Jordan Croft, her mother, said Kenna was born five weeks premature. Jordan said Kenna loves smiling and snuggling with her parents. Her favorite activities include tummy time on her mother’s chest with a high-contrast toy on display and watching her older brothers play.

Asked what the family would do with $25,000, the family said the money would help them move from their small townhome.
