Kyler Update

Kyler is now almost five months old! I can't believe how fast time flew! At his four month check up, he was 26 1/2inches and 16lbs 14oz. He is my beef cake! He's gained almost 9lbs and 6 inches since birth. I started putting him in 6 month clothes a couple of days ago. Holy cow! I wish I could remember how much Chase weighed at this age. I have a sheet that the doctor gave me of his stats for the past two years, but I misplaced it somewhere. I need to do some digging. I want to compare these two. All I remember is that Chase was definitely not 16lbs at this age! He was barely 20lbs at about 11 months.

Kyler now rolls over both ways, can hold things on his own, grabs for things all the time and is all over the floor! I guess you could say he's somewhat mobile. I'll put him on a blanket on one side and then the next thing I know he's completely on the opposite side on the carpet. We started him on rice cereal a couple of weeks ago and vegetables a couple of days ago. So far, he loves squash and sweet potatoes. Tomorrow will be the dreaded peas. :o) Then we start fruits next week. Hasn't helped too much with sleep yet.

He is such a happy baby and really only cries when he's hungry or tired. It's nice to actually have a normal baby. lol...Chase was totally opposite from him. He was cranky most of the time and really didn't smile or laugh much as a baby. It's a nice change.

I have a feeling he's going to be walking early. Yikes! Not sure if I'm ready for that. :o)

Here are some pictures from the last couple of months...


This was on the Fourth of July. He wasn't quite sure what to think of this thing. LOL


OK, so he's not really standing on his own. But he did balance for a few seconds. :o)

He doesn't sit on his own either, but lately he has been balancing on his belly pretty well. I don't think it'll be too much longer.


I always wanted a kid that falls asleep anywhere! :o) I can't wait until he falls asleep in his food. Haha! Am I terrible or what?


Look at that chin!

Wearing daddy's wrist band


He did this yesterday. He started playing with his tongue and then I look over at him and he's got his lip under the binky. I was cracking up!

Mom and I can't believe how chubby he is!! SO CUTE! He and Chase look so different to me. It's just weird to think that you can have two kids and they won't both be just like the first. I know that's stupid, but it's weird.

I know, huh? We can't believe it either! I just expected him to be a little skinny boy like Chase was/is. I just noticed today that more than half of the 6-9 month clothes I have are long sleeve. Hopefully I can still squeeze him into some 3-6 month clothes. I think it's time for trip to the Thrift Store...
