5 Months

Playing in their room

So tired!

Sitting up all by herself. (with our new pound puppy Parker)

Sleepin in the high chair while we make dinner.

Her favorite pass time...talking on the phone.

Grumpy face

Love these girls.

Look at her crazy hair!

I love this one. Her big blue eyes show really well.

My Makenzie is 5 months old now (creeping up on 6 REALLY fast) and I don't know what to do. I get a little weepy every time of think of how fast my girls are growing. I read a poem the other day about the house being dirty and dinner not done but it's all good cause 'I'm rocking my baby. And babies don't keep.' I lose it every time I think of it. It's just not FAIR.

Anyway. Makenzie is my squishy weed. She weighed 13.9 lbs at her 4 month appointment and is AT LEAST a pound heavier. She is a boobie baby. She won't take a bottle, and while that sucks a bit I couldn't be more proud. I didn't make it this long with Alexys. I still feel guilty I fed her formula. The more I learn about that crap the more guilty I feel too.

Makenzie is already rolling both ways, sits all by herself and is getting up on her knees and rocking. I almost guarantee she'll be crawling by Thanksgiving, if not it won't be too long after. :(

She is my happy girl. She smiles a lot and giggles (mostly at Alexys) She is a terrible sleeper. I still am up with her at least 3 times a night. Plus I'm lucky if she takes 45 minute naps. (Once again mostly because of Alexys, who loves to bother her) She loves to play with Lex in their bedroom too. That makes my life easier because I actually get stuff done occasionally.

She loves to bath. I mean LOVES it. She will start kicking her legs and smiling as soon as she hears the tub running. She has also gotten a few solid foods. She likes broccoli, snap peas, green beans, mashed potatoes and most of all totsie pops! (I know I'm terrible)


Alexys is doing so well in preschool. I had parent teacher confrences a few weeks ago. They said she was the 'star student' She is well above most of her class. She knows all of her colors, can count to 10 consistently, can spell her name and she is the leader of the class. She is there to take charge (and probably be bossy) Her best friend is Hadlee, who is non-verbal. Miss Janel and Miss Rita say that Lex just easily took Hadlee under her wing and stands up for her when the others are not being nice. I love this girl.
