Kaelem with cousins, Jen, Sherri, Abi, his great aunts, Sally and Sharon, and with Grandma Sylvia, and Mom in Eugene.

Kaelem had a busy week. On Wednesday he, mom, grandma, and aunt Sharon went to visit Great aunt Sally and Don in Eugene. We had a chance to have lunch at the Hakkos and visit with Sheryl, David, Jen, and Sam. It was exciting for everyone to meet him, and as always great to see everyone.

On Saturday, Kaelem's cousins, Erin and Kaysi came to visit. Of course, he enjoyed watching a great husky game too! Go Dawgs may be some of his first words...

On Monday, we tried out the jogger stroller that Krista gave us. It worked perfectly, so we went on our first walk. Hopefully it will make its way out of the garage more often. That is once Mom starts getting more sleep. Kaelem has really been cranky due to colic. It will hopefully pass. Please keep your fingers crossed for all of us!!!

Kaelem celebrates one month!

He sure has a lot of curls after his bath

Kaelem is so relaxed in his play gym... it puts him right to sleep.

Kaelem went to the doctor on Thursday and has really grown. He weighed in at 9lbs 2oz. This only puts him in the 25th percentile for his age. He seems to be eating a ton. On Friday he was one month old, and we had to put away a couple outfits he has grown out of. Most of the newborn sizes with feet and getting way too short. Luckily he is still longer than he is wide.

Can't believe it's already been a month!!!

I can't believe that today Kaelem is one month old. It seems like just yesterday we brought him home. I can really tell that he is starting to grow. He is drinking a lot more and all of his outfits with feet are becoming too short. He is starting to be able to focus a little better and definitely knows certain voices.

We got his passport mailed in this week. Hopefully it will arrive soon so we can make a trip to Tobago to see dad. Next month he will get some of his immunizations and then we will go. I can't wait to take him to the doctor to see how much he has grown.

Kaelem's Doctor Visit

Kaelem is doing very well. He visited the doctor on Monday and had already grown an inch and is back to his original birth weight. He sure didn't like the doctor visit though. Once they stripped him and he was cold, he cried the entire time. I felt so sorry for the poor guy.

He is such a good baby. He never cries except when he is hungry or needs an immediate diaper change. He loves to stay awake and take in his surroundings. He's not much of a sleeper.

On Wednesday, we went with his Aunt Amanda and cousin Emily, and of course, grandma, to have his pictures taken. He did very well. I will get some pictures sent out as soon as we get them back from the studio. It was definitely an experience taking a newborn for a photo shoot.

We are just enjoying our weekend and hope you are too. We'll keep you posted!!

Ready to come home in his new dino outfit. Grandma had to go buy new clothes because everything we brought was too big.

On our way to our first doctor appointment. He's definitely a car sleeper.

WELCOME KAELEM CLIFFORD KING!

I would like to introduce to you all Kaelem Clifford King. Kaelem was born on August 11, 2009 at 3:01pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 7ozs and was 19 3/4in. He has the most beautiful straight black hair. Although I am a little partial, I have to say he is a cutie. He definitely has grandpa's chin, and dad's feet.

We brought him home on Friday the 14th, which was grandma and grandpa's 44th wedding anniversary. What a great anniversary present! He has been nothing but a bundle of joy.

Kaelem is coming soon!!

I saw the doctor on Thursday and they have decided to induce me on Monday. I have to be at the hospital at 7pm, and hopefully if all goes as planned Kaelem will make his grand entrance on Tuesday. I hope its not too grand though!! I will keep you posted on his arrival!
