Killean is now 5 months old! He is a very smiley boy! He really enjoys playing with his brother...even when his brother gets a little rough. Killean smiles when Rowan screams in his face or pushes on his stomach, which unfortunately encourages that behavior. But it's definitely their relationship developing. They love each other, and I love it.
He also loves music, eating his foot, and his jumper. Oh...and talking. Oh the talking! He usually talks over me when we are reading books. And he loves to tell stories as often as he can.
He continues to be a good eater and is still eating at least once, but usually twice during the night. He's got some chunky, CHUNKY thighs and weighs about 16 pounds. He's fitting comfortably in 3-6 or 6 month clothes, though some are getting a little tight. He doesn't have much hair and no teeth yet. I was convinced he would be getting teeth soon, but it turns out he just likes to chew on our knuckles. We're holding off on food for a while still since he has a sensitivity to dairy. That and he doesn't seem that interested in food yet. He sits up with assistance pretty well, but he isn't showing an interest in our food yet. It's just a matter of time until he gets exposed to the world of fruits and veggies! He loves to put things in his mouth, but he doesn't seem too drawn to our food. Right now, he's content with milk.
He is a pro a tummy time now. He doesn't mind laying on his stomach and looking around. He does get tired of it after a while, but most of the time he's perfectly content to lay on his stomach. Now...our problem comes in when he wants to get off his tummy. He CAN NOT figure out how to roll from his stomach to his back! He can roll from his back to his stomach all day long, but the opposite direction-no way no how!
He suffers from some very dry skin. He has a terrible patch of dry skin under his chin. Vaseline is doing OK at helping that, but we have to put it on often. Unless it starts to bother him more, we'll probably check with his doctor at his next check up to see if there are other options we can do to help him out.
I love how much he smiles. And when he smiles, he smiles with his whole face. He is a happy, happy baby and shares that happiness with us often which we just love.
