5 months!

Kanyon is 5 months old today! And for the first time, he is spending his "birthday" at home..not some silly hospital!!! YIPEEE!!! One of these days I'll quit posting all of the basketball pictures, but once again, here we are from the very beginning.

Almost one month
2 months
3 months
4 months
5 months


We had a Dr. appointment Thursday, so since we were so close, we stuck our heads in the NICU to say hello. It was so fun for us to see each other. Even though Kanyon didn't open his eyes, I know he was happy to "see" them. Here he is with Tracey and Jim. We'll have to make another trip up there sometime soon to see the night shift.
People are always asking how much Kanyon weighs and I really don't know. So my dad, being the expert angler that he is, got out his fish scales! weighing in at...............................
10 pounds!!!!! A nice catch for any fisherman!
Its kinda funny...Kanyon's whole life my dad has compared him to a fish. Pretty soon he'll be bigger than any bass around.

Before long him, Roselyn and Avery will be in the floor fighting over toys! :) Payden was chasing the girls at church cant wait till Kanyon can chase them!! Payden was trying to love on Roselyn and she got him in the eye!! Avery was more aprreciative of the kisses!! So we are sending Kanyon his own little kiss (germ free) *muah!! Cant wait to see yall!!

It's amazing to see him by the basketball then vs. now! He has gotten so big. I love the fish scale - I will have to show that to Mark when he gets home from fishing! He looks great - take care.

The fish scale is very funny. We used a fruit/vegetable scale with Jonathan until he was 8 months old! Then he wiggled so much we were afraid he would fall.
It's great to see how much Kanyon has grown. You are truly blessed. Prayer works. Karen

I love the fish scale weigh-in! What I great idea. But I think that you should continue with the basketball pics also! In those one can really see how much bigger he is getting. It's great to see him doing so well, and hitting the 10 pound mark! Way to go Mom and Kanyon!

Well, this is just one of the funniest posts in a while!! I very much enjoy checking in and reading all the good news and triumphs. Ten pounds! Great going! (Of course, that is what Natasha weighed at birth and by five months she was, like, 22 lbs.! Sheesh, what differences there are in people, eh??) I can't wait to show Jeremy the basketball pictures and the fish scale pictures. TOO GREAT!! LOL!!! Love & Prayers, Sunny Folding
