Height: 26 inches
Weight: 13 pounds 14.4 ounces
Clothing size: Both 0-3 month and 3-6 month onesies, but all 3-6 month pants.We’re mostly in 3-6 month jammies, too. Eyecolor: Blue-gray.
Nursing: Every 2.5 hours!
Favorite things: Snuggling, warm baths, being tickled, watching Kaya, and when we fly her over our heads like an airplane! Her favorite toys are her laughing butterfly rattle and Valentine’s beanie baby puppy.Dislikes: Getting buckled into the car seat!
Sleep: Still not great. Bedtime is between 7 and 7:30 pm, and then she’s usually up around 11:30 pm, 3 am, and 5 or 6 am. Naps don’t happen unless I’m holding her or she’s so tired that she just passes out.

She’s still sleeping in our room, but I’m planning to transition her to the crib before this month is over. It might be crazy with two girls in one room, but I’m ready to just make the change.
Nicknames: Baba, Peanut, and FuzzHead!
Milestones, etc.: -She is SO great at grabbing what she wants and holding on to it. It’s really hard to take anything out of her little iron fist!
-She doesn’t just babble, she yells and shrieks with happiness! She actually has a very shrill little voice.
-She can sit up pretty well if she has the boppy pillow behind her. I’ve tried to get her to sit on her own, but it doesn’t last for more than half a second!
-I’ve been working on getting her to “stand” (assisted, obviously) on her legs for forever, and now, she finally does it! For a long time, she’d just avoid putting any weight on her legs at all, so I’m glad we’re making some progress.
-She still hasn’t rolled over yet… and to be honest, it’s probably my fault- she doesn’t get nearly as much floor time as Kaya did at this age. We’re so much more on the go these days, and when we’re home, I’m either holding her or she’s in her little seat next to me while I’m getting something done.

Dear Kaelyn,

Do you have to grow so fast? I just want to keep you tiny and snuggly. You really still seem so little to me, but I honestly can’t believe you’ve been here with us for 5 whole months.

You are the perfect blend of sweet…

…and crazy! You just emanate joy and contentment, and everyone notices. It’s definitely my favorite thing about you!

I’m so proud of how big and strong you’re becoming. You started out so tiny, but no one could ever tell by looking at you now.

I love you Kaelyn Grace. Thank you for choosing our family!

Love, Mommy
