Sitting

I have been working with Kenzie to try to get her to sit by herself. It started out as being able to do it for just a few seconds without any support. Now she can do it for a few minutes! Im going to consider her a sitter now! She actually sits for a longer period of time if I am on the blanket with her, but if I sit her down and then walk away to do something else she seems to fall over faster! Here is a picture of her sitting and playing with her ball that Shyanne and Rhonda gave to her.

Meadow Bronco Football

So last night Kenzie and I went to watch the Meadow Broncos play the Paducah Dragons, and as always (against Paducah) it was a close game! Meadow was down the entire game until late in the third! Broncos ended up winning 38-30!!! It was quite an exciting second half---I screamed the entire time and remembered what it was like to come home from a Bronco game!


Also to true Bronco tradition---I didnt see my child all night! When we got to the game I needed to go to the bathroom so I passed her off. Next thing I know its almost half time and Sherryll is bringing her to me saying she was cold. Ha! I put socks on her and gave her a blanket. Then she was gone again! She fell asleep at some point cause the first time I saw her she was wrapped up in her blanket and passed out! When we finally got home last night I took her out of her carseat and went to lay her down (after changing diaper, of course) I realized how ADORABLE her outfit was! I had changed her in the car right before we got out so I hadn't really noticed before. I had bought this outfit for Bronco games when it had started getting a little cooler--so good thing I brought it for her to wear last night. It's sized 6 mo so I didnt think it would fit, but come to find out she's about to outgrow it!

I didnt get any pics of her in it last night, so this morning after she woke up I took some pics. (Please ignore the bottle leakage stains!)

Pics

Here are some random photos that I've taken of Kenzie recently:

You can't really tell in this pic, but Kenzie had turned over to her side to curl up with her bottle and fell asleep!

I want you to notice 2 things---1. Kenzie is smiling!!! I guess something happens at 6 months that allows her to smile or pics! and 2. She had just eaten---look how BIG her tummy gets after she's eaten!


Let me give you a little background before you watch this video. I was at Zookinni's with Kim, Ashley, Braxton, and Kelly and Kenzie was getting a little fussy (later I realized DUH She's hungry!) so Kim took a Nilla Wafer off my plate for her to suck on. She didnt know what to think of at first her little tongue was just licking it up and down. Finally I remembered I had my camera so I had to video it. Shes pretty much passed the point of trying to figure out what it was, so its not as funny, but it still cute!

Six Months

So the true reason for having a blog is so I can keep up with what Kenzie is doing at each age (and I guess so you can see her whenever you want!) so with that in mind---here is what Kenzie is doing at 6 months.
(some of this stuff she's been doing for awhile, but I havent ever written it down!)

• Started solids at 4 months. So far she likes Prunes, Pears, and Applesauce. She's not to fond of cereal or Peaches.


• I'd say formula is still her favorite thing


• About a week ago she started staring down what you eat and she now watches you bring it from the table to your mouth!


• I can prop her up in the recliner and she can hold her bottle to feed herself.

• Today she tried her sippy cup for the first time.

• 2 teeth are poking out (but theyre still covered with a layer of skin). Should be out soon.


• She can now grab a toy and bring it to her mouth


• She doesnt like paci's, but she LOVES sucking on her thumb!


• She isnt too fond of teething rings


• She likes to sleep on her tummy
• She sleeps about 11 hours every night and takes 2 naps during the day
• She likes Dalton


• She LOVES Daddy---she gets all excited when he gets home!


• She sat in a grocery cart for the first time without her carseat (tried it out in Midland yesterday while I was waiting for my car at Discount Tire)


• She likes to grab her foot and try to stick it in her mouth


• She was able to grab onto the ladybug to start the music on her "recliner" (See Photo)



• She LOVES playing in her saucer. She can manipulate all the toys.

Kenzie weighs 15 lbs 10 oz and was 25 inches long at her appt.
