5 months

Our baby girl is 5 months old!  The time just keeps going faster and faster.  Our girl is so happy these days and we couldn't love her anymore!





Miss Kendall is sleeping through the night fairly consistently.  We wake her up most nights to eat between 9 and 10 pm and she sleeps until 6-7 am.  We tried letting her sleep from 7:30 one night last week-BIG  mistake!  Baby girl was up at 3:30 to eat that morning-oops :)  She still needs to be swaddled and 'plugged in' with her pacifier to sleep and I have to do that between 3 and 4 most mornings.  She is still in our room too.  She is too restless to sleep in big sister's room yet, hopefully sometime soon!  Definitely this summer, when Alyvia doesn't have to be up for school in the morning.




We have just recently starting adding rice cereal to Kendall's formula.  She was spitting up constantly, from the time she ate until her next bottle :(   She was also refluxing in the middle of the night and gasping, which scared me.  The rice cereal seemed to be working last week, but now she is spitting up quit a bit again the last couple of days.  She has a little cold and we're hoping that it's the reason, otherwise we might have to try medicine.  We've been giving her oatmeal in the evening.  She isn't too excited about it yet, but she's getting better at not spitting it all out of her mouth!

No rolling over or sitting up yet.  She is rolling onto her side, but not quite onto her belly.  When you hold her, it better be sitting up or standing, no more laying down like a little baby or she'll let you hear about it!  She is starting to pull everything towards her mouth, other people's fingers are her favorite to munch on (ewww, I know). 

We love having this baby in our lives...it's so hard to imagine she wasn't here just a couple months ago.  Even for her brother.  He doesn't interact with her too much, but he won't leave anywhere without her.  "Momma's baby" he tells everyone <3  We love her so much!
