Kaelen 9 months Old

Kaelen is 9 months old now. Well actually he will be 10 months in two weeks. He is getting so big. He weighs 19lbs 8 oz. He is so much fun. He makes us laugh all the time. He loves balls. He actually knows how to throw balls as well as chase them around and push them. It is the most amazing thing. He will push the ball around the house. He will crawl to it, push it, chase after it, push it again and then chase after it. He will do that for quite a while as well. The other amazing thing is that when you hold his fingers he will walk around and kick the ball. I am not sure where he learned to do that but he knows how to kick it. He will actually lift his leg to kick the ball. It is so cool. We will post a video soon of him playing with the ball. Kaelen also will pull himself up against everything. He actually was playing with a tall standing lamp the other day and he knocked it over and broke it. Nice. Kaelen also will be told not to do something and he will smile at you and go do what he was just told not to do. He will wait till you are looking at him them smile and head for something he isn't supposed to touch. He is already trying to be defiant. He also in the last few weeks has gotten good at sitting from a standing position. Before he would just drop down really hard or stay standing and cry till you lowered him down but he actually now can lower himself down.

Kaelen loves the stairs. He loves climbing up them and thinks that he can climb down them. He will go head first and start reaching down them. He has actually fallen down the stairs a couple of times. We have a gate that goes at the top of the stairs but there has been a few times where it was not put up right a way and he went down the stairs. Really sad. The funny thing is that the last time he fell down the stairs he sat near the gate and cried. He really wanted to go downstairs. He loves being downstairs playing with Rachel and Jacob.


Kaelen will copy the kids all the time. If they scream or growl he will do it too. It is so funny.


Kaelen standing at the stairs. He looks so big in this picture to me.

He is teething so he loves to chew on things. Especially shirts. He will actually chew on your shirt while you are holding him. He also at times has chewed on our pant legs. You have to be careful though because he bites really hard.

I love this picture of him. He was asleep in my bed and was waking up. This was the position he was sleeping in. So cute.

Kaelen is finally somewhat letting us read books to him. Before he would grab the book right out of your hands and wouldn't let you hold it or turn the pages. Now we have a couple of minutes before he pulls it from us. He really likes this book because he gets to see the dogs move their legs and tails and also feel things. (Thanks Juleene and David) He loves dogs. He gets excited when he see's Bernie and also when he see's another dog.

Not eating dairy has gone down the tube. Enoch gave him ice cream the other day and yesterday Jacob gave him a Gogurt. Well after I took it away Kaelen was so mad he started to scream and shake. I gave in and ended up giving him his own to have. He LOVED it.

In this video you can't see him very well but I love him saying "Da Da." He say's Dad all the time. It is so cute. He was laying on his change table while we were filming this and he has a mobile that he plays with. That was what was in the video.

We sure love our little boy. He isn't sleeping through the night at all. The last two nights he has been up around 12 times. He is cutting a tooth. You can feel all the sharp bumps from the tooth. I am sure that it will be through today or tomorrow. So he will have his first tooth. It's about time because we thought that it would have come through months ago. We are hoping that maybe he will sleep after this tooth and the one next to it comes in. Oh wait, no by then more will be coming in. So I figure I will not get sleep for another year. Oh well. At least when Kaelen isn't sleeping he is happy. He is happy when he doesn't take a nap and doesn't sleep at night. He is never really cranky. I guess we can't complain too much. It would be really bad if he never slept and was cranky.
