I think he had a growth spurt. I tried to put some overalls on him today but I couldn't get the straps buttoned. It's only been 2 weeks, maybe, since the last time he wore them. And he has a pair of pants where the cuffs button up just in case baby is tall and skinny and can wear them for a long time. He is just about bursting out of them at the waist but I also had to unbutton the cuffs. Overall I think we've got another couple weeks in the 6 month clothes, especially if it stays warm and we can forego things like pants. Then it will be time for the 9 month clothes.
Not that my baby is fat or anything but take a look at his "rubberband wrists"
They look like they've got rubberbands wrapped around them
He has the strange 10:30 rousing that Kaida always had too. I don't know if some sound in our neighborhood changes or something in the house or if that's just a light part of your sleep cycle when you're a baby and you went to bed at 8. But he settles down pretty quick.
Today he is 5 months old.
Naked baby! He's getting ready to nom on those feet. |
When we see other kids they're usually assigned to one of four age groups. Melanie, Addy, Baby, and Jim. Older girls from age 3 or 4 up to 10 are Melanie. Toddlers around her age are Addy. Babies are baby. Teenaged boys are Jim.
Jim is Randy. When he was in visiting, Kaida proclaimed him "Jim" one night at dinner. It stuck.
For Father's day I tried to get her to say Happy Daddy Day to JR. It kept coming out Happy Birthday Addy Daddy. Or Happy Daddy Birthday. Or Happy Day Day Daddy. But now she's figured it out and She keeps saying Happy Daddy Day!, so that's pretty cute.
It was a pirate themed father's day complete with costumes and a treasure hunt!
She really likes to play outside. She likes to watch me color with the sidewalk chalk and adds an occasional flourish to whatever I'm drawing. She'll tolerate me blowing bubbles for a while but then she wants to do it herself and ends up inhaling more bubbles than she blows. She plays with the water table that Grammy got her and loves to swing. And sometimes I'll set up the tiny pool or the sprinkler for her.
Apparently Colin's outfit needed a hat to dress it up. |
We were going to have a pantless weekend of potty training but then JR had to work and I didn't think that was something I could handle alone so we skipped it. I think she might be telling me when she has to poop, though it's hard to tell if she has to poop or she already pooped since I don't always jump to take care of it the second she says it.
This seems like a pretty accurate representation of what I look like when I head out. |
But I do get some alone time with each of them during the day, so that's nice.
Kaida is hilarious! I love reading all the funny stuff she says and does. As for Colin...I just want to suffocate myself in his fat rolls. The naked picture of him getting ready to nom his feet is adorable. He's a little baby Michelin man. Too cute!!! Both of them. (I don't really want to suffocate myself in his fat rolls. Hyperbole.)
ReplyDeleteI love his baby cleavage too. When he's naked and he puts his hands together his chest fat squashes and gives him cleavage. It's hilarious.
