Ryan's biggest fear is that Kellyn will want to go to KU. So, we are trying to brainwash her early! :)

Amazing child

It amazes me how much Kellyn can change or learn in a weeks time. Last week she was scooting. Now, she gets up on all fours and tries so hard to move. She also wants so badly to sit up by herself. She is unable to sit up from the floor. However, if we set her on the couch she can lean up and sit/ balance for a few seconds before she falls over. It won't be long and she will be Mobile and in to everything. I'm not sure I am ready for that. Ryan can't wait, but he isn't the one who will be chancing her around all day ever day! :) She also LOVES to stand up. She will grab my fingers and put weight on them and I will kind of pull her up so she is standing. She will sometimes move one leg in front of the other like she is walking. Maybe, she will skip crawling?? Probably not. I think because she is so small it's easier for her to do those type of things... not much weight!



Please ignore her hair. She has more bad hair days than good.



She is trying to crawl!

Her hair is getting really long. She is going to need a hair cut before long!

Happy 5 months Kellyn!

Kelly is 5 months old today! Crazy how time flies. As of today she can...

• Roll from her back to her tummy, but she hasn't figured out how to roll back over.
• She can get up on all 4's, but is unable to stay for a long period of time
• She has mastered scooting! She can even scoot backwards.
• She can say all of her vowels and gibbers and jabbers all the time.
• She can grab objects and put them in her mouth.
• She is almost ready to start eating "people food" She watches Ryan and I very intently when we are eating or drinking. Also, she just started mimicking us by chewing.
• She figured out how to play with the toys on her excersauser. One day Ryan would show her how to play with it, then take her hand and do it and then she would do it by herself.
• Her feet FINALLY reach the bottom of the exersaucer!! :)
  

"That's my girl"- Ryan.

Last night Ryan couldn't wait for me to get home.... As soon as I walked in the door the following conversation went down.

Ryan: You're home! Guess what Kellyn did?
Me: No idea.
Ryan: I was holding her and we were talking and then she ripped one.
Me: And you're impressed by this??
Ryan: It was the loudest longest fart I have heard. Then, I started laughing and then she started laughing and she continued to fart as she laughed.
Me: Are you impressed?
Ryan: I was so proud.

Other than Ryan being proud of Kellyn's flatulence our household is full of sick germs. We all have pretty bad colds. With that being said Kellyn has to get her snot sucked numerous times throughout the day. As soon as she sees the sucker she starts crying. She also hasn't been sleeping well because she can't breathe out of her nose, so she can't suck her thumb. She isn't sleeping well which means I am not sleeping well. Sometimes I was wish I was like Ryan and could sleep right through her crying. I'm going to make him get up with her tonight if she doesn't sleep well. I need some rest or I will never get better!!
Kellyn is 5 months tomorrow (Crazy!). I will post an update tomorrow. I have to get Kellyn ready to go to Grammies house so I can go to work.
