Kellen is 1 Month Old!

I took Kellen in today for his 1 month well visit.  After the nurse weighed and measured him, she marked everything on the growth chart to get his percentiles and when she did she said “well, if I did this right, then he is a very large baby!”.  Ha!  Yes, he is a Lakes baby!  All 5’2” of me makes large babies!  OK, maybe TODD has something to do with it…..

Age	Weight	%	Height	%	Head	%
Birth	8lbs 8oz		21”
5 Days	8lbs		21”
1 Month	11lbs 9.5oz	90th	22.875”	95th	15.25”	90th

Kellen’s belly button finally fell off (longest lasting and grossest belly button by far of the three boys!) and so he finally upgraded to the baby tub!  He also got an awesome monster hooded towel like his big brothers.  And after his bath, he had some serious Krazy Klown hair!

 

He loves story time!

 

He’s enjoying his playmat!

But daddy’s work is very boring!

And he went to his first neighborhood jazz concert!

So far, life is good!

Happy Easter!!!

Saturday morning we suited up and headed out to our annual neighborhood eater egg hunt!  The weather was super blah, cool, foggy and misty and everything was soaked from an over night rain.  But there were lots of kiddos and FUN!

Kellen in his Easter outfit, he LOVED it!

 

Eater basket in hand, he was ready to hunt some eggs.

 

Go Go Go Go Go!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Before going to bed, Finn and Riley put out a bowl of water and some carrots for the Easter Bunny!  So cute! 

The Easter baskets and a couple of half eaten carrots!  Books, cars, plates and eggs filled with candy and money!  Thank you Eater Bunny!

The boys digging into their loot!

Happy Easter!!!

Mr. Kellen Goes To The Zoo

We had such a good night, that I decided I was brave enough to head to the zoo with the boys….and grandma of course!  :)  It was a GORGEOUS morning, perfect for the zoo, it wasn’t too crowded, we actually ran into some friends there and everyone behaved very well!  A success for Kellen’s first trip to the zoo!

This picture is so perfect for my boys!!!

 

And another try….

Grandma, Riley, Finn, Miss Sara, Lila and Kellen watching the meerkats!

Rhino!

Riley and Lila watching the Rhino!

This giraffe was using its super long and sticky tongue to eat the leaves from the tree.  The boys thought this was HYSTERICAL!

And this is the first time I’ve seen the baby panda out playing!  5 months old!  Sooooo cute!

And Kellen’s first train ride!  Chooo Choooo!

Little Feet

Now that Kellen is here we needed to add his foot prints to the canvas hung in his room.  He was born with ENORMOUS feet and we were worried they wouldn’t fit.  But we also kept forgetting to actually get them painted and on the canvas.  The paint is in the big boys room (HIGH up on a shelf that even I can barely reach) and then there is the always sleeping baby.  So at the end of each day, I’d remember that I’d forgotten to get the paint out of the boys room before putting them to bed….or the baby would be sleeping all day and we couldn’t paint.  And with each week that passed, and his feet just getting bigger and bigger, I kept getting more nervous they wouldn’t fit!  Finally the stars aligned and we got everything together!  I think he actually liked the paint on his feet, little smiles appeared on his face!  So cute!  And they fit!

 

Napping Napping Napping

Papa loves to nap, and the boys love to nap with him! 

Just love finding them like this!

Baby Kellen gets a snuggle in too!
