Everything with us is great. Since the Fourth of July, we've been on a week long vacation to Newport Beach, we had our house landscaped, Jeremy got a great promotion at work, and Kellen has sure kept our hands full.
Kellen is doing new things each and everyday. I often will be surprised with a new word or task he can do. The other day while changing him, he tapped me on the elbow while saying the word. It's amazing how quickly he picks up things, then not only be able to speak the word, but understand what it means. Watching this little guy grow in that regard is absolutely mind-blowing. While his vocabulary is excellent for his age, he definitely understands more than he can speak. Commands like "go sit on your mat," he simply goes & does. A recent funny story involves Jeremy warning Kellen to not stand on the couch, and if he does it again he's going to get time out. Kellen of course stood again. Jeremy asked him if he wanted timeout. Kellen said, yes. Then Jeremy said ok - go get in your corner. And sure enough, Kellen calmly walks to his timeout corner and sits down. This kid is too much!
Often people ask me how our sitter situation is going, and so far it's been over a year since I've been back to work, and I feel it's working out beautifully. Both grandmothers are loving their quality time with Kellen, and I'm happy that 5 days a week he's within minutes of my work & am able to go see him each day on my lunch hour. This includes Fridays where he goes to a friend's house and is able to play with her kids, and I love that he's making friends and learning how to socialize with other children.
Here are some random pics from the last couple months...
