Videos and more pictures!

Real funny, daddy


Put that tongue back in your mouth...


I love to watch TV

Go ahead and talk...it's a commercial


I'm ready for my walk, mom!







That last picture is my favorite. I haven't put a hat on Kevin since he was 3 weeks old. I love his hair and never want to cover it up. Today it was too cold for a walk without a hat...and I LOVED him in it. It made his eyes look so blue (we're hoping they stay blue!) and his little cheeks look chunky. He's too cute for words!

Ben brought Kevin up to work today to see me so I decided to weigh him. Our little chunky monkey gained 7 oz in a week. At this rate he'll gain about 2 lbs before his 4 month check up. They weren't joking when they said he'd make up for lost times.

Enjoy the videos.... One of them is hard to see but you can hear Kevin talking to Ben. I think it was like midnight when this conversation took place. The other is mine and Kevin's time together on Saturday morning. I let Ben sleep in and I get up and take care of Kevin. We have so much fun...if he stays awake!

Roll Over, Kevin!!!

Big boy Kevin learned to roll over this weekend!!!! He's so proud of himself. He's on his back for all of 10 seconds now before he ends up on his tummy....and then on him tummy for a while before he rolls over to his back. It's so cute watching him. He really works hard.

His pictures turned out great. We loved our photographer and she got some great shots of him. We bought more than we usually do because we couldn't decide what we wanted. We bought Target's "smile station" so we'll be able to view them online later this week. I hope to be able to post them....

Ben surprised me this weekend with beautiful roses for Valentine's Day. He took me out to dinner Friday night and we had a wonderful time. Thanks, G-mama and Aunt LeeLee for watching Kevin!!!

We're buying diapers!!!!!

We are officially diaper purchasing parents! Not too bad for having a 3 month old. We had so many diapers from showers and gifts we received from family and friends. The shelf in his closet that once held about 20 packs of diapers now holds one lonely pack.

We've also cleaned out all his 0-3 month clothes. He's becoming such a big boy!

Appointment Details

Kevin's check up went good today. He only weighed 12 lbs 14 oz and was 24 1/2 inches. That is 50% for his weight and 70% for his height....way down from last month but we have reflux to blame for that! Normally a baby gains 1/2 to 1 ounce per day - that would mean Kevin should have gained 15-30 oz since his last appointment....he only gained 17 - so he was right at the low end of the scale. She assured us that as he gets used to his medicine and new cereal/formula bottles - he should gain lots of weight before his 4 month check up.

Everything else was good - he is right where he should be in his development. And of course his cute little self got to talk to everyone in the clinic and show off. We went to church tonight and when I picked him up from the nursery every baby was crying...except Kevin! My mom was in nursery tonight and she said Kevin would talk to the babies that were crying. I was shocked that he didn't have a complete melt down being around 9 crying babies but he did great! We're so ready for daycare....well, Kevin is - not sure if mom is ready yet ; )

Delayed Appointment

Our 3 month appointment has been rescheduled to Wednesday at 2:30. Our pediatrician's mom is very ill and she needed to leave the office early today.

I'll post his measurements tomorrow.....

3 months old

I can't believe 3 months ago today we were at the hospital having Kevin! Time has gone by so fast and Kevin is getting so big. He woke up 2 times last night because he has figured out how to role over onto his back....and we all know that this baby refuses to sleep on his back - so he wakes up crying. Of course, he only cries for a few minutes until daddy picks him up and then all is right with the world. Some may call that spoiled - we call it adorable!!!

Our fun weekend

We had a wonderful weekend! We gave Kevin back his 6 oz "night night" and "good morning" bottles and he is loving it and best of all....keeping them both down! He goes in for his 3 month check up tomorrow and I'm sure he's over 13 lbs.

Ben and I went shopping this weekend and loved the wonderful (and unseasonable) weather we had - 70 degrees in February..you can't beat that! We went to church yesterday where Kevin showed off in the nursery what a big boy he can be. I love picking him up and seeing him so happy. He then proceeded to show off his talking and laughing skills to several other people. He was passed around to everyone...and had something to say to each person that held him. He's just so much fun. We also introduced books to Kevin this weekend and we were shocked at his response. He LOVES books : ) He talks to the pictures, kicks his feet and waves his arms everywhere....it's too cute. With his reflux we had to sit him up for 30 minutes after he eats - so now we read to him during those 30 minutes.

I'll post his measurements after his appointment tomorrow. No yucky shots this time...yay!
