5 Months!!

Time is flying by!! Kellen turned 5 months already! I did forget to update for his 4 month birthday so i'll give you an update of the last month! Since my last post, Kellen has started eating rice, is now eating oatmeal (banana so it tastes better), and baby food, and now rolls over! He first rolled over from his back to his front on August 24. On Sept. 8, he was lying in the middle of the bed while i was studying and he was on his belly. After a few minutes I turned to check on him and he was on his back!! He had rolled from his belly to his back, into our folded laundry. He had pulled one of my shirts off the pile and threw it to his side, then he grabbed another one of my shirts and was eating it haha. When i went over to him he stopped chewing on it and looked up with this big grin, probably saying "Mommy! Better watch out!" Crazy how time flies!!!!



I took some adorable 5 month pictures of him so everybody can see how big he is getting! For a few days we thought he was teething because he was so cranky and drooly! But he has a little cold and is all stuffed up, so i'm starting to think that he just wasn't feeling well. I would be going crazy if he was already teething! I know it will happen soon, but it's still so weird to think that he's getting that big!
Traxton loves his baby brother, and is still always checking up on him! Now Kellen is starting to like having the dog around! Since Kellen is so much more interactive, when Trax comes up and licks his feet or hands, Kellen will usually get a big grin. I love that my boys all get along!

At Kellens 3 month appointment he was in the 45th percentile for his weight and in the 90th percentile for his height!! He's still so tall and not very chunky! So I am so excited for his 6 month appointment to see how big he is now! He is almost sitting up by himself too, he will sit up for a few seconds here and there before tipping over and smiling. He thinks its funny to tip over! He laughs a lot now and is just so much fun! He has this cute look that he does and it kills me everytime! He even plays peekaboo (probably not consciously) but its still really fun!

3 Months!!!

I can't even believe it has already been 3 months!!! Today is his 3 month birthday so I took some pictures because he's getting so big!! Traxton wasn't really sure about him laying on him but I told him he better get used to it!! Traxton is a good big brother to Kellen, thank goodness!!

Kellen is getting to be so big now!! I can't wait till next month to see what he weighs and his height!! He's starting to interact so much more and is alert so muc more now!! He smiles ALL the time too!! We're still trying to get him to giggle he wants to so bad but won't!! He gets sooo excited but is silent! He does like to talk though sometimes and it's one of my favorite things about him!!! He is starting to realize he has hands! Last night we had him in his bouncer and he kept hitting the toys that dangle from it. Then i have caught him a few times just staring at his hand. It won't be moving he just holds it in front of his face and stares. It's really cute!! Anyway, here's some pictures of the big 3 month old Kellen!!!

Sleep Tight!!

So last Thursday night, Kellen slept 8 hours through the night in his bassinet!! The next night, again!! So Saturday night we decided to try him in his crib for the first time!! Both Kyle and I were nervous about everything of course and every sound we heard on the monitors made us more nervous, but again! He slept through the night!! His new routine is usually from about 12-8! This morning was the first night he only slept till 7 haha but then went right back to sleep and is still sleeping at 11:00. I'm so excited!! Anyway I just wanted everyone to know what an amazing baby we have!! :)

2 months!

Kellen had his two month appointment on the 8th! He is getting so big! He is 23.5 inches (75th percentile), 11 lbs 3 oz. (40th percentile) and his head is in th 23rd percentile!! Haha he got mommy's itty bitty head, poor guy! He also had to get his shots... it was extremely sad... i had to hold his arms down while two different nurses poked him in both his thighs, and his entire head just went bright bright red as he started crying! It breaks my heart to see him like that!! :( Good thing my little guy is tough!
We also just got a jogging stroller! Yay!! We went on a nice family run yesterday with the dog as well as the baby and the new stroller! The stroller was amazing i am soo glad we got it! Hopefully it will give me the motivation to start running...! Because whew am i out of shape!!
Trax is still doing great and still loving the baby too!! He sometimes gets bored of everybody paying attention to the baby and starts doing things for attention (like stealing the binky or socks) but hasn't chewed anything up lately so thats good. He does love the baby though, he is a very good big brother :) No longer does he come say hello to daddy first, he runs straight to the baby to say hello and THEN to daddy before mommy last (he loves his boys). It's been fun so far and we are still enjoying very much being parents!!

Kellen's Blessing (4/25/10)

Took me a while to write about this but on April 25 we had Kellens baby blessing! :) We had to do it really early because that was the only time Kyle's family would be out here for a while. His mom, dad, and brother were able to come for Kyle's graduation and Kellen's baby blessing.

Kyle did the blessing and it was so beautiful!! It was such a good day and Kellen was a great baby! Afterwards we had a fun lunch with all the families and friends who were at the blessing. We then had a graduation cake for Kyle so that was fun too.

Kellen slept the whole time at his own party haha but it was such a beautiful day to be able to grill outside and have the picnic outdoors. (Which is good because we woudn't be able to fit everybody in our house). Anwyay, it was a really good day and it was so much fun having all the family here and friends to be able to get together!! :)

So Stressed!!

Last night Kellen was up from 330 till almost 630 in the morning!! We didn't get to bed until one so i was already tired, he ate and had a huge poopy diaper that almost came out of his diaper onto his jammies, then he was WIDE awake for soo long!! I had a killer headache and was exhausted, therefore i was extremely emotional. I couldn't stop crying because he wouldn't go to sleep, so kyle started to get frustrated. Then i left and went into the baby room hoping not to wake kyle anymore so he could rest, but still couldn't stop crying. So at about 5 he came in and took over and i was so frustrated that i stormed out and went bawling to my bed. Kyle took it as me being mad at him (sorry babe) and went downstairs. I put in a cd of soothing music in kellens bedroom and went downstairs to get Kellen so kyle could sleep. He got upset again because i started getting mad saying i was never good enough, so i took kellen back in his room hoping to soothe him with the music and he still wasn't sleeping, so kyle came back in and started scratching my back but i was still upset so he asked to take him and i finally went to sleep for about a half hour before kyle brought kellen back in asleep and put him in his bassinet. After a few minutes his binkie came out and he started fussing again so needless to say i still didn't get much sleep..... then i slept in through yoga and it was the last day of yoga and that is my only time to get away so then kyle was leaving for work at noon and i said bye still half asleep. He left his phone here so i couldn't apologize for last night and he works a double today so he won't be back till late.... ugh!! So i wanted to go to the store to get some things and make a nice dinner for when kyle comes home but guess who can't get the car seat into the jeep?? Yep... me!! So i can't get to the store! And we haven't been grocery shopping for a while so we dont have much just lying around.... ugh!! I'm so stressed and just so blah today!!!!!!

Kellen is officially six weeks old now!! (as of yesterday) Here's a picture of him on his six week birthday!! He has his little smirk which mommy and daddy love!! He's getting so fun!! Yesterday he was starting to smile to different sounds and things i was doing which made me so excited! He's becoming such a happy playful little bugger and it is so fun!!
