Things continue to move right along here at the Gray household. Here are a few updates:
1. Kellan's first day in the "big kids" (aka Honeybees) room at daycare was today. He did pretty well. Only napped for 50 minutes (which made for a cranky little boy come pick-up time), but ate all his food for the day. Also, he decided to try eating sand... not such a good idea, as it irritated his upper lip and gums. Maybe it distracted him from any teething pain he had (he's still trying to break out those molars).
2. He can now get up to a standing position without the aid of a pull-up item (i.e. walls, furniture, etc.). We weren't sure he was going to learn before transferring to the Honeybees room, but he taught himself just in time.
3. Kellan's becoming more vocal. He still mainly says "mah" for everything he doesn't have a word for, but he's definitely paying attention when we tell him what something is called and often attempts to mimic us. We've recently taught him to say "wow!".
4. He's retrieving items when we ask ("Kellan, can you bring me the sock monkey?") and has knowledge of the location of several body parts, including his bellybutton.
5. He still loves avocados, and still (mostly) dislikes fruit.
Here are a couple of pictures from the last few weeks:
Mommy pulled out Kellan's "0-3 months"-sized hat and tested to see if it still fit... maybe his head isn't as big as we thought? (or, that's some seriously stretchy yarn)
He really is the coolest kid ever
Hanging out with Daddy
He gets so excited on walks outside - "Hey! Is that a rock?!"
It's pretty cute when we go to the high school stadium near our house - Kellan's always so mesmerized by the athletes
Someday, Kellan... someday...
First off, those pictures of Kellan at the track are so cute! He looks like a little athlete. Next - I saw the picture of Kellan in his 0-3 month hat and my first reaction was - OH MY - they have two of these hats! But then I read what you wrote and realized it is the exact hat that I just unpacked from our most recent box of clothes. It's funny, cause I looked at the size - 0-3 months and thought it was crazy that it fits Thatcher. It is too bad you don't have a second one... they could be cousin-twins!
