I feel better now!




Kellen was not feeling well these past couple of days...whenever he ate, he would throw up and then continue to spit up for an hour afterward. He had no energy and only had one wet diaper all day....not good. The good news is that he kept all his milk down since last night and after lots of sleep with mommy, Kellen seems in better spirits today! He is eating well and enjoying himself again!
Is it me, or does Kellen look like he has gotten taller? He looks so long to me lately...we'll find out how tall he is on Friday!
Can I just point out that the last picture posted is just too cute for words! Look at that smile...it just melts my heart!

Foot Size...have my feet grown?



Here are pictures taken of Kellen comparing his foot size to Shawn's foot size...the first picture was taken when Kellen was 2 weeks old..the second picture was taken when Kellen was 3 1/2 months old....any difference? I'm not sure I see much of a change, except for colour of his feet and his ability to now move his toes! However, look at how small Kellen is in the first picture? Ahhh!!

Kellen Playing on his Mat






Again, Kellen seems to be changing and growing on a daily basis. Lately, he has continued to show signs of teething..he constantly has drool all over his face and clothing! He also loves (and seems to need) to have his hands in his mouth...or anything else he can find! He also continues to make lots of new noises. He has learned how to sigh and to squeal...and he can squeal right in the middle of a crying fit (I can already picture my future in a store with Kellen doing this new noise and me dying of embarassment!). He is also getting much better at trying to roll over...if he's on his back, he can roll onto his side! He was able to roll from his tummy onto his back, but he forgot how to do this, so he just keeps kicking his legs up in the air while lying on his tummy hoping that something happens!

Cousin Parker's Baptism






This past weekend (on Father's Day!) Parker had his baptism in Brockville. Parker was so cute and so well behaved...he walked to the church all by himself (well, with some help from mommy and daddy), played with the hymn books, and loved touching the holy water!

I can roll over!


Is this the face of someone who doesn't want to go to sleep or what!

Kellen hanging in his new chair that his cousin Parker lent him! He is such a big boy now...sitting up with no help! Notice he still loves to suck and bite on his hands, wrists and fingers...one day he will find that thumb!

"Hi mommy! I love tummy time now!!!"




Here is Kellen playing on his playmat...notice that he can lift his head way up in the air while doing tummy time!





Here is a video (a very quick video!) of Kellen rolling over...he did it for the first time today..mommy is so proud of him!





My Trip to Brockville






Kellen and I went to Brockville for a couple of days to visit with Grandpa and Abuelita. We had so much fun hanging out and relaxing! Kellen couldn't believe how nice and quiet it was for his naps! Kellen got a chance to show his grandparents all the fun things he does during his day...talking, having books read to him, playing on his playmat, kicking up a storm in the bath, looking at his Abuelita's flowers and yes, screaming and fussing like no other baby can each time it was time to sleep!

Here is Kellen finally meeting Janique's little boy, Travis. Travis was born 1 week before Kellen! What a great visit...just the boys all hanging out with a bunch of mommies!


Before we came home to Toronto, we stopped in for a quick lunch with Uncle Garrett and cousin Parker. As you can see, Parker was very interested in Kellen! It was really funny to see how much Parker just looked at Kellen and wanted to touch him (and at one point, stick his fingers in Kellen's mouth!).

Here is Kellen hanging out with Grandpa and Abuelita before bedtime...he just loved being in Brockville and getting a chance to be with his grandparents!
