Siblings

 

Kerala has been really psyched about sitting up with Kian lately. Kian is getting to the point where he can sit up by himself for short stretches of time and for a very long time with a bit of assistance. Yesterday, Kerala really wanted to hold him in her lap but seemed to be a bit surprised about how big he has gotten. It's crazy that he looks almost as big as her and he is only 5 months old. The two of them wear the same size disposable diapers and he is one size down in cloth diapers.

Kian is doing really well developmentally. Over the last couple of weeks he has been super happy about being on his hands and knees and over the last week or so he has started to rock back on forth on his hands and knees so I don't think crawling is too far off. He still doesn't seem to have the strength or coordination to start crawling but you can tell he is eyeing objects and trying to figure out how to get to them. We really need to watch out if an object is in his radius because he is quite good at scooting in circles and inching a bit to get to things. Kian has also been laughing like crazy lately - if you look at him and exclaim "Hey, look at you!" he will laugh so hard - it's the kind of laugh where you expect him to start crying or wet his pants.

Kerala is also doing really well. She has been pretty excited about the big girl pool and is getting more and more adventurous. Also, we got Kerala her first doll house and she loves it. It's pretty cute when she plays with it because she uses it more as a garage for her trains and cars and kind of ignores the people and furniture. Although, she does make the daddy of the house go to work every day.

Tomorrow we are off to have a play date at the pool with our friends Jonah and Kate and possibly Ella and Natalia.
