First Bath

Kellen got his first bath about a week ago (He is 3 weeks old today!! Where does the time go???) His belly button wasn't completely healed, but seems to be doing good. He is such a CUTE little baby, and so sweet. Yesterday, I swear he smiled at me for a while... love it! He is getting fussy at night, but it is par for the course, right?

Just some cuteness...

visit with Grammy!

Grammy was here visiting, a little over a week ago; but of course, time escaped me! S here are some pics:



We had alot of fun over that weekend, with lots of games played, good food made, naps were taken, and even some pretty christmas ornaments made! The kids had a wonderful time (and so did the adults!!)

I have started my walking regiment; getting out there every(?) day. I am also trying to be more conscious of what I am eating... not just to drop the baby weight, but to see what affects Kellen, too. He is definitely showing more typical baby qualities... fusing in the evening; not letting us eat dinner peacefully (whatever that is, right?!); and waking up frequently at night. Still, he is very sweet and I can't get enough of him! I love to have him sleep on my chest, and catch his little grins! Babies!

I am not sure what she is looking at, but she's cute!

Grandpa & Grandma & the kids

We headed up to the local state park, Lonepine, with Grandma and Grandpa... the kids had a great time and the weather was pretty decent. We hiked around and showed off the views. Soon, I hope to be hiking up the cliff trail, getting back in shape! I've got a long way to go (about 50 lbs!!) Wish me luck! Most has to do with diet, for sure! Damn you chocolate!!

who's who?

What kid is it? There is a picture of each, and an extra one of Kellen! Answers at the bottom... don't they all look alike?

Time with Papa and Granna

I forgot to put these pictures up of our time spent with my mom and dad aka Papa and Granna. We had a great time with them here, just waiting for Kellen to come. We were so happy to have them here and can't wait to see them again soon.

Monday

Monday is here. Little Kellen is almost a week old, and just as cute as can be. He is (so far) an easy-going little guy and adjusting quite well. He is loved by his big brother and sister a bunch. Ayla is always trying to help change diapers or hold him.... so cute.
However, Colton and Ayla have decided they want Daddy home all the time. He is setting a huge standard by playing with them ALL day without many breaks. Good thing they don't expect that from me! I don't know how he does it! But it is great - he is such a great dad. And it is beyond awesome having him home to help.
And the family that has come has been really nice. The house is clean all the time.

OH, and all the neighbors and their wonderful dinners! I think that is the best thing you can do for someone with a new baby. Not having to worry about dinner is fantastic. And the dinners have been absolutely delicious.
