5 months old!!

Kaden is 5 months old today. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. Here's what he's been up to lately.

He's wearing size 12 month clothes. He loves to blow raspberries. He gets himself and everything in two foot radius soaking wet, but he's happy. Kaden loves his big sister. He lights up when she talks to him. He loves it when she sings to him, and if he's fusing, she can sooth him almost every time. He isn't sleeping through the night yet, but I can't really complain. He sleeps from about 7:00 to 3 or 3:30, then needs a little snack, and goes right back to sleep (unfortunately its only till 6:00 or so) The kid has stuff to do. Sleep just isn't his thing. There are many days when Mackinna naps longer than he does. Today for example they both went down at the same time. Kaden was up after about an hour and a half, Mackinna slept another hour and ten minutes.

Kaden started eating rice cereal this week at dinner. What he really wants is whatever is on our plates. He's quite a grabber, its really a problem. So ultimately that is what lead me to offering him cereal. He continues to open his mouth and lets me shovel it in, but he's still eyeing the grown up food and looking somewhat unsatisfied with the rice cereal.

He's sitting up pretty well now (for a few minutes at a time... its tiring for a fat little man to keep himself upright!) At least he's to a point when he starts to topple he does attempt to stick an arm out to catch himself, so I'm feeling a little more comfortable in letting him try.

Today he sat on the floor at toddler time with the big kids and was Mackinna's partner for Row-row-row your boat. That made her day! She also took his arms and helped him do the motions for Shoe- fly. It was pretty darn cute.
