October-November

Kael has been so busy lately. He is working on crawling, gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Very cute. He hasn't met any fruits or vegetables that he doesn't like so far. In fact he loves fresh peeled bananas-ate half on mommy's one day. At his 6mo check up he weighed 17lbs, 7oz (50th %), was 24in (75th %) and has a tiny head-25th %. Kael is developing such a personality. He will squeal in delight to get your attention, entertains himself and even cracks himself up. He rolls all over the floor to get to where he would like to be-he is constantly on the go. It won't be long and his chubby thighs will be worn off. He brings us so much joy, I have no idea what we did before we had him to entertain us. I love my fishbowl!

So worn out.

Mommy's favorite kind of laundry.

All wrapped up.

Are you talking to me?

I have the chubbiest cheeks. (10/3/2009)

We are growing by leaps and bounds. At his 4 month appointment he weighed 15 lbs, 2oz and was 25 in. both in the 50th percentile. Guess he is just about average. He has started eating cereal and loves it. He loves to spend Saturday and Sundays with dad watching football. He is quite the TV watcher. Overall he is a very laid back baby and puts up with just about anything and goes just about everywhere with mom and dad.

This is how Kael sleeps.

I am a football fan!

Gonna be a ball player.

In dad's stinky golf hat-I am a cutie.

Ready for my 1st eating experience

Handsome boy!

It's been awhile...

We are all still adjusting to mom being back at workand hoping a new job will come soon that I don't have to work nights. Dad enjoys some one on one time with the little guy though. I think that we are working on getting a tooth on the bottom. We chew on our fingers lots and there is always drool coming out of his mouth. BUT, he is always happy. He has started giggling, it is the best sound in the world. I am hoping to get video recorded and get it posted for all to hear.Enjoying my exersaucer, with drool all over my face. Hope that tooth gets here soon.

Smiles for the camera. Such a happy guy.

Looking like a stud in his soccer outfit.

Enjoying tummy time.

Going to the lake-we didn't get to use it though.

Ready for Daddy's softball game

Busy growing and being cute.

This last few weeks has been quite busy. We went to the Vlasin family reunion in Nebraska City to see all of the relatives. It was a long day but Kael was so good-even with minimal sleep. Also this last week mom went back to work. It was very difficult to leave the little man behind, but we all made it through. Kael has developed a love for standing. He doesn't like to sit or lay flat, he prefers to stand up and look around the world. Each day he coos and chatters more. He is sharing his smile more every day and is recognizing people. He is busy growing...I can't believe that we are coming up on 3 months already. Time flies, I am not real sure what I did with my time before he was born.Sporting my shades. Too cute.

Playing in the exersaucer-he loves it because he can stand up.

I love my ducky

Hanging out in my "Bumbo". Daddy says practicing having my arm around "my girl" someday.
