The Homestretch

On March 28, my biggest man, Kellan turned 11 months old. How are we here already? How did this past year pass so fast?!

A lot has happened in the last month with Kellan's development. Here is a word list:)

dah- dog
hahhh- hi
cahhh- car
gook- book
plah plah- splash splash
gurrr- yogurt
uh-uh- uh-oh

Those are the audible words. The other things he says he will say if we work with it on him for a couple minutes. He tries really hard to say everything we tell him to. Which is a good thing, because he is VERY vocal:)

A couple of cool things have happened this month. Kellan took his first steps attempting to get me from his Grammy! He isn't fully walking yet but he totally can! The other night he was walking from me to Duane and decided he didn't want Papa afterall, so he just went around him and kept on walking. He totally can, he would just rather speed crawl:)




Much to my dismay, Kellan hated baths and the swimming pool. He would cry and was really uncomfortable, kind of like putting a baby on grass for the first time. He just didn't know how to feel about the water. Through swim lessons, he has become reallllly confortable and will even splash in the water, reguardless of if he knows it will get in his eyes.


This isn't really exciting, but he LOVES pasta, but I mean is that any surprise, he is my child after all:)


Some other things are that he can clap, wave, sign "more" and "all done" and blow kisses! He has mastered going up the stairs and down, he is doing really well, but I still stay right next to him, just in case he loses his balance. He is a sweet, cuddly, mama's boy, sometimes sensitive, sometimes crazy, and makes THE funniest little noises. He will do these little growls when something makes him happy. Seriously, adorable! Duane and I just look at him and say,"Could you be any cuter?!" He loves his big borther and follows him all around the house. Kade loves having a little brother and fully take advantage of thr attention Kellan gives him:) We have one more month till one year old and I cannot believe it has been sneaking up on us so fast. Expect the next Kellan post to be one full of sentiment and boo-hooing:)
