July 1, 2006 - It's been a while since we've updated the site, but Kenneth is now 13 months old (almost 14 months) and he's doing a lot of new things! For one, he decided this week to start walking completely on his own!Yea!
Since Kenneth was 5 months old, he's been walking with assistance, but on Monday, he took more than two steps on his own and by today (Saturday) he's walking around like he's been doing it for months! He also knows how to play the piano and the recorder (flute-like thing).
We've finally got the pictures section again! After the server move, it took a while to get caught up with this last picture section, but I finally did it! Yea!
March 12, 2006 - We're just about ready to head off to Nana's house and I thought we would catch up a bit. There are new pictures from February and March. We're also about to head off for our grand adventure to Great Grandma Keller's in Myrtle Beach, SC!! We're very excited about it!
New things Kenneth's doing today:
- Almost walking... I know we thought he'd be walking last month, but he' so very close! He likes walking with just one hand and will actually let go and hold onto things. We still think it could be any day now.
- He's almost crawling. Ok, I still think he's going to skip this altogether and go straight to walking.
- Patty-Cake - loves to play this game. If you want to see him smile, just start clapping your hands and singing, "Patty-cake, patty-cake..."
- Clapping hands - he loves doing this.
- Pointing at things he likes and saying "Oooooooohhhhhhhhh".
- Baby-signing - can now say "more", "up", "food", and "hi".
That's it! We're off on vacation! More updates next weekend!!
February 12, 2006 - Well it's a new year and we're just now getting around to writing and putting pictures on the website! January and February have been updated in the pictures section.
We spent the majority of January being sick. All of us. Kenneth unfortunately got the most of it as he's still building his immune system. But we're all better now! He has been busy learning new things! Here's a list of new things that he's been doing this year!
- On February 5, Kenneth celebrated 9 months!
- Walking...well sort of. He loves walking around with Mommy and Daddy and well, anybody with two fingers and a little guidance.
- Still not crawling yet... but he sure does wiggle around pretty well. We're trying to work with him as much as possible with this.
- Soccer. Yes believe it or not, Kenneth loves to kick balls around when he's walking. Sometimes when he's sitting up too.
- Piano. Yes again, believe it or not, Kenneth loves to play on the piano. When he's in his walker, he goes right to the piano and starts playing.
- Roll the ball. This is a game he learned a week or two ago. If you sit down with him, he loves to play "Roll the ball"
- Peek-a-boo. This is one of his most favorite games. He even takes a cloth and covers his head and then throws it down when you say, "Wheerrrre's Kenneth?"
- Speaking. Has mastered the word "Dada", and sometimes "Kitty". We're working on "Momma."
- Baby-Signing. He has suprised us this week and has started signing "Milk" We expect more to follow very soon.
- Fine Skills - He's extremely good when we eat and he loves to pick up very small objects and feeds himself.
- Eating - He's now eating just about anything. We try to feed him now from what we are eating. Of course he absolutely loves any kind of meat (especially hot dogs) and most fruits.
That's about all I can think of now! Keep checking in with his pictures as we'll update them from time to time! Here's this month's most favorite pic.
December 17, 2005 - Well Christmas is almost here and it's been a couple of months since we've posted here. But we've been adding pictures as often as we can (November and December)! Kenneth now has six teeth, is sitting up on his own and is walking (well sort of). He has a walker and chases poor Princess around the kitchen.
He also prefers to walk (with the help of Mommy and Daddy) than sit. He still hasn't learned how to crawl yet, but we're working on it. Around November 1, he just started sort of talking. His favorite words are "Dada" and the sylabols of Kitty. Well at least that's what we think he says. Here's this month's favorite picture!!
October 9, 2005 - New pictures have been uploaded to August, September and now October 2005 Picture galleries. Also, as of last weekend, Kenneth now has two bottom teeth and is rolling over!! This weekend, he's just acting like he's been rolling over the entire time! Be sure to look at my favorite picture here.
October 2, 2005 - Been a while since last post, but Kenneth is growing up! He can now roll over, and even has two teeth!! We're working on adding pictures and new videos today, so hopefully they'll be updated and online soon!!
August 7, 2005 - Ok all the pictures I added last night are now organized. Descriptions & Comments?? No way! Well ok, we'll start working on those at a later date! Oh yeah, and you know what? Kenneth is now 3 months old! Yup on Friday the 5th, he turned three months old! Are we supposed to celebrate every month?
August 6, 2005 - New pictures added! Actually lots of them! Go see them here.
July 19, 2005 - A lot has been happening here! Kenneth had his second follow up visit to his doctor and he's grown quite a bit!! Go see his stats!
Also, we're starting to get some videos put together! Go see his latest video. This weekend, we're trying to get the rest of the raw footage edited and put on the Internet. Plus I want to get all of his latest pictures up also!!
June 11, 2005 - Kenneth slept through the night for the first time two nights ago. He also slept through the night last night also! Yeah for Kenneth, Mommy and Daddy!!
June 7, 2005 - The past two weeks have just been a blur for Mommy and Daddy! Kenneth is almost sleeping through the night. He wakes up typically around 4am for his feeding. We've gone through several firsts; first walk, first bath, etc... Oh and Kenneth has been moved to his own room!! New pictures have been added to Kenneth's photo gallery!!
May 21, 2005 - I finally got Kenneth's first video encoded and uploaded to the website! For the low bandwidth version, click here. For the high bandwidth version, click here.
May 20, 2005 - This week, we've been doing great! We went to church for the first time on Sunday and just did fantastic! Kenneth slept through the entire service! On Thursday, we also all (Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma) went to Daddy's rotary meeting so he could show Kenneth off! On Friday, we went to our two week checkup with the doctor and did just great! Kenneth has gained weight and height! Go here to see his stats.
May 14, 2005 - We've had a few firsts in the past couple of days! We had our first walk in our new stroller. Of course Mommy couldn't go very far (or fast for that matter) so we only went down the block four houses or so.
Also, we went on our first tour of the backyard. Kenneth got to see his play areas and gardens. This is the first time we've been out back. We also stayed a while on the back patio under the gazebo! We all enjoyed it very much as it was not too hot and not too cold outside.
May 12, 2005 - Tara's well on her way back to recovery! She saw the doctor yesterday and he said she could do what she feels like she can do(except run up and down the stairs)!
Plus Kenneth had his first pediatric appointment and he checked out perfect!! So we're all doing well. We want to thank everyone for the great cards, plants and gifts we've received. We did a lot of praying the past week and He's answered a lot of prayers.
May 10, 2005 - Everyone is doing well today! Tara's feeling much better than yesterday. Kenneth is eating, sleeping, and pooping really well! Daddy's just trying to keep up with everyone! We've all been sleeping relatively well. Last night we only woke up twice, once at 1am and 5am to eat. Kenneth definitely likes to sleep (just like his Mommy). We all agree that he has Tara's nose and mouth while having his Daddy's expressions and chin. Well, that's all to report for now. :-)
May 9, 2005 - Kenneth's pictures are up on the Internet. To see them, click here.
