleeping without her noise machine
Big changes are coming for Kenzie in the next month. We've been working towards getting her sleeping without the swaddle, and its going great! For being such a high maintenance baby in the beginning, she's taking that really well. (Marley was a pain!)
We started by leaving one arm out, and then we eliminated a blanket (Our secret weapon for achieving the ultimate swaddle). Now she always gets both arms out through the night, but stays asleep. We now just loosely wrap her to help her calm down and fall asleep, but in about a week maybe...that will be gone too!
Once she doesn't need to be swaddled anymore and is used to sleeping that way, we will move Kenzie out of our room and in to share with Marley!
Another change this month is we are going to start "solid foods." (That term always cracks me up, baby food is definitely NOT solid! HAHA!) She tried cereal and did well, and later this week we will venture out and maybe do sweet potatoes or bananas.

Kenzie has also become a rolling machine, and can go both ways now. She is doing a LOT better with tummy time, and I can tell it has helped strengthen her muscles. She also doesn't stay in the spot where I set her down anymore, whether she's on her back or tummy. So I know things are about to get interesting for sure!
