Been way too long

It has been so long since I updated. Oh my Kinsley has changed so much. She is getting so much better at sitting on her own. She still leans to the side and almost falls over but she is learning.

When she was first born I was so ready for her to be this age because I was always so tired and drained plus I really didn't know what to do besides nurse her, change her diaper and stare at her all the time. Now that she is 5 months I miss those little moments when she was so tiny. I do however love this time also because she laughs so much more now. Today she found her Sophie Giraffe the funnest thing ever.

Lets see what is she doing now:

• Arching her back
  
  
• She bends backwards to look at me, daddy or Grandma
  
  
• She rolls over now; back to stomach. Last Saturday she rolled from her tummy to her back
  
  
• She loves her toys now; Sophie, her remote, and her doll are her favorite things
  
  
• She also loves to touch anything and everything goes in her mouth. A few weeks ago I opened a can of soup and had her in my arms and she slapped her hand down in the can.
  
  
• She had her first cold last month, mommy got it too and it was so hard. We both had to sit in front of the cool vaporizer
  
  
• She is getting her first tooth, she has a little bud on her gum. She hasn't been too upset about it.
  
  
• At her last appointment which was on the 18th she was 14lbs 13.5 oz and measured 28 inches long. From her 4 month appointment she gained only 10 oz but she grew 3 inches. She will be my long skinny girl
  
  
• She is starting to reach out and touch things. This week in the bathtub she reached out to touch the water coming out of the faucet.
  
  
• She doesn't like the pacifier but she does like to suck on her thumb and all of her fingers too.
  
  
• She is a very happy and mellow baby and barely ever cries.
  
  

We have not started solids yet and actually are in no rush to do so. We are going to wait till she is 6 months or maybe a little longer. Her tummy needs to develop further and there is no rush to try food as she has her whole life to eat.

Now for some pictures:

Have a seat

Kinsley has discovered that life is more interesting sitting up on her own.



Mommy decided that Saturday morning she would see if Kinsley could sit on her own without falling over and she was successful.



Even though she has a yucky cold she is still reaching milestones.

Sick Baby

On Wednesday evening I picked up Kinsley from my mom's house and she was getting a runny nose. I was really hoping she wasn't going to get a cold but I was wrong. Thursday morning she was congestied sneezing and overall just a big snotty mess. She pretty much sleep all day with at her Grandma's. That night mommy started to get sick. Sadly I am not able to take anything since Kinsley is breastfeed but we both love the cool air humidifier. Since Thursday night she has been sleeping in her swing and tonight is the first night that she is back to sleeping in her pack n play.



Even though she is sick she is still playing and having fun. She jumps like crazy in her jumper and grabs all her toys to chew on them.

Yesterday morning she fell alseep on her daddy she was so tired she could sleep anywhere.

Beavers Game

Kinsley went to her first baseball game with mommy and daddy. Oh course she was wearing her Red Sox pink onesie even though we were at a minor league baseball park.

She meet the beaver and had her picture taken and she had a good time spending time with Daddy watching the game.

Sleepy bed time

So sleepy, everynight we put Kinsley's pajama's on than her halo and she is always fighting her sleep. I love her rubbing her eyes it just lets mommy know that she had a wonderful day playing and having fun with Grandma.
