Aquarium of the Bay

This past Saturday we went to the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco on Pier 39. We went with a great group of friends and had a wonderful time. It was so cute watching how curious Kellen was. His new thing is making elephant sounds. You can spot when he's doing it...look for that bottom lip sticking out! It was gorgeous day. The city was a buzz following the World Series Win, and we even did a little shopping along the Embarcadero afterward.
Enjoy the slide show of the pics!

Happy Halloween

We had such a wonderful Halloween this year. We went to three different events throughout the weekend. Our precious Yoda made a surprise visit to the Santa Rita Witches Delight Friday night. Santa Rita is the school where Grandmo Lane works. He loved looking at all of the other kids, the lights, and listening to the music. He was bright-eyed the entire time, with his legs kicking away showing his excitement.

On Saturday, we went to the Saratoga Witchy Walk-A-Bout in downtown Saratoga. Grandma Sue, Papa, cousin Rochelle, and cousin Dyllanie met up with us, and away we went trick-o-treating (well, Papa & Daddy went to The Bank (bar) to watch the Giant's game). We received so many compliments. I dressed as Princess Leia, and we were a great Dynamic Duo walking around!! We were even stopped by KSAR local TV and were interviewed for the news!!! Daddy dressed as a Jedi, but he didn't last long in his costume. Oh well. It was a fun time. I look forward to it next year!

I know, bummer shot of Kellen, but it's the only one taken with all three of us dressed up!

They had a cowboy stilt walker!



Then, on Sunday night, we went over to Grandmo & Grand Dad Lane's house to go trick-o-treating in their cul-de-sac. We just went to four houses, but it was great to see Kellen in his Yoda costume one last time.

Kellen at Six Months

Kellen (or should I say Butterball), tipped the scales at 20 pounds at his six month appointment. He is 27.5 inches long, and his head is 45 centimeters. All three categories put Kellen in the 90th percentile. Yes, we have a big boy on our hands!! He had four shots this time, and took them very well. He had two injections on each leg & when the doctor switched to the other leg, Kellen was back to smiling. He's a happy guy!!

Kellen also had his first cold last week! It was a real mild cold, but it included a runny nose, sneezing, a slight cough, and lethargy. He was still a happy guy though. He would sneeze, snot would go a-flyin', and he would just look at you with these half open eyes and smile. It was so sad, yet cute at the same time.

Kellen is also starting solid foods now!! YUMMY!!! He has tried rice cereal, bananas, apples, peas and sweet potatoes. Guess what his favorites are so far? The peas & sweet potatoes!! He hated the banana and apple. I'll keep trying those, he'll come to love them, I know it. Here are a few pics of him eating rice cereal for the first time. Such a silly boy!
