Kai- 5 Months


Written by Daddy this month
Likes:
Playing with his new friends at daycare, smiling and giggling at people, rolling around on the floor, interacting with and grabbing toys, and pulling on mommy's hair

Dislikes:
Going down for naps when there are more fun things to do, being held when he wants to be on the go, and being set down when he wants to be held

Milestones:
Baptism at Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church, much more mobility (Alyson at Daycare says that it won't be too long before you start crawling!), and lots of smiles and giggles

Diaper Size: 
Moved up to Size 2!

Clothing Size:
Everything that fits length-wise is way too baggy, but everything that fits in width looks like capris and 3/4 length shirt sleeves. He fits a range of sizes, depending on the item... mostly 3-6 month.

Feeding:
Two meals a day at daycare and much more frequently when mom is around. For some reason, every time you see her, you get hungry!

Nicknames:
Kai Guy, Peanut, WiggleButt, KT

Sleep:
Still a good sleeper, making it through the night most nights and coming in for an early morning feeding around 5 or 6 am. Naps are still difficult at home, but Alyson does a great job at day care... some days your naps even last 2+ hours!

Gear Used Frequently:
Ergo and Baby Bjorn carriers, Great Grandma's rainbow quilt, your Whoozit, the dinosaur chest that we keep in the living room to store your toys and books (you love the buckle!), and anything with  a tag to play with

Recent Outings and Events:
This month we celebrated Mommy's birthday by having a dinner party and by going out on the boat on White Bear Lake with the whole family (including Harriet!). On Labor Day weekend, we took a lunch outing to Sea Salt and Minnehaha Falls and visited White Bear Lake for a BBQ. With school back in full swing, we spent time getting used to a new routine with two working parents. On Fridays you go to music class with Mormor each week.
