Two Little Bettino Bambinos: Kenna is 5 months!

Baby Kenna is 5 months old and is transitioning from little baby to baby that almost sits on your hip, sits in bumbo, is on a 4 hour schedule, doesn't need to sit in carseat in stroller... what?!?!? We are having such a fun time with her. She is getting more chubby each day and I love all of her little rolls. She still has a hard time eating... I think it's difficult for her to focus when we are out and about or even if we are just in the family room and Jack is running around. So I've been pumping and feeding her, which can get tiring, but I feel like is worth it. A few fun transitions- she is on a 4 hour schedule. She still was waking up at the 4am feed, so we started letting her cry it out the past few nights. There has been some sad crying, but out of the four nights we've tried, she's slept 12 hours through two of them. Hoping we can keep turning the corner. The only bummer is when she wakes up at 6am and I feel like we need to get her since she hasn't eaten all night. I want her to wake up at 7am, so we will stay have to play with it. Her naps have gotten more regular. Her morning nap is funny- she ALWAYS wakes up at the 45 minute mark. Sometimes she will cry for 5 minutes to go back to sleep, or she will cry for an hour. It's difficult, but I do hope that she will figure it out. Afternoon naps are for the most part great- she still wakes at 45 min mark, but she will fall back to sleep quickly and take a 2-2 1/2 hour nap consistently. But she hates the 3rd nap. Sometimes she takes it, sometimes she doesn't. But she still loves to hang with people. Always smiling and making noises. I have started putting her in the swing when we go to the park and she LOVES it. Jack enjoys pushing her, too : ) Most afternoons when the kids get up from naps, we head to the park by our house... nice to take a walk and get some energy out before dinner and bedtime. So fun to watch them interact. We also moved her out of her bassinet(which was way overdue) into the pack n play in our closet. Her little legs were longer than the basket, but she seemed cozy and happy so I wanted to switch her over. Now she sprawls out and rolls around the whole pack n play. I think she's way happier : ) She loves Sophie the giraffe and always squeezes and bites her when we are out of the house. She is her carseat toy. She loves reading stories with Jack and watching him talk and move around the house. We just took out her exersaucer and that is a whole new world of entertainment. We love this sweet girl so much and cannot believe she us turning into a little girl. We have to pinch ourselves to believe that we have two kids! I am sad that she is getting bigger because she has SO many cute clothes... some that she hasn't even worn yet! I need to make sure she gets in all of them at least once! Love you, baby Kenna!

Am I as big as my flower?
