Fun time with dad

Where has the time gone?

So much has happened this month. Some good, some bad.

Last week Kellan had his 4 month appointment. He is weighing in at a whopping 16 lbs 12 oz. He's a little over 25 inches too. All went well at that appointment.

Then about a week later, we were back at the doctors office to find out that Kellan had his first ear infection. I knew something was up when he cried throughout most of the night and he had a fever. I actually had to take him out of daycare because of his fever. He's doing much better now.

From this picture you can see that his bib is soaking wet because he has now started teething. There is one tooth coming in on the bottom, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him yet...keeping our fingers crossed.

He's loving solid foods now. He's tried sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes (makes lots of stinky diapers) and green beans. So far he's enjoyed all of them.

Here are some other random pictures of our little man.

One year ago...

One year ago we found out we were having a baby.

One year ago I was never so excited and scared at the same time.

One year ago I had so many questions that needed to be answered.

One year I knew our lives would never be the same.

We also started Kellan on rice cereal. Day one was very unsuccessful and day two was even worse. However, day three (today) he finished his entire bowl of cereal. The difference was, I took him from his Bumbo to his bouncy chair.

He has his 4th month appt Jan 14 and I'm very curious to know what he weighs. Those cheeks of his sure are looking full :)

What a great first Christmas

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. We spend all of this time shopping, decorating and baking and now it's another year away. We did the whole travelling Christmas again. The first half was spent with Tim's family while the second half was spent with mine.

I got lots of great things for Christmas, but by far the best thing I got was my gift from Tim and Kellan. It is a silver necklace with a figure in the shape of a mom and her child and it has Kellan's birthstone in it. It's so thoughtful and beautiful.

Kellan got lots of clothes and toys. I had to remove some of his old clothes from his closet to fit his new ones.

Mr. Kellan has been a pretty happy boy lately. He's even been sleeping through the night (minus last night :(

Mr. Talkative

Here is the conversation Kellan and I had this afternoon. Hope you can follow... :)

Here are some other pictures of Kellan learning to hold his head up. He gets so mad on his tummy because he gets so frustrated he can't hold his head up very long.

Little Turkey

That's what my little peanut was on Thanksgiving day...at least his hat said so. Kellan have a big holiday meeting lots of new relatives. He was passed off quite a bit on Thanksgiving day and didn't get much sleep so he was pretty cranky that night. He also got to meet a lot of my high school friends for the first time. Here are some pictures.
