Returning

I hoping to return to the world of blogging!  Stay tuned for a very pic heavy post in the near future!

School pics

So the school year has started again. This will be Makayla's last year at CMS. I can not believe it!  It is the last year that she and Kellan will be in the same school together until he starts kindergarten and that will only last for a year then.  I believe that is the only time they will ever be in the same school again.  How sad:(  I bet they won't think so. 

 

 

 

Scrapbook for Kellan

  

I am home sick this weekend while Nathan and the kids are visiting his grandparents in Oklahoma.  I decided it might be a good time to do some work on a scrapbook for my baby boy that is now 1 year old!

Kellan is an absolute doll.  I have never seen a baby that is just so content.  Maybe he is a little bit spoiled and possibly a big momma's boy, but he has been such a wonderful addition to our family.  I didn't even notice it as it was happening, but it just seems like he has just always been with us. 

He is trying to crawl, but he hasn't quite mastered the legs and arms at the same time.  It is precious watching him try though.  He loves to eat (hence the fact that he is 23 pounds and not even 9 months), the transition is going to be an easy one to table food because he eats anything that is put in front of him.  Kellan also got his first tooth today.  I guess that is why he has been more cranky than usual.

Siblings....

Makayla absolutely loves having a little brother.  I had no idea that she would be so happy not to be an only child.  She plays with him all the times and irritates him part of the time.  If he is not where she thinks he will be when she gets home from school she becomes very concerned that she can not find Kellan.  It is adorable.  Giving her a brother is one of the best things we ever did for that kid.

Last week I took Kellan for his 4 month wellness check-up. While she was listening to his chest she heard some wheezing, so she tested him for RSV. It turns out that he had RSV, and I didn't even know it. He ran no fever and had no breathing issues, so I just assumed he had a cold with a pretty bad cough. After the snow day I got to take two more days off work for sick baby. Nathan was able to stay home on Friday to keep him. He is feeling much better and is going back to daycare today since I am pretty sure that his ten days of being contagious are over. I'm pretty sure that he had this for about a week before we ever knew about it. It was seeming that he was not making any improvements and then all of the sudden he just stopped coughing almost all together.

Here is a sad, sick baby picture.
