 Kelen is getting around like a superstar.  At 7 months he started to pull himself around.  Now he has a really fast army crawl going on.  He can also get up on his hands and knees and he is climbing over anything low enough to the ground that he can get on.  He is trying to pull himself up on things, but isn't quite there yet.  He does like it when we stand him up and help him stay on his feet.

 He also got his 2 bottom teeth at 7 months.  Now his two top teeth are coming in.  He has one showing and the other isn't too far behind.  He loves to eat!  He is going to be a good eater like his biggest brother, Asher.  He still loves formula in his bottle but is loving eating baby food and rice cereals.  He also loves trying what we are eating even though he can't chew it.  Once he gets his hands on our food he doesn't let go!

 He got sick about a month ago.  He was really warm and was throwing up and had diarrhea.  He had a really bad rash for a few days too.  Poor baby boy.  He was a trooper.

 He loves his siblings and playing with them.  Though sometimes he is afraid of Emmet since Emmet hasn't perfected being gentle.  But they will be the best of friends as they grow up.  They already love seeing each other in the morning.  It's like they have been apart for a week and now found each other again, it's super cute and make my heart happy.  He loves being held and having attention.  He is a wiggler though.  He won't sleep anymore when we go places because he wants to see what is going on around him.  He sometimes has to be sitting up when we feed his bottle to him so he can see what's happening.

 He takes one nap a day.  He and Emmet usually sleep around the same time which is AWESOME!  He sleeps through the night.  He is a great sleeper, which I am grateful for.  He's a happy baby.

We are sure glad that he is our little boy!  We love him so.
