New videos

Kyle eating cereal.  He likes to "help".


This is how we spend the majority of our day...
Kyle bounces and watches Lily while she screams made-up songs and dances around the room.


Lily playing with play dough for the first time.  I understand the words she's saying but I don't quite understand what she's explaining.

Trick or Treat

 I've got lots more pictures from Halloween, but this will have to do until I can catch up.  Too bad it was so cold and windy on Kyle's first Halloween.  He came out for this picture and then Matt took him back inside while Lily and I trick or treated.  Oh well.  He got to help hand out candy, so that was fun.

Lily trick or treated with her friends Payton and Marina.  They are both 4 years old and live in our neighborhood.  Lily loves playing with these older girls and they both like playing with Lily since they don't have any younger siblings.  It's a win-win!  Lily is a pro at trick or treating and her favorite treats were suckers and M&Ms.

5 months old!

Happy 5 Months, Kyle!

I know I'm late posting, but the picture was taken on time.  There are new pictures below all of my ramblings.  

A few new things to report this month, but also a lot of the same from before...

- Lots of smiling and drooling.

- Still size 3 diapers.  According to my scale he's about 18 pounds now.

- No rolling yet.  Just cranking his head around and "half rolling" to see what he wants to see.

Now the new stuff...

- Just started baby cereal!!  He enjoys it and I can't shovel it in his mouth fast enough.  He gets a little frustrated that he doesn't quite know how to use the spoon.  Matt said it's like watching the Beast eat in "Beauty and the Beast" :)

- We're just doing cereal once a day this month.  He'll start fruits and veggies next month.

- This month was Kyle's first time away from Mommy.  And it was a long time... 48 hours.  Which was also the longest time Daddy's been in charge with the two kids.  I went to Florida for a friend's wedding.  It was a little tough leaving, but I had a wonderful trip.  Daddy and the kids survived unscathed.  His parents helped him on the second day, so I didn't feel too bad for the guy.

-  Since Daddy did lots of bottle feedings, Kyle learned how to hold his own bottle.  I guess Lily got to help a little too.  I  need to get pics and videos off Matt's phone to post.  

- We also learned how much Kyle eats... and man, it's a lot!  I had guessed he'd want 6 ounces every 3 hours.  That's what Matt did for the most part, but I guess it wasn't enough because he had to catch up with a MAJOR feeding.  Matt gave Kyle a 6 oz bottle and Kyle was still crying.  So Matt gave a little 2 oz bottle and Kyle was still crying.  So then Matt made another 6 oz bottle and Kyle sucked down the whole thing!  14 oz in one feeding!!!  You can see why we started cereal now :)

 

And now a few recent pics...
