5 months old

Our big boy is now 5 months old. It is amazing how quickly time flies. Kai is 17 lbs 14 3/4 oz and 26 1/2 inches tall. He has one tiny little tooth that has poked out of his gums and another one that is starting to. Kai is now eating rice cereal and will be moving on to more exciting foods right away. It is just so crazy how much changes in one month.

Simon and I have had the pleasure of several new experiences as well this month. First off...teething. It sucks. We have survived round one and are rallying together to get through the next two years. Damn you teeth. We have both been "spit on" following a mouthful of cereal. Simon is much more successful than I when it comes to feeding Kai. He makes way better yum yum yum noises. We have seen the first of what will be many temper tantrums I am sure. Kai now arches his back and lets out a cry of protest when he is all done sitting on our laps. This has only occurred when he is tired and trying very hard not to fall asleep while drinking his bottle...so far.

We really cannot complain too much though. What has seemed like hell for us is really a walk in the park compared to some parents experiences. We have really lucked out with our little fella. He just rocks.
