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...
