Kellen is a month old and he has been BUSY!

I can't believe that a month has passed already! He has already grown up so much, everyday it is like we have a new baby because he changes so much. He is currently going through an interesting phase, it is like he is part infant, part teenager and part middle aged man...Yes, the dreaded baby acne has struck (right on schedule according to the experts in my baby books) and he has also started to lose his hair (also right on schedule) so he has the male pattern baldness look - he actually looks a little like the Padres Friar - and the new hair that is growing in is blonde and curly! Of course even with the bumps and the missing hair he is still the most adorable baby in the world!

Here is a picture from his birthday 10.28.08 awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
And here he is on his 1 month birthday grinning at Mommy!
And later on that day smiling during tummy time

Brandon's Grandpa is in town from Boston and has been having a good time getting to know his new great grandson. On Saturday we had a really nice afternoon at Balboa Park with the family. I was so proud of Kellen, we went out to lunch at the Prado and he slept the entire time! I did lots of scheming and planning to try and make that happen, and it worked. Every time he tried to doze off that morning I figured out a way to keep him awake, then I loaded him up with lots of milk right before we left and he ended up sleeping for almost 3 hours!

Here are a couple of great picture of Brandon, Kellen, Great Grandpa Briggs and Grandpa Charles

This was taken Thanksgiving night at Brandon's parents house. We spent the day at my Mom's and then headed over to Sandy and Charles for dessert (but everyone knows the real purpose of the visit was so that they could all go goooogooogagaaa over the baby)
Nona loves Kellen's outfit - he is wearing shoes for the first time!
Here are some more pictures from Thanksgiving at my Mom's. We had a great time, there was tons of good homemade southern food and it was so nice seeing everyone together. My Grandmother was still in town and my Aunt Angie and my cousins Perry and Luke were able to make it too.

I just want to end this post by saying that I am so thankful for my beautiful healthy baby boy and that I have such a wonderful husband and supportive family!
