well, officially it was yesterday, and yes this picture was actually taken yesterday.
It's hard to believe that Makena is already 5 months old! Time really does fly. She is still a really sweet baby. She has startled herself by rolling over from her back to her stomach when she's rocking back and forth from her back to her side. So, no more leaving her unattended on the bed since we officially have a rolling baby now.
Depending on who you ask (which side of the family), she is either all-Allen, or all-Benedict in the looks department. It will be interesting to see how her features develop. The word is still out on her hair. I think it will be wavy at least, but Noa is convinced it will be straight. One think for certain is that she definitely looks different from Nanea, but they have the same great smile. She is a super-duper cutie!
This is probably Makena's happiest time of the day, bath time. We play as we're waiting for the tub to fill up. She is extremely ticklish on her sides, but only without clothes. We definitely don't get this reaction when we tickle her when she's dressed.
At Thanksgiving this year, everyone commented on how "fat" Makena is. It's definitely all in the cheeks...well, a little in the thighs too.
**disclaimer: I don't always look this tired. Makeup is a beautiful thing. Too bad I wasn't wearing any this day. Or most days to be honest. Note to self, put makeup on every day!

trying to get them to pose together and both smile is pretty much impossible. Here they seem to be zoning out on something just over my shoulder...
