10 Weeks Old!

McKenzie Ann is 10 weeks old today!  She is growing by leaps and bounds and we love watching :-)

McKenzie is still battling reflux and gassiness and it's been tough. Poor girl is uncomfortable all the time :-(. 

McKenzie is getting excited to start daycare in a couple of weeks!  We've been busy labeling all her stuff that will go with her to daycare.  Her first day of school is February 16th!

McKenzie will be celebrating her baptism in March!  We're so excited to see her all dressed up.  Her gown is being made from her Nana's wedding gown...we can't wait to see how it comes out!

Diapers: Size 1 (size 2 at night)
Clothes: 0-3 (3-6 sleepers sometimes)
Sleeping:  approx 830pm-3am, napping every 90 minutes

9 Weeks Old!

9 Weeks Old!

Our baby girl is now 9 weeks old!  She is growing so fast!!  She had her 2 month check up on Monday and did a great job with her shots!  She weighed in at 12 lbs 2 ounces and 24 inches long.  Her weight is in the 85th percentile while her length is in the 95th!!  Her are some more highlights since last week:

• Still won't keep a pacifier in her mouth.  I have pretty much eliminated all attempts to get her to take a pacifier.  We are hoping she finds her fingers or thumb!
• She is getting so much better with burping!  It doesn't take as long and sometimes she does it on her own!!  Go McKenzie!
• We've switched from Enfamil Newborn to Enfamil Infant formula...although she seems very fussy and gassy since the switch :-/
• She loves her bath so much she screams when she gets out!!  She loves splashing and leaves the bathroom soaked every night!!
• We've started some and many sleep training techniques and I think we have a long road a head of us..she definitely loves to cuddle!

Diapers:  Size 1

Clothes: 0-3 months

Feeding:  4 ounces every 3 hours

Formula:  Enfamil Infant



January 17, 2011 - Two Months Old

Today officially marks McKenzie's 2 Month Birthday :-).  She celebrated by going to the doctor's this morning!  She weighed in at 12 lbs 2 ounces which puts her at the 85%ile and she was 24 inches long which puts her in the 95th percentile!!!  She is a tall baby!  Her head circumference is 39 cm which is in the 58th percentile.

Dr. Bolton said she has great head control and can use her Bumbo seat now!  She also said McKenzie looks great.  We may need to start trying out new formulas and or smaller feedings to try and stop McKenzie's reflux, but it looks like we just have to wait for her to outgrow it :-(.  Same thing with the hiccups....

Finally, McKenzie got her 2 month shots.  2 in her leftleg and one in her right and she also had a vaccine DRINK!  She did a great job :-).  She cried, but quickly settled down.  We'll see how the rest of the day goes....

We are starting to have McKenzie try out her crib more, so that maybe she'll be able to sleep in it at night within the next 2 months.

We visited Magic Dragon last Thursday and saw McKenzie's soon-to-be first classroom!  She met her new teachers and some of her new friends.  We are very excited for her to start daycare on February 16th!

We also visited with Mommy's kindergarteners...who were very excited to meet McKenzie!

Diapers: Size 1
Clothes: 0-3 months

8 Weeks Old!

Our little miss is now 8 weeks old!  We can't believe how much she has grown over the last 2 months.  Next week she goes in for her 8 week well baby visit...wish her luck, she's getting 3 shots!

Here are some updates on McKenzie:

• Still hates to sit or be put down...LOVES to be held, rocked, bounced, and walked (all at the same time)
• Has her first stuffy nose.  She's been sleeping with the humidifer and getting saline drops in her nose.
• Mommy cut her finger while cutting her fingernails....booooooo
• Hiccups are a little less frequent only about 6x a day
• McKenzie LOVES her bath...and HATES getting out of it.  She is starting to splash :-)
• She is still in Size 1 diapers (Thank God, because we still have about 500)
• She is down to 3 bottles at night :-)
• Still eating 4 ounces about every 3 hours (except her 6 oz bottle before bed), but we may be moving up to 6 ounces very soon!
• Mommy and McKenzie started a New Babies group!  She was one of the oldest actually! :-)
• Mommy, Daddy, and McKenzie are going to visit Magic Dragon on Thursday...McKenzie's first school!
