Updates

We learned this weekend that COLD + CONSTIPATION = poor baby that is unable to sleep (which means mom and dad can't sleep either). Poor little Kenley had her first cold. She was very snotty and couldn't breathe (which is part of the reason I think she had trouble sleeping).  She was relatively good throughout the weekend but you could tell she was beyond tired and something just wasn't right. She wasn't her normal "smiley bug" self and although we got a few smiles and giggles they were much harder to come by. Saturday night we ended up on the couch cuddled and would wake up every 30-45 minutes just screaming ;o(  Of course I didn't know exactly what was wrong or how to fix it so I just rocked her and cuddled her back to sleep. Sunday and Sunday night were a little better but she still woke up quite often so we all played hookie and spent a sick day home with her yesterday.  She has been taking 2 hour naps each morning which is completely out of the norm for her but she is starting to feel MUCH better and had a good day at the sitter's today.


I also took some pictures this weekend like it was our own photo shoot. I took them on Saturday before I realized she was getting sick. She only had a runny nose but was acting fine so I turned her into my own little head of lettuce.

I actually took the pictures for my mom. I guess this little outfit (and matching blanket in the next pictures) used to be mine. I think Kenley looked adorable but I didn't know what to put under it so we just rocked the diaper.

I think I got a couple good ones. Now I need a picture of me in the same outfit from 30 years ago to compare.
After our little photo shoot we got dressed for the day and wore our new HOT PINK Flamingo onesie for Grandpa Brockman (who we were going to see later that day.)

It was too cold for short sleeves so I took a picture to show it off and then we put on some long sleeves to stay warm.

Another time that I enjoy taking her picture is when she eats. We are having fun trying new things but she makes some of the funniest faces and the biggest messes. She isn't quite sure about it all and neither is her little belly (hence the constipation mentioned earlier) but I think we will get the hang of it. Us Brockmans are big eaters so I'm sure she will be too.

I also can't believe how BIG she is getting. Tonight she hung out in her swing for a few minutes so I could finish eating dinner and she almost doesn't fit.

Such a big change from these pictures taken what feels like ages ago...

 And finally she is just learning so quickly. She will now see something and want it, so she will reach out and TAKE it. This happened tonight at bathtime when daddy tried to rinse her with the warm water.
She wanted the cup, so she TOOK it.

and then of course, she tried to eat it.

Can't put my favorite bath time picture on since it shows a little too much baby but I thought the ones above were cute. We will save that embarrassing picture for later down the road when she brings her boyfriends home to meet us.. ha!

Well there you have it. A few updates from the Brockman household. Hope these find you all well and having a good week. I can't believe tomorrow is already Wed and another week is half over.
