5 Months

Kenneth is 5 months today. Normally I wouldn't have as accurate a weight since he didn't have a checkup, but he has been fighting a cold for a week and a half now, so we took him in to get some medicine. He doesn't really like the bubble gum flavor. Anyway, he's 16 lb 10.6 oz. and 27 inches long. He's rolling over now, just from the back to tummy (Note from Friday the 30th: Scratch that, I found out last night that he rolls both ways) and is beginning to support himself sitting. He's not there yet, but he's coming. Here's a few pictures from this morning.

Going to Grandma's

We traveled to Missouri for Thanksgiving this year, and I must say, Kenneth is a trooper. In the eight hours it took to make the drive, we stopped once for a meal, gas, and bathroom break. Kenneth slept all but maybe an hour of the trip.

It was great to be home and spend time with my family. Kenneth was the center of attention, and made sure it stayed that way.

We got to spend time with two of my friends from high school who recently both had babies, both of whom are little angels. It's so hard to remember when Kenneth was that small. They were both over 8 lbs when born, so Kenneth was the runt of the three. Seems so hard to imagine now! :)

All in all, it went by to fast. Just makes me look forward to a month from now when my family will all be out here!

Baths and diaper changes have become a lot more difficult since Kenneth found his feet. Kenneth doesn't play with his toys like they are meant to be used. He usually gets sideways like this within the first minute.
The three youngest in our small group. Joel is almost 3 months and Alaina is almost 8 months.

I just love this!

Halloween Fun

Kenneth's first Halloween was pretty fun. He was quite the trooper for all the dressing up and running around. He is pretty patient with his mama.My little penguin! Looks thrilled, doesn't he.
