Under the Weather

This is Kellen's new trick to do in his Jolly Jumper..he holds both legs up and just sits there while the Jolly Jumper swings around....yippee!!

Kellen practicing sucking his right thumb..it turns out that it is not as yummy as his left thumb...he has since gone back to the left!

Here is Kellen hanging out with mommy yesterday in his PJ's and lion slippers...he looked so cute in his long PJ's!

Kellen rolling around on his playmat.

Kellen finding mommy very amusing! I was actually trying to cut his fingernails and everytime I grabbed for his hand, he would squeal and try to roll over...I guess this is fun to him!

Kellen has been feeling a bit under the weather these past 2 days. We thought it was that he was teething (and he is...you can now feel his tooth through the gums...it just has to pop out now!)...but it appears that he caught Shawn's cold. He woke up yesterday very stuffy, congested and sneezing. He was super mellow yesterday and had a bit of a rough night last night. However, it is amazing how babies can still have lots of fun while sick...hence, the pictures!


A couple of Kellen updates: He has been eating solids for about a month now...overall, it is going very well. He loves all his cereals (rice, oatmeal and wheat) and loves all orange veggies (sweet potato, carrots and squash). He also loves bananas and peaches. However, he has hated his green veggies (avocado and green beans)...he actually gags, cries and refuses to swallow them....it's actually pretty funny to watch. That is all we have tried so far...we'll keep you posted!
Also, Kellen is doing very well at moving around...he is now rolling from his tummy to his back, and from his back to his tummy...he is also able to use his arms and legs to push himself around the floor...so basically, he is moving everywhere! He also has super strong legs for standing...he barely needs you to help him stand!
Finally, he is FINALLY starting to sleep through the night!!!! About every 4-5 days, he wakes and needs me to go in to help sooth him back to sleep, but other than that, he sleeps 10-12 hours/night all by himself!!! However, getting him to sleep remains a battle...he refuses to go down without a fight...and a fight it is. It usually takes Kellen 1-2 hours to settle down...yikes for Mommy and Daddy! We will keep you posted on whether this ever changes by his 18th birthday!
