More about Kenzie...(big surprise, right?!)

New sleeping arrangements for the little one...I'm excited, but a bit nervous! We are trying out having Makenzie sleep in the crib in her nursery instead of in the pack'n'play in our bedroom. This will be starting tonight. I'm prepared not to get much sleep, but I guess that's not much different than normal. I suppose we'll just have to let her cry it out...Ugh. That part sucks. She seems to be happier when we leave music on for her- oddly enough, my Lifehouse CD ("No Name Face" is the CD name) seems to do the trick. At least we've found something that calms her down a little. SO...That brings up the questions: do we really let her cry it out? Or do we try to cater to her every need? Or somewhere in between?? I suppose I'll try letting her cry it out for a few nights (if i can keep my sanity long enough to do so!). Hopefully it will run more smoothly than I am anticipating.

Anywhoooooo that's enough about that! So, this last Sunday was Easter- we decided to take Kenzie to church. I should have been a little more prepared!! I fed her in the morning at about 8:30- and forgot that meant she would be hungry again between 10:30 and 11:30. Well, our Sacrament starts at 11:00. So, needless to say, as soon as we got there- she was hungry! I fed her in the foyer for the first little while during sacrament. She didn't finish the bottle, but would not take anymore. I took her back into the Chapel and sat with Tyler for about 20 minutes. At that point Makenzie decided she wanted the rest of the bottle that she had not finished earlier. She let out a loud wail. I grabbed her and ran out to the foyer. Unfortunately, because I was in such a hurry- I left the bottle in the diaper bag near Tyler...but since she was crying, I didn't want to go back in. I ended up spending the remainder of the time in the foyer holding the binky in her mouth to keep her quiet. The good news is that one of my old young women leaders (who I haven't spoken with in years) was in the foyer as well, so I got to catch up with her a bit. Tyler & I decided not to stay for class, but that we'll try it again another week. After church on Easter, I decided that Tyler & I needed to do some family pictures for Easter. After all- you only get 1 first Easter per child :) The pictures turned out alright, but I'm hoping to get some better family pics soon. My brother, Mikey, is going to take some for us next week (it was too rainy and wet this week). We were talking about going to Wheeler Farm. I haven't been there in quite a while- so it should be fun.

Here are some pictures from Easter and today and a video from this morning. Enjoy them!
