So Close

We're so close to sleeping through the night! I am not sure how much longer I can last, so hopefully Mack will figure it out SOON. She will be 5 months old in 3 days, and considering how you don't sleep through the night halfway into pregnancy, that means I haven't slept through the night in nine months! I can hardly wait. It will also be so beneficial for her to get a good night's rest as well. 

Today was Chris' last day at the job he's had for almost three years. Monday starts a new chapter where he will be a dispatcher! We are very excited for this opportunity for many reasons, and I am anxious to hear what the schedule will be. There is a good chance he'll be doing something in the middle of the night and I'm a planner, so I want to know what our days will look like! Chris will also only have a fraction of his old commute, so that just added an hour to everyday. 

We've been battling a few sick bugs for the last couple of weeks. We've all been feeling pretty good the last couple of days though, and I'm planning on disinfecting the whole house tomorrow just to play it safe. It's so hard having sick kids and definitely helps you appreciate the healthy days! Reilly will also TELL you she is sick so she can have more of her tasty medicine. Luckily all Mackenzie has had to deal with is a cough.

 Reilly has been a very sweet big sis - she'll play with Mack and help find her toys. When Mackenzie is crying, Reilly will go rock her and say "Shh, Macky, honey, it's ok!" Whenever we're in the car she always gets concerned when we stop at a light because she knows that Mack likes it best when we're actually driving. She doesn't like Mack to be sad.

 Mack is getting so big! She started rolling right about four months. She wasn't so sure about it at first, but a change of scenery is nice sometimes. She also is a thumb sucker for sure. We were trying to only use the paci, but it just wasn't working unless you wanted to be on 24 hour patrol. No one has time for that, so we just gave in.

This happened one morning when I was out. She usually is content with feeding her dollies, but must have decided Mack needed a little help too!
