Hayden is 5 months old! I couldn't get this picture to rotate, but at 5 months, he is 16.5 lbs and 26". That is funny to me, because Tenley didn't hit 26" until older than 9 months. At 9 months old, Tenley was 25 3/4", but 19.5 lbs! That's my little chunker. :) Here are pictures of Tenley at 5 months, and Hayden at 5 months. Neither had started any solid foods at this point - only the same ole breastmilk for both of them.
BIG difference! haha!! They probably weigh about the same in these pics, but Hayden is just a lot longer. It is a little weird for me to have a baby that is so long, but not
very mobile. But I am enjoying every day with my baby boy. I keep
telling him not to grow up so fast, but he's not listening.
His "skinny" legs are the biggest reason I haven't done cloth diapers with Hayden full time yet. The other reason is I am just lazy and love the convenience of disposables. But I do honestly try for a couple full days every month or so, and he just leaks probably 4 out of every 5 diapers. And I like the convenience of disposables too much to spend a ton of time trying to fix this problem yet. Maybe next month. :) Tenley still does great in them, though!
Recently, we got to take our first swim in Grandma and Grandpa Helm's new pool. It's so pretty and SO much fun! Tenley wears water wings or a swim vest in the pool, but is too cautious to let go of Mom completely yet. I am totally okay with that. She does love to "kick, kick, kick!" though, and when she is feeling brave, she will let me hold her to back float a little bit.
We are also enjoying the outdoors at home. We go on at least one walk almost every day in our neighborhood. We also had a picnic last week under the tree. Tenley and Hayden both enjoy helping me water our plants, although it takes every ounce of self-control within that little girl not to pull flowers and leaves off the plants. I don't have any recent pictures, but Tenley also enjoys sitting around the fire pit with us in her little pink chair when we fire it up with friends.
I'm not very good at getting pictures of the kids together yet, but here is one that is not completely terrible. Sometimes I just forget, but mostly this is because Tenley still loves to "explore" Hayden, and if I look away for 1 second while they are close together, she is either trying to poke out his eye or rip out his tongue. All in love, of course. :)
