5 Months Old!

Kyan turned 5 months old yesterday. He is becoming such a fun, happy baby. Not that he wasn't those things before, but he is so much more aware of the world these days and almost anything makes him smile. This is the start of a period of time that I love in babyhood. He isn't getting in to everything, everything amazes him, and he is learning like crazy. We are also entering that phase when developmental milestones are going to start flying by. It is always hard to believe that another month has flown by, but it is really starting to show this month. He looks a lot older to me and acts that way as well. I'm loving every single moment!

Kyan, here is what you are up to at 5 months!

* You are SO happy! Unless you are hungry, you rarely cry and you smile ALL the time!
* You love to eat. Whether it is your bottle or baby food, you really enjoy chowing down. :) So far you have added butternut squash, bananas, carrots, and apples to your diet. I think you really like the squash best.
* You roll both ways! You have rolled from back to belly for a long time, and have once before gone from belly to back, but yesterday it was like you said, "well I'm 5 months old, time to kick it up a notch" and you started rolling both ways all day.
* You are such a good sleeper (not quite as good as your big sis, but I cannot complain one bit). You sleep about 11 hours at night (rarely more) and you take 3 naps that are 1.5-2 hrs long (you just dropped your 4th catnap this week).
* You play with toys! Yay! It is really funny though because your favorite type of "toy" is any blanket, towel, fabric book, etc to chew on. Give you a piece of fabric and you are good to go! :)
* You went camping for the first time this month and did amazing! You even slept in the tent!
* You also went to Oregon for the first time to visit Grandma B and Grandpa D--you did so great traveling and we can't wait to go back again.
* You do REALLY good in your carseat--so different than Mckinley was, and I'm even nervous to jinx it by saying something. Even if you are awake, you hardly cry when you ride in it--simply amazing!
* You weigh 17.2lbs and are 27.5" (home measurements, so the could be way off!)
* Your acid reflux is getting better--hence the chubbiness that has begun to build up this month! :)
* You L.O.V.E. Mckinley. This has been true since the moment you noticed her, but it is true now more than ever. You light up when you see her and she loves you back just as much. She insists daily on sitting next to you constantly, "reading" to you, showing you any and everything that interests her, telling you "good morning" almost every day, and bringing you toys. She also comes at pats your back while saying "it's ok Kyan" when you cry. So sweet! I hope you are always close!
* You and your daddy are really starting to develop a close relationship. Huge smiles are seen when he comes home from work and you simply enjoying being around him.

Ok that is probably enough updates for the month! :) I know this next month will bring just as many. We love you so stinking much Ky!!
