Hello everyone,
I just realized how long it has been since I have posted anything on Kellen's blog....ooops! I have been super busy at work so I haven't had a chance to keep up with his blog. But, fear not....I will do so now!
So, what has Kellen been up to lately? Sooooooo much!
Last weekend, we took Kellen and his best friend, Caden, to have their pictures taken with Santa...it was a huge disaster! They both started crying before we even got them on his lap...needless to say, they were bawling by the time the picture was taken. I would have loved to get a copy of the picture (as I think I could have won some money for funniest picture with Santa), but you had to buy a package and they are super expensive!
Kellen is really into extremes lately. He will be so super cute and cuddly and then, he is having a complete meltdown. On the positive side - he will stroke your arm or face and say "nice" and will give you lots and lots of hugs and kisses. He loves to just sit with you for storytime, and if you tell him that you are tired, he will sit beside you and rub your back and say "night-night - shush"....so sweet, it just melts your heart! On the flipside - he is totally starting to show his independence with what I like to call "the baby devil" phase. If he gets frustrated or doesnt' get what he wants, he will scream and straighten out his whole body in rage and/or throw anything that he can find. If you aren't pulling out your hair, you kind of want to laugh (but don't dare!). I guess we are entering the discipline time of parenting...yeah.
Kellen is sleeping like a champion again (insert Rocky music here!). For the past month or so, Kellen has been going to sleep without any problems (I mean complete silence when we leave him in his crib) and sleeps the whole night (or pretty close to the whole night). We haven't had this since he started daycare (as he was so sick forever!)...I must say, it is sooooo nice to sleep again!
Kellen loves to talk. He is really good at putting two words together now. He will grab your hand and say "come wi me"; or after a meal he says "all done"; or if he breaks something (ie: our Christmas tree decorations) he will say "I broke it". He is also saying lots of new words and really understanding his words now. If I say, "Kellen are you thirsty?", he will say "Yeah...juice". Or if you ask if he wants food, he will say "Yeah, eat-eat". He also loves to point things out when we are outside like moon, sun, trees, hills, lights, cars, etc. It is lots of fun!!!
He is still totally into kitty-cats and dogs. He loves to jump (and can totally get right off the floor); he is still a dancing machine (more like a jumping machine); he is still totally into the show, Four Square, and is starting to get into "Dora the Explorer". He loves Baby Tylenol; He loves to feed his fish (although, as of this morning, 2 of the 3 have died :( ); he hates to wear his mittens and so I have had to order mitten clips for him; he insists on getting the mail everyday.....oh and....
He has become the pickiest eater on the face of this earth!!! Ever since he got sick in September, his appetite has become that of a 1 month old baby, and he has become so picky, that my hair is turning grey just talking about it! Everything he used to love, he now hates. He will literally eat 1 little piece of chicken and a couple of pieces of fruit and potatoes (or corn) and push it all away....I really hope this phase comes to an end soon!!! Grrr!!!
And on a final note....I love Kellen more and more every single day!!! I am totally loving this phase of his life - he is so much fun to be with!!!
