Five Months

Although I always think the time is passing too quickly, it seems like ages ago that I blogged about Kai turning 4 months.  That's not a good sign, as apparently the school year is off to a slow start.  No doctor appointment on these odd-numbered months, so according to our home scale, Kai weighs in at 15lbs 12oz.  My less-than-perfect measurement of his length shows that he is roughly 26 inches long.

At five months Kai is:
-wearing size 2 diapers
-wearing 3-6 or 6 month clothes
-eating five ounces every 3 hours (at least I know it's 5oz when he's at daycare)
-"eating" rice cereal almost every night (most of it gets spit out still and some nights he refuses it completely)
-still talking all the time and now he's really laughing out loud when he finds something funny
-still not sleeping through the night (let's not even talk about his sleep pattern at the moment)
-grabbing for toys, hair, dogs (Sophie), phones, and anything/everything put in front of him
-enjoying the Jumperoo and is just discovering that he can jump and turn around in it
-sitting up, unsupported, for a couple of minutes (he forgets that he needs to use his hands to hold himself and tries to sit all the way up and tips over sometimes)

Naked baby at five months!

Other things about Kai at five months:
-he is still doing GREAT at daycare and is loved by everyone
-he's still a mommy's boy, but is starting to take it easy on his daddy and others (for awhile Tyson felt like he could do nothing right but now Kai gets to spend more time with him in the mornings, so they are definitely getting some daddy-Kai time)
-he is getting pickier about his binkies! He has always loved his MAM binkies, but would take an Avent one or his Hawkeye one in a pinch.  He's never really liked the Nuk ones, but lately, he'll spit all of them out immediately and only wants his MAM.  However, he'll drink from three different bottles/nipple types.
