Yummy Eclairs!!!

Okay...naturally, the pictures came out in reverse-chronological order (grrrr!!!), but this is what happened.....

Kellen saw the yummy eclairs that Shawn and I bought a couple of weeks ago and went nuts trying to have some (he gets this obsession for chocolate from Shawn!)...so, here are some pictures of Kellen sharing a huge and delicious eclair with Shawn...and making a huge mess...and eating the cloth (thinking that it will clean his face - check out the cream right up his nose!!)...and just plain old enjoying himself!!!

Closing his eyes and truly enjoying the experience of eating this delicious treat!! He was so funny...he would take a bite, or stick his finger into the cream, and immediately say "More! More!" while doing his weird hand clapping thing he does while saying "More! More!"

SMILE!!

Kellen continues to LOVE giving this beautiful smile of his! Whenever you say, "Smile for the camera!", he will squint his eyes and make this face! It is so funny to watch!

And again.... (by the way, don't you like how Kellen wraps his shirt around his waist when he gets hot from playing??!?)

...and yet again...I love this face!!!

Too distracted to smile...he sees Yo Gabba Gabba on the television!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Okay...so, all of these pictures are in reverse chronological order (and there are ALOT of pictures...enjoy!!).....so, while we were in Brockville, Kellen spotted a couple of squirrels and became obsessed with watching them.....here is Kellen and Shawn looking for the squirrels.

Kellen also loves to help out while you are baking or cooking. So, Lita thought it would be fun to make some cookies with Kellen....here he is showing Lita how the cookies are baking (and smelling soooo good!).

"I can see the cookies!"

Helping Lita put the cookies on the baking tray (I told you that the pictures were out of order!)

Showing Grandpa a new little trick to do while playing with some baking cups...I think Grandpa was very intrigued by this information!

Kisses for Lita! Kellen is super affectionate now...he loves to give hugs and kisses! He also loves to share with people (unless it is a fellow little person, in which case, he will fight you for a toy!).

Here is Kellen getting crazy tickles from Lita...he was laughing so hard, that you had to laugh along with him!

More tickles!!!! (ignore the big red dot on his chin...he was enjoying some candies and with all the laughing, came lots of drooling...hence, the big red dot!).

Kellen had a blast playing hide-and-seek with Grandpa! The funniest thing was that he would keep going right back to the same spot (behind the chair, in case you can't see him!) and want Grandpa to count to 5 and find him again...very funny!

Some quiet time with Grandpa while working on a puzzle together.

Yummy! Having some icecream with Lita!

Great-Grandma enjoying the present that Kellen gave her...a calendar and a memory book of her great-grandchildren!

Everyone being entertained by Kellen (I think he was telling us a really funny story while doing some weird dance moves on the floor!)

Great-Grandpa helping Kellen perfect his hockey moves!

Loving the puzzles that he received at Christmas....here he is slowly walking to Lita to do a puzzle together.

Getting some lovings from his Great-Grandpa (aka: Santa!).

Grandpa loving the book of memories that Kellen gave him for Christmas!

I think Lita loves her book too!!

Great-Grandma, Dima and Ken hanging out on Christmas morning!

Playing with a toy in the basement.

Checking out a new toy - good old Etch-A-Sketch!!!

Opening his presents on Christmas morning!! He really didn't get the concept of Christmas, but this year he enjoyed opening (or tearing!) the paper off of his presents!

Bringing teddy bear down to open presents in the morning.

On Christmas Eve, we went to our annual Christmas celebration with Shawn's family. We had an amazing turkey dinner at Aunt Cindy's place and then got to open some presents!! Here is Kellen enjoying some time with Daddy and Alyjah.

Checking out a picture of Cameron (our new little nephew!) ...the little guy in the picture frame is Alyjah as a baby!

Some playtime between cousins...

Trying to get all the boys of the house to pose for a picture....hmm-maybe next year!?!?

Loving some Fruit Loops!

Daddy helping him to put his pants on while Grandpa makes him laugh!!

Completely mesmorized with a trick that Alyjah was doing...Kellen can't seem to ever get enough time with his big cousin!!!

Playing hide and seek with Alyjah...Kellen kept trying to look over the side of the window while yelling "Alyjah!!" (it sounds more like "LyLa")!

Kellen kept looking in the cupboard when Alyjah would come looking for him...I think he was contempleting whether or not he could hide there!


Here is Kellen just hanging out and pointing to the television...I think "Yo Gabba Gabba!" was on! His favourite!!!


Kellen is really, really into pickles right now! So much so that he wanted a picture taken of a pickle! Enjoy!


Kellen being a lion..."ROAR!!!!"

Kellen Feeding Himself!

Kellen really enjoys feeding himself with utensils. He really doesn't eat very much without a fork or spoon. However, he still hasn't quite mastered using a spoon to eat liquid-like foods (ie: yogurt!). Here is Kellen feeding himself and Shawn some yogurt! As you can see, half the yogurt didn't quite make it into his mouth! Needless to say, he is still always so proud when he feeds himself!

He didn't stop until all the yogurt was gone!

Kellen loves to join Shawn for a bowl of Cheerios in the morning. Here he is feeding himself some cereal and milk!

....going in for some more yummy cereal!

Kellen loves to get piggy-back rides down the stairs. If we are upstairs and getting ready to go down the stairs, sometimes Kellen will say "back - back!" and that means he wants to jump on your back for a piggy-back ride! Here are Shawn and Kellen making their way down the stairs to play!

....still holding on!!!
