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...
