5 Months Old

My sweet girl is 5 months old today!  The last 5 months have gone by so quickly.  Right now is a really fun time because she is becoming more interactive and really aware of things going on around her. 

MacKenzie weighs about 15 lbs and is about 25 inches long.

She is wearing 3 month and 3 to 6 month clothes, although the 3 months are almost too short.  And she just moved up to size 2 diapers.

We just started veggies at dinner time and she is eating rice cereal 2 times a day.

MacKenzie usually takes at least 1 good nap during the day and a couple of short "cat naps".  At night, she sleeps a good 10 to 11 hours (usually from around 7 pm to anywhere between 5 and 6:30 am).

Within the past week or so, she has really started noticing the dogs and cat.  She squeals and smiles whenever they get close to her and likes to watch them around the house.  They are not too sure about her and sometimes she scares Peyton (the cat) when she squeals at him.

She rolled over once a daycare and didn't roll over again until this past weekend.  She is trying her best to sit up on her own, but isn't quite there yet...but only needs a little assistance or support.  Also, she puts everything she can get her hands on in her mouth...toys, her hands & fingers, our fingers...everything!

We had our first illness this month, too.  It wound up just being a nasty cold, but she was running a fever and had a bad runny nose & watery eyes.  So, we took her to the doctor and he put her on an antiobiotic.
