McKinley Jane: Five Months Old

Little McMunchkin (as her Daddy calls her) is five months old!  She weighs in at 14lbs 7oz, wears 3-6 month clothes, size 2 diapers, and has learned many new things this past month! 

Still the most smiley baby I've ever known.

Kinley Jane loves to play her own version of peek a boo with her bib or any blanket near by.  She can get really worked up and LOUD while she plays her game which is pretty entertaining to watch.

She began eating solids this month.  We started with rice cereal which she looks forward to everyday.  She got the hang of eating very quickly.  I can't wait to see what her favorites are as we try new foods.  We tried bananas next and she wasn't quite sure about them.  Mum mum crackers on the other hand are a huge favorite and if she loses her grip on it she cries and impatient angry cry until you hand it back to her.

Rice cereal with apples and bananas, YUM!

Not so sure about mashed ripe bananas for the first time...

 Kinley is almost done breastfeeding.  We probably feed once, maybe twice a day.  She is mostly on formula now.  Dan is teaching her to hold her own bottle.

Bottle time!

 Poor Kinley had a difficult round of teething just after Christmas.  No teeth just yet but they must be on their way soon.  In general though she is still a very good baby.  I always know she is getting tired when she starts making these grunting sounds. 

Boo for teething!  She would chew on her hands and whine when she was sore.

McKinley can now roll from her back to her tummy and back to her back.  She is going to be an early mover!  She loves her time playing with toys.

Time in her favorite swing.

She graduated to riding upright when we got our new double Bob stroller.  Lena loved having Kinley riding right beside her.  I can tell these two will be fast friends and I have enjoyed watching them interact together.  McKinley loves her big sister already!
