5 Months Old!


Another month has come and gone. Kenleigh is getting so big. This month has been so much fun. I’m sad to see it go so quickly! It’s been amazing to watch how quick Kenleigh is learning new things. Kenleigh still has really bad acid reflux. She was diagnosed last weekend with chronic reflux. Whatever that means. She still struggles from time to time eating her bottles. She now has a ton of phloem in her chest. The doctor says it’s all part of the reflux. She coughs a lot because of all the phloem and seems congested often. Apparently it’s all related. Poor girlie. She’s on Zantac twice a day and Prevacid once. We haven’t noticed a difference since she started Prevacid. We’ll give it a month and if no change we’ll take her back off. Below are more fun milestones.

  • She rolls from front to back and back to front all the time. We used to have to entice her with toys to get her to roll on to her tummy but now she just does it. Sometimes she does a full 360 but usually surprises herself when she does.
  • She’s holding all her toys really good now and she definitely has some favorites. I’m a complete sucker and buy her several new toys a week.
  • She loves to stand. She does really well in her exersaucer.
  • Now everything she picks up has to go in her mouth for a taste test…even mom’s hair!
  • Just today she finally ate some rice cereal without spitting it all back up. She did really well. We gave her a half tablespoon for dinner and it was just enough. She’s still really small so we’ll see if the extra calories makes her put on the weight or not.
  • She babbles non-stop. She has picked up yelling in fact. Now when she is mad she doesn’t resort right to crying. She first yells to get her point across…if that doesn’t work then bring on the tears.
  • She started doing a new thing where she sucks her bottom lip in then spits it out over and over.
  • I have a feeling the binki will be going away soon. She never keeps it in her mouth very long. When she does have it in she’s always taking it out to play with it and can’t figure out how to get it back.
  • She is getting more and more hair and it seems to be staying red.
  • Her eyes are officially GREEN. So cute!
