Kennedy: 6 Months

Oh my goodness, and I thought you had changed so much last month.  You are sitting up all on your own now and can get just about anywhere you want to get by rolling and scooting and rolling some more.  Here is what you are up to at 6 months: 

At 6 months, you...

- are eating about 2.5 T of cereal every night. 

- LOVE the pool
- are sitting up so well!

- have 2 teeth!  Your 2 bottom teeth broke thru at the exact same time just after your 5 month mark.
- don't nap very well during the day but we are making progress slowly.
- love your sister and brother.  They are pretty sweet on you too.
- you cuddle at night after your bottle and I love it.

- are not spitting up hardly at all anymore.  Such a change from your first few months and your siblings.
- have been away from Mommy for the first time overnight, for 5 nights actually.  Daddy and Mommy took a trip to San Diego for our 10th wedding anniversary.  You stayed one day with Nana and the rest of the time in Oklahoma with Mimi and Papa (and your siblings!)
- are very interested in faces...noses, eyes, ears, earrings, hair
- have started going to Nursery at Church.   You have done great and you are loved.

- Size 6 month clothes 

- Size 1-2 diapers 

- 7oz each feeding; a mixture of breastmilk and formula.  Momma built up a good supply in the freezer so we are mixing your bottles about half and half until we run out of our stash.   

Everyone always says "well, you can sure tell they are all siblings" and yes, you all do look alike but you definitely have your own uniqueness and "Kennedy" look to you.  I love your blonde hair.  You are smaller than your siblings by a couple pounds  month after month.  You are very easy going until you get tired.  You are the happiest baby first thing in the morning.  Getting you from your crib in the morning is one of my favorites things.

I cannot believe you are already 1/2 way to 1 year old, sweet girl.  Holy moly... weren't you just born yesterday!?

Kennedy: 5 Months

5 months already!?  What a fun month this has been! You have learned and grown so much these past 4 weeks.  You have discovered your tongue, your toes, your toys and your voice. It's so fun to watch!

At 5 months, you...

- have started cereal!  You eat cereal with us at dinner time every night. 

- love to sleep on your tummy. Speaking of sleeping, you are a sleeping champion at night. Usually 7:30pm - 8 am. You go to bed awake after your bottle and put yourself to sleep. I usually have to wake you at 8 am to start your day. 

- sleep in a sleep sack that isn't tight. No more swaddle.
- suck your thumb and really have nothing to do with a paci.

- stick to a good schedule throughout the day. Usually eat at 8am, 10:30 am, 1:30 pm, 4:30 pm and 7:30.  We start bath usually by 7pm and you take your bottle right after that. 

- love your thumb. Your right one usually. 

- are a happy spitter. 

- are teething.
- have BLUE eyes like your Momma and all your siblings.
- I think are going to have BLONDE hair which is SO fun and different from your otherwise look-alike siblings.

- Size 3-6 month clothes 

- Size 1-2 diapers 

- 6.5 - 7oz each feeding 

You are the happiest baby... I call you "little love".  Your smile is contagious and you smile a lot! Your brother isn't sure what to call you. I will ask him to get you something and refer to you as "Sister" and he will ask back "the big one or the little one?".  Addison has claimed the "sissy" title and Luke isn't going to let you share that apparently.  Regardless,  you are our Kennedy Isabelle and complete our family in the most perfect way.
