The Naplet

I have coined a new term: the Naplet.  A naplet is a 10 to 15 minute increment of sleep bookended by crying.  Today Kyle has had one nap and 2 naplets.

Kyle at 5 1/2 months

Here are some more recent pictures of Kyle.  The bottom picture is of him in his baptism outfit.  It was too big at his baptism and here it's just a touch tight.  

Kyle at 5 months

Kyle is fairly stable sitting up on his own, and is eating some solid food now. His favorite food so far is applesauce which is nice because we have a great connection for it in Iowa. He's also growing so fast that we are about to retire the baby carrier as his feet are hanging over the edge.

Big Smiles

Here are some recent pictures of Kyle.  Take a look at the video to see his new favorite game. 

Kyle's 2 month check-up

Kyle had his two month check-up today and is growing. He now weighs 12 lbs 7.5 oz and is 23 inches long! He also got two shots today, but took it like a little trooper. He's been sleeping a lot, but is doing great! 

Kyle spent the night with my folks this past Saturday. I think he had a good time. He came home all smiles. I know my folks enjoyed taking care of him for the evening, but I missed him.

Kyle, 8 weeks old yesterday

He stops smiling every time the camera gets up to my eye.  As of yet, this is as close to a smile picture that we can get.  Today he did gave me the biggest smile I've seen but I didn't have the camera ready as he had just peed on me.

One More from the Arboretum

Cristy and I were looking over pictures last night and I found one that I wanted to share.  Dad took literally hundreds of pictures at the Dallas Arboretum, and this was a real nice moment that he caught with Madeleine in mid-skip leading the way.

Happy Easter!

Kyle was invited to Hannah's easter egg hunt.  Hannah did all the work.

Kyle’s first week of daycare

Kyle did great his first week of daycare! The ladies there said he had the best first day of any baby that they can remember. He only cried when he wanted his diaper changed or was hungry. He loves to sit in the bouncy seat and watch the older babies.  He also loves looking at the colorful bulletin board when the caretaker holds him.  They took him outside yesterday because it was finally warm enough and he had a ball. Jay and I aren't adjusting quite as well as Kyle but we'll get used to it.

Cristy has finally become a swaddling master, and to prove it here's a video of Cristy swaddling Kyle.
