The First Month

We have done our best to make sure and track Kellen's growth over the past month. With this being our first child we have been amazed at the weekly changes that have taken place.

At this point he wasn't too sure about sitting up and he also wasn't too sure about the character next to him.

Our sign kind of hides some of his body and so it makes it difficult to see how much he has grown but he has made it back to his birth weight and has started adjusting to the life of sleep, eat, play. His play time usually consists of about five minutes and then he falls asleep and starts the three hour cycle all over again. Man, what a tough life!

Although this large outfit hides his weight gain well, our visit to the doctor confirmed our suspicions -- K quickly shot passed his birth weight and gained two pounds since his first visit. Our doctor said that this was a little more than most boys but she was put a positive spin on it by saying she was encouraged and confident that he was getting enough to eat.

The end of the month resulted in enough head strength and growth so that he could be moved out of the corner for his picture. Although he couldn't sit up like this for a long stretch of time, we were impressed that he sat up long enough for us to snap some quick pictures.
