Fat

Today I have officially given up food :) I joined Weight Watchers and so far doing good - its only been since 5:40am when I started -lol! But I'm determined to lose the baby weight plus the 10 extra lbs I had pre-kenzie! That brings me to 25lbs i want to drop - my goal is by the end of summer. Since I pump I get extra points so hopefully I do good! I want this weight gone before "parker" comes. Which could be sooner then later ;) I need to learn to eat better also! I'm going to join the "Biggest loser" at work. It's $30 to join and you win a lot in the end if you loose the weight. Its just one more thing to help me stay focused. Enough about my fat now....

Kenzie isn't waking up anymore to eat...instead she wakes up so someone will come in and pet her little head. It's annoying but cute! We need to stop going in there though but it's sad to hear her cry!

Renee is staying with us for the next 2 weeks so I plan on getting stuff done around the house that I have not been able to since her arrival.

My grandma is now on day 9 w/o food and water. Its so sad! Its like she just doesn't want to let go yet. They are giving her meds to control the pain - if she's in any. My g'pa is holding up as good as can be but its hard now that this is the end of the road for her. I went up to see her Saturday again to say my good-byes. Soooo very hard and very sad!

Ryan feed Kenzie last night and she was COVERED in food! I forgot my camera cord but tomorrow or tonight I'll post the pictures.

Tonight Aaron, Holly and the kids are coming over. It will be interesting to see Elly....who isn't broken :) I'm not sure what it's like to have one not broken! Kenzie is fixed now - thank god! But she still needs LOTS of attention! Good thing we have hardwood floors because she LOVES to be pushed around in that damn high chair. She's not going to think that's for instead, instead she thinks its a "ride".

New Tricks

Kenzie rolled again for us yesterday. She did it once for Ryan and I but never again until yesterday morning. We both woke up and put Mckenzie down for tummy time and she just rolled from your tummy to her back twice. Of course she cried because she hit her little head but she'll figure it out how not to...hopefully!

She also figured out she can make sounds....really LOUD sounds. So now she just opens her little mouth and yells! She doesn't know about the "inside voice" yet. Its really cute but really loud. We were at Cub last week and she was yelling up and down the rows as we shopped. Sometimes you can't tell if she's starting to cry or just entertaining herself by yelling.

Our beloved sleep came to a stop the other night. agh! Kenzie went from sleeping 12 straight to two-three hours. I stopped the night feeding though because she went 3 weeks w/o eating so now I just go in there and rub her little head and put the nok in. It's been working but that's annoying. She needs to learn to get herself back to sleep.

Once in awhile i see her sucking her thumb but then moves to sucking all her fingers. Well yesterday during her nap she was totally sucking her thumb the whole time. It was really cute. It's bitter sweet because I can throw away a nuk but I can't a thumb. Pick your poison i guess....

She still hates peas. I tried to feed her them Friday night and I got the same reaction as I did the first time I feed her them.

Sleep for all

Kenzie's nick names change as she does. She went from Apples to Chubbers to Good little sleep. Ryan and I have been sooo excited because of Kenzie's new sleep habits! For the past 2 weeks Mckenzie has been sleeping from 8pm until 5am. But then all the sudden for the last week it was 12 hours (8pm - 8am). That's when the nick name "good little sleeper" formed. But last night she woke up at 2:50am and I thought wtf! So I decided she can go all night, or at least until 5am without eating, so decided I wasn't going to feed her. I went into her room and she was just looking up at me so i put her nok in and rubbed her little forehead. Mean while she just starred at me with her beady little eyes wide open. After about 2 minutes I b-lined if for my bed! I laid there for 30 minutes and never heard a peep so I went back to bed as she did. Kenzie slept until 7am. Hopefully, this was just a misunderstanding of the new bedtime rules and she continues to sleep 12 hours :) I forgot what it was like to have unbroken sleep - a mom can really get used to real sleep real fast!

Kenzie

Sleep

I'm a little scared if i say this out loud things will change...But Kenzie has been the BEST little sleeper ever this past week. This week she mostly slept until 5am and the last 2 nights she didn't get up until 7am and 8am! Its sooooo nice!! Since about week 4 of her little life I have stuck to a bed time routine with her every single night. Not sure if that's why or what but it's been great!

We went to visit Elly today and Kenzie was such a good girl. We were in shock and laughing when we left because Elly didn't really make a peep in the few hours we were there. We didn't know babies could be awake and not crying.

Kenzie LOVES to eat her baby food now. She SHAKES when she see's it coming on the spoon. Ryan is trying to figure out how to email out the video of the first time she ate food. She was not a fan!

Rolling

Just got word from Ryan that out little girl just rolled over for him all on her own! She cried though! lol He's a very proud daddy right now!
