Yeah, we still call him Baby Kellen.
“What’s that?” Everything is “What’s That?” He is so curious and will stop all books to ask about ALL of the details on the pages. And as you read to him, he will read aloud with you, reciting entire books. This is different from his brothers who would always just sit quietly for endless amounts of time listening to you read to them. Some of his favorite books right now are: Runaway Bunny, Blue Hat, Green Hat, Sheep In A Jeep, Little Toot, Hand Hand Fingers Thumb and Runaway Bunny.
Runaway Bunny, is just the cutest book and I think is so perfect for us. He loves to read it with me and snuggle with me and he even has two favorite bunnies “Momma Bunny and Baby Bunny”.
He sometimes sucks 3 of his fingers as he is going to sleep. And he sleeps in the big queen sized bed! The crib is gone now since he wouldn’t sleep in it (as a crib or converted to a toddler bed). So the youngest of the boys is sleeping in the biggest bed and the oldest of the boys is sleeping in the smallest! Finn is sleeping in a crib converted to a toddler bed, Riley is sleeping in the double bed and Kellen in the queen! I think that speaks volumes of Finn’s easy-going-ness!
“Pizza Pizza!” Every time the oven beeps (from the timer or to it being pre-heated) and now even when the microwave beeps, he shouts out “Pizza Pizza!!!” It is hilarious and adorable.
“I Win!” The boys started having competitions about who could get their buckles fastened the fastest and Kellen has quickly caught on…or mostly anyway, because it doesn’t matter what order he is, he still shouts “I Win!” and throws his hands up in the air whenever his buckles are clipped! (He also does it to his booster seat buckles at the dinner table!)
Drumming: We still have the formula canister drums we made from Riley’s 2nd birthday party. Kellen will grab two of them, put one under his arm and carry the other to either me or Todd and say “Drum, Drum!?!” and we will drum together and dance and march and stomp.
and he loves to wear the big drum too!
“Yep!” When you ask him questions he answers with the cutest little “Yep!”. Or also, “nope!”
His first word was momma. Yeah, I’m going to get a little mushy and nostalgic now, I love this sweet little boy SO much. I can’t remember him being this tiny. He is still however this snuggly! He still tucks his little arms in between us when I hold him. At bedtime he asks me to “hop in bed” and when I lay next to him, he wraps his tiny little arm around my neck and kisses me. I mean, talk about melting!
And how strong!! It was like he just had to see my face and look me in the eyes. Magical moment.
Aaaaand off to the doctor we went! What does the tiger say? Rooooooooaaaaaaar!
And the aftermath of giving him pens to draw with, we did alot of drawing on the paper, but he got is aaaaaalll over himself too!
No vaccinations at the 2 yr appt, score! They tested his eyes and think he has an astigmatism in his left eye, and that his ear tubes are starting to fall out. Here are his stats!
