Meet Kenley


By the way, I had a baby..... over 8 months ago.
I figured I should blog about it before she goes through puberty so here it is. 


Kenley Rose Scott





April 23, 2017
6 lbs. 9 oz.
18 inches
cute as shit.






I loved her instantly. I was out of the hospital in 24 hours. It rained the first 3 days we were home. Like God was accommodating my wish to cuddle her in a cozy house with the fireplace warming us up.
Husband Jared and I cuddled the crap out of her. Literally. Newborns crap like 20 times a day. 




There is nothing better than a wrinkly, frog-legged newborn baby. Everything is so tiny and cute. And little babies smell soooooooooooooo good. I sniff Kenley like a frat boy sniffs drugs. I wish there was a perfume that smelled like newborns so I could spray it directly into my nostrils everyday.

When my 6 year old Cryin Ryan met her in the hospital for the first time he was stoked. And when he saw her open her eyes he was even more excited. My cold black heart melted.



 Look at how excited he is in that picture. So. Stinking. Cute.




Tyler liked her initially. But now that she is 9 months old he hates her with a passion. 


I took Baby Kenley to a rodeo when she was 3 months old and this cute teenager with Downs Syndrome loved her as much as I do.


She insisted on helping me feed the baby. 




Look how tiny she is on the 4th of July:




Having a baby girl is different than having a boy in many ways.
Changing Kenley's diaper is way harder than changing a boy's diaper. I'm pretty skilled when it comes to wiping poop of ball sacks, but not so good at navigating girl parts (which was surprising since I am a proud owner of my own girl parts).




Husband Jared is so cute with her too. He is gentle and sweet in a way that he wasn't with our boys.




He is so in love with her, that he doens't get that mad when I buy too many dresses for her.



 


Kenley sleeps through the night like a champ. Mostly because we read Babywise, but also because she is awesome.

Guess who else is awesome.
My mom. She is the best helper around. She babysat the human monkeys while I took naps, she helped keep my house clean, cooked for us, wiped everyone's butts, and even spent the night at my house when Husband had to go out of town. Thanks mom.


 Even when she cries it's hard to get mad at her since she looks like this:


 You can't get mad at a tiny crying elf.

I can't wait to post the newborn pics my friend Violet Luftkin took!
