Life as Parents (3 1/2 months)

Kellen is now 3 1/2 months. Time is flying by so fast. I often look at him trying to find reminders of what he looked like as a newborn.

Kellen has kept his mellow temperment and is so fun to be around. He lights up a room, and has already learned how to work a crowd always being an absolute angel in front of company. Jeremy and I feel very blessed and lucky that Kellen is our son. He brings us so much joy, yet challenges us at the same time. As new parents often say, we can't imagine our lives without him.

As babies do, Kellen is constantly changing and doing new things:
*He cries different. That newborn cry is out the window...HELLO LUNGS!
*He almost has this holding the head up thing down. He gets lazy when sleepy, but who doesn't?
*He's a giggle monster (see video below)
*He loves to smile at everyone (his reflection too)
*He's a big boy! His weigh in from last week came in at 16lbs 4ounces!
*He is sleeping through the night. Often for 9-10 hour stretches
*He has transitioned to his crib in his own bedroom
*He loves music!
*He is working well with Grandma Sue & Grandmo during the day while I'm at work
*He loves gumming everything, and has a bit of a slobber problem.
*He startles easily (I wonder who he got that from? MOM!)
*He is so close to rolling over (but not quite)
*He is well aquainted with his hands, and is starting to discover his feet

There are many more, but this is a good start to the new things he has been and is about to start doing. We're looking forward to his milestones, but we know we will miss the current things too.

As promised in the below blog, we got video of Kellen giggling! It was a perfect ending to my day as today was my first day back to work. He's so cute!! I just can't get enough of that sound. Enjoy!

Speaking of my first day back to work, everything went fairly smoothly. Jeremy gets off work before me, and he said he came home to a happy little boy! Great job Grandma Sue!! As for me, I did surprisingly well. I had an enormous amount of email to keep me busy & focused, and I get to see Kellen on my lunch break. So, all in all, it wasn't as bad as I expected.
