My Little Hat Man













The kids and I pretty much stayed inside today with the cool breeze outside which gave me the opportunity to click off a few photos. KTK really seems to like snoozing, and even sleeping at night, in his hat. We figured out he does better sleeping at Kcare with it on too. So I thought I'd show you what he looks like with it on. I don't know if it gives him a feeling of security or what. But, whatever works. Honestly now that I"m looking at the photos, it sort of looks like he has someone's underwear on his head. Rest assured it isn't!! KTK is LOVIN' the bumbo and we even got out the Exersaucer today. You can see it in the background of one of the pictures. He actually liked that too. His trunk stability in the bumbo is really good now and he loves to sit up and look around at all of us milling about the kitchen. He definitely still needs some work on his trunk control in the Exersaucer. I had to use a blanket to sort of prop him up but, he seemed to like it. Maddox was quick to say 'MINE' when I brought it up from the basement. But, I quickly redirected her and had her TEACH KTK about all the cool rattles/toys on the tray. The PJs he has on in the pictures are 6 months, and they are not any too small. I SWEAR he grew during his nap today ( which he pretty much took in his crib....YIPPY). And, I think his eyes got more blue while he was sleeping too!! I haven't enhanced them at all on the computer. They are really that blue...so odd!! Where does he get those things. He is loving cereal and is doing great now with getting it back in his mouth to swallow. He could actually go without a bib now, he does so well eating it. AND....this has seemed to make him be able to make it through the night! He has slept from about 8 or 9 till 4 or 5am which is significantly better. THANK YOU KENNON!! So as we add more foods to his diet hopefully that will continue to add minutes to his sleeping pattern. Maddox is a singing fool!! She loves to sing all kinds of songs, most of which she learns at Kcare. She has been doing a good job of entertaining herself while I feed KTK. Generally she'll get herself a book and read a-loud....the Maddox version!! It is really cute. We have tons of books and have been reading to her for so long she has most of them memorized in her own Maddox words. I love to hear her, music to my ears. Maddox learned to JUMP with both feet today. She has been working all week on it but using something to hold onto so she could launch both her feet off the ground at the same time. But today she woke up from her almost 3 hr nap :) and hopped down off the bed and said JUMP and she did it...both feet went airborn at the same time. HOW COOL. Definitely a milestone. I know they work on this sort of stuff at Kcare. Tuesday they had a tape line on the ground and were practicing walking the line for balance and coordination etc. Well, KTK needs a bath.....!! The cereal has made him a little constipated so he has gone from pooping several times a day to having just ONE major blowout that generally gets all over him and his clothes. So he is due to get a full bathin'. Take care....love ya! PS the swingset gets delivered tomorrow ( in pieces)! A big project for Eric this weekend.
