Wish I had more time

I wish I had more time to keep up on this blog but between working full time, trying to keep the house clean and being mommy it is hard to come on here to keep this update.

What's new for Kinsley:

• She is sleeping on her tummy now; one weekend she decided she wanted to sleep on her tummy and it has worked out for her. She still makes us worry because she likes to sleep with her head straight down but sleeping on her hands.

• She is sitting up so much better now that she was able to take a bath sitting up finally. She no longer needs the part that lays down anymore.

• She is much more interested in all her toys and how they taste. Everything goes in her mouth now including mommy's hair.

• She loves Mickey Mouse!! I am not kidding she watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with me each night and everytime that Mickey strolls over the hill she gets the biggest smile on her face and screams and laughs. She does the same with her Mickey stuffed doll.

• She is starting to drink from a cup! I purchased an Doidy cup that is made in Scotland. I loved this cup from the first time I seen the videos of babies using it and she was so cute trying to drink from it. The nice thing is that it is not a sippy cup and I was really hoping for her to understand how to drink from a real cup.

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.
