5 months

This week we had another big first in Kane's life. I was in Portland from Monday to Wednesday for work and we spent two whole nights apart! Granted he did have his dad, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and cousins to take care of him and keep him company. I had been dreading the trip for months but we officially survived and from what I heard everything went just fine.
We went to our first Mariners game with Kane for our 2 year anniversary. He did really great at the game and we enjoyed ourselves even if the Mariners lost....big surprise.
In a couple weeks Kane will turn 6 months old. He is now figuring out the places and people he knows and those he doesn't. As soon as something or someone is unfamiliar the bottom lip comes out to warn us that he is uncomfortable with the situation. When holding Kane he grabs and pinches our arms or anything he can get ahold of for that matter. He is eating veggies for dinner most nights. So far he likes the sweet potatoes and squash the best, but he will eat peas and green beans after a few disgusted facial expressions. Things have definitely been more interesting around our house.

4 months and counting

A lot has happened since my last blog. Kane had his 4 month appointment and he was 15 pounds 12 ounces and 25 7/8 inches long! We went through another round of shots but Kane took it like a champ. He is growing normally and is as healthy as can be. He gains new skills every week and we have enjoyed watching him practice his new tricks. Kane is now rolling from his stomach to his back and likes to lay on his side. When laying on his back he grabs his fat little feet. We have to be on our toes because Kane is now reaching for everything and putting it in his mouth. Its probably a good thing he isn't mobile yet or we would be in big trouble. He is drooling so much he soaks the front of his shirts. Kane is growing a very interesting head of hair. It is blondish-red, fluffy and standing straight on end which makes for a good laugh.
Another new experience has been introducing rice cereal with a spoon and formula in his bottle. The look on his face was priceless when he tasted his first food other than breast milk. He was sooo disgusted and started gagging. Now we are in the swing of things and doing quite well with the spoon all things considering.
I recently had my first Mother's day and it is weird because I can't imagine my life without Kane. We spent time with family and friends and had a great day.
