2 Months Too Soon

Dear Mackenzie,

Monday you turned two months old!!  I’m sure I’ll be saying this for the rest of your life but I can’t believe how time has flown by!

My little girl isn’t so little anymore.  This month you grew out of your newborn clothes and moved up a size in diapers.  My little girl is no longer a newborn.  *sniff*

You had your first round of vaccines where Mommy and Daddy took it harder than you. 

We figured out part of your tummy issues was due to Mommy’s oversupply of milk (sorry!) and worked on fixing that, changed your bottles and started giving you probiotics.  Because of that you are a much less “grunty” baby!  You actually have mini conversations and have started to offer up some adorable smiles!

You went to 3 major outings this last month!  Brea Fest, Downtown Disney and the LA County Fair.  All 3 you did surprisingly well and only cried when you were hungry. 

You start daycare in a couple of days and Mommy is already feeling sad about going back to work and not getting to hang out with you all day.  You also have your first overnight trip coming up – we’re crossing our fingers that everything goes well. 

Happy 2 Months Kenzie!  We' love you!

Inaugural Disneyland 10k

Last year Run Disney announced they were adding a new race distance to their Disneyland Half Marathon weekend.  That new distance was the 10k.  Fast forward to January of this year, I had a small window of time and ended up registering Jeff for the inaugural 10k. 

Since the race started so early and Kenzie needs her beauty sleep, Jeff headed to Disneyland by himself.

Jeff knew how much I wanted to run so he took lots of pictures. 

The race started in the streets and then to California Adventure before crossing into Disneyland and finishing in Downtown Disney.  I heard this course was great since a majority of it was on Disney property. 

There were a ton of people dressed up, Jeff said more than the 5k’s. 

A sneak peek at the decorations for Halloween at Disneyland.

Jeff finished in just over 1:07, pretty good for practically zero runs leading up to the race! #newbabyathome

So proud of the husband!

Disneyland Half Expo

The Disneyland Half Expo opened on Friday.  Since Jeff was running the 10k and I’m still on leave, I convinced Shannon to go with me to pick up his packet.  I was a little nervous since it has been so hot and Kenzie is little but I figured with the extra help, it should be ok.

We headed down to the expo around 11am and it was crowded!  The Downtown Disney parking lot was already full so we were forced into the structure.  Kenzie got to take her first tram ride though!

Once we walked to the Disneyland Hotel we found out what DD was full.  The line to just get your bib was huge!! After a long wait we made it in to pick up Jeff’s bib.

After that wait, we headed into the Expo itself to pick up his shirt.  The expo was so crowded and I’m still not used to pushing a stroller (I was worried for people’s toes) so we called it a day and headed to ESPN Zone for some lunch. 

Kenzie did really well.  She fussed a little because we had to wait for some warm water to warm up her bottle but once she ate, she was fine. 

Thanks to Auntie Shannon for spending the whole day with us!  I would have had a nervous breakdown without the help!

Visiting Nana and Tata

Since we don’t live within walking distance, Jeff suggested we spend the afternoon down my Nana & Tata’s so they could visit with Kenzie.  We ended up barbecuing and Chad & the little nieces joined us.

At one point I dared Noelle to sit in Kenzie’s car seat.  She’s always up for a good dare. 

Where were the older nieces?  At the beach!  #opp

Crystal, you should really join instagram…

And some miscellaneous Kenzie pics.  Jeff loves to take her with him when he runs his errands.  Both to the market and Babies R Us.

We swaddle Kenz at night and the other morning I woke up to the below picture.  Our little girl got her entire arm out of her swaddle!!

And her first official night in her crib.  Lasted 30 minutes.  Oh well…

And a picture from Aunty Shannon-too cute!!

He’s messing up my schedule

One of my favorite times of the day is when Jeff comes home.  By then Kenzie is ready to hear another voice and I’m ready to talk to an adult.  As soon as Jeff comes home, he takes Kenzie and spends some quality time with her.  Including right before her final feeding before bed.  How do they spend quality time?

Yep, he baby whispers Kenzie and they sleep on the couch together.  They were both out cold just now.  Jeff’s snoring and Kenzie didn’t stir when I took 7 pictures trying to get a good shot. 

She’s supposed to eat at 8:45 and this was taken at 8:20…I don’t think she’s going to wake up.
