5 Months

Kiley is still doing very well. I took my P.E. exam April 25th and am very glad that is over. It will be about 10-12 weeks before I get the results. It was hard studying with Kiley sitting next to me. She is starting to jabber more, and it is so cute. I wanted to play with her instead of study. Check out the video below.

We have discovered that Kiley likes to look out the sliding glass door at the cars driving past. We prop her up on the couch with pillows, and she will stay entertained for about 30 minutes to almost an hour. It is amazing.

Kiley took her first trip to Lakeland to meet her new cousin, Ava, and other family members. However, while in Lakeland we had a tragedy in the family. My cousin died in a scuba diving accident which made the trip a bit more emotional. I think it was a bit much of a trip for Kiley. She really clung to me the whole time. Every time she woke up she was somewhere new with new faces. I am sure she was very overwhelmed. She practically cried every time someone besides me wanted to hold her. We did enjoy spending time with the family though.

Kiley is developing well. She has discovered her toes and likes to play with them. She rolled over from her back to stomach for the first time. Kiley is in a new phase where she likes to stand up or lay down rather than sit up. After my exam we stopped swaddling Kiley, and she has been doing fine sleeping through the night. She still looks like Jeremy, and she is still very healthy.
