The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- Week 27 (5/19/12-5/25/12)

So we had a lot of changes and excitement this week. Ryan and I went house hunting on Saturday, and Kyler got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa during the day. He had so much fun playing outside in the shade. Sunday we visited Great Grandma again and saw Aunt Lynsey and Uncle Darrel. At the grandparents' house, it was getting nice and warm out, so we thought we would see what Kyler would do if we put his feet in the pool. He kicked and smiled with his little piggies in the water! However, the water was too cold this week to get him all the way in the pool, but in a few weeks when we go back, I think this kid is never going to get out of the water. I think he will be taking after his Mommy with his love of water. (Ryan's editorial comment: as a scientist, I would say that he might be hydrophilic.)

We started Kyler on "solid" foods this week too! Kyler did not seem to deal with rice cereal very well at 5 months old (he was gassy and crabby), so we thought we would wait until he was 6 months old and try oatmeal instead. Kyler LOVED the oatmeal and would have his little mouth open before we could even get another spoonful ready. On Friday, we had Kyler's 6-month pediatrician appointment and found that he is now 20lbs 3oz and 28.5 inches tall! We have a very healthy and growing "little" boy. When the doctor did the exam and turned Kyler on his tummy, Kyler decided that the paper on the table looked good enough to eat...so he shoved it in his mouth! Dr. Oo was quick to replace the paper with a tongue depressor for Ky to chew on instead. He got 3 shots, and his tears broke my heart. But after feeding him in the office and a 3-hour nap, he was happy as ever!
