Seven Months Old

Kellen turned seven months old on July 3rd. The picture was taken on that day, but I'm late posting this for a very good reason. We were in Alaska on July 3rd! More on that later. I had to post several of the photo attempts. Love this first one - his special smile for Jenna.
Oops, he realized the blocks were there. Reach!!
Got it!
So proud of himself!
Jenna at seven months. Doing the same thing. Hmm . . .
He weighs 19.8 lbs and is 27 inches. I took the sleeping picture because I just love how he still likes to sleep with his hands clasped by his face. We have a few sonogram pictures with his hands up by his face kind of like this. He's getting so good at sitting up and playing with toys. We sit a little bin of toys in front of him and he loves to pick a toy out, play with it for a while, then pick another toy out, play with it for a while, etc. On the last night of the trip, we noticed Kellen found his pacifier in his sleep and put it back in on his own! He slept through the night that night, and the next two.So, he's slept through the night 3 times!! What an accomplishment! And, after two months of eating solid foods, he has finally gotten the hang of opening his mouth for the spoon (we used to have to kind of maneuver it in, or catch him with his mouth open). (See video 2413.)

Thirty Weeks Old

Thirty weeks old today - the last of the "weeks" pictures! Finally got his picture outside, but we had to do it quick. Earlier this week, Jenna was raking (she loves to rake) while I brought some things inside from the car. Then I heard her start crying. I guess the mama hummingbird thought Jenna was too close so she dived at Jenna. Jenna went running and tripped. Poor girl.
Today, we also enjoyed a visit from Aunt Barbara!
