5 months old!

Kevin is 5 months old today! Aside from his 5 month birthday, this was a very big day for both of us; today was Kevin's first day of "school". Don't you think "school" is a much happier word than daycare? His teachers said he did very well for his first day, it will be harder for me to adjust than for Kevin. I picked him up early today and I could hardly wait to get there to give him a hug!! As soon as I picked him up, he feel asleep in my arms and has been sleeping ever since we got home. Part of me wants to wake him up so we can play, but I know that's not a good idea.

Do you like his shirt for his first day of school?

Looking back over the past 5 months, I can't believe we made it this far! We were so clueless when we brought him home from the hospital! We did not feed him enough, we did not sleep enough - some how it all worked out - now we are really having fun! Now, at 5 months, Kevin is starting to eat more rice cereal, his bedtime routine has gotten much easier and he is so much fun to play with. I think he wears himself out during the day now that he is more active. He still loves to lay on his back & kick, kick, kick his feet. Sometimes we call him "Happy Feet" instead of Kevin. Nate thinks this will confuse him. By far, my favorite part of Kevin's personality is that he smiles with his entire body. He has such a big grin and when he flashes you a big smile, you can't help but smile back immediately.
