Kylie: Five Months

From Kylie's 5th Month

On the 16th we had another little party for Kylie turning another month older. At first I balked at the idea of having these every month, but now I have come to cherish them. They serve as a reminder of how quickly the time goes by—besides it is a good photo opportunity, and her Grandma and Grandpa (and other family) in the USA like to see the photos.

The party was fun. The cake was purchased this month, and nearly everyone was disappointed in the quality of the cake (the chocolate on top was real good...).

A couple of days later, we took Kylie to her monthly checkup. She is doing really well. She weighed 7.5 Kilograms, and is 65 centimeters long.* The doctor was impressed with some of the things she has been doing, and told us to keep up the good work.

Kylie is a joy. Even though I have no experience with other babies, I would call her an "easy baby." As long as she gets her food and sleep on time she is quite content. She laughs often, and is beginning to explore the world around her. She even had her first instant message conversation the other day!
