24 2/3 inches X 14 lbs 13 ozs

For weeks we thought that Kian was way behind the eight-ball in both size and weight, but we got the latest checkup and he's now moved into the 60th percentile of 5-monthers by weight. He's still porkin out, and is now back to waking up 3-4 times a night for food (the little buggar).

Just a few weeks ago he started hittin the bottle because mommie's milk factory isn't always able to keep up (we'll post some pictures later). It won't be long before he's swilling milk straight from the gallon jug.



I was stoked when we acquired this swinging contraption because after about the first two weeks of swinging Kian in his baby seat every day to put him to sleep, he outgrew my arm -- about 8 lbs was all I could take without risking shoulder and elbow tendinitis. But for several months he hated this thing until just a few weeks ago, so now we have a new tool in our quiver of things to occupy his time while we scramble to get some things done with out Kian strapped to one or the other of his parents.

My camera has Nightvision, and here's a stealth shot we took of Kian
one night when he thought that we weren't watching.

Poor kid must be hungry eating his fingers like that.
