What I Am Up To.



(I took this picture of me all by myself. Well actually I didn't Mom did but it sure looks like I did.)

I am now 11 months old and doing tons of things. I thought that I would share all of my accomplishments and share some adorable pictures of me, Kaelen.

-I say Mom and Ball really well. Every thing else is Da or it sounds like I do. (don't think that he's really saying that)
-I have two teeth on the bottom. First one came in January 26th, and then February 3rd.
-I love to push things under the couch and fridge. If you can't find things look there.
-I love to push things down the stairs. I love to watch it go down but then will cry because I can't get it back.
-I love climbing up the stairs.
-I get so excited with our dog Bernie. She isn't very excited about me though.
-When ever somebody comes to the front door I crawl as fast as I can to it.
-I love the vacuum. I will follow Mom around the house while she vacuums. I love to get in the way too and make it harder for her to vacuum.
-I can stand on my own. I will stand for a minute or two at at time and then will always sit down on my bum. (No Mom has never gotten a picture. Every time she tries to take one I sit down right a way)
-I have taken a total of two steps on my own. I walked to Mom both times. If you try to get me to do it I won't, I will sit down right a way but if you are not watching I will try it.
-I love to pull all the books out of Rachel and Jacob's bookshelves.
-I eat all foods including Bernie's dog food. Her water is the best though. I love to play in it.
-I love to eat everything that the family does and I love my snack foods.
-I am extremely ticklish and will scream and giggle when being tickled.
-I love it when Rachel and Jacob play with me and I get mad when they are downstairs and I am stuck at the top of the stairs with the gate.
-I don't like to nap and I don't like to sleep through the night. My Poor Mom and Dad.
-I love to be around my family. I get sad when I am alone or don't know where they are.
-I love candy especially suckers. I am good at taking the wrappers off and eating them.
-I do brush my teeth though after eating all of that candy. I love my toothbrush and will even let Mom brush my precious whites.
-I hate getting my diaper changed and will either scream and cry or crawl away. Not very fun for Mom and Dad when it is poopy.
-I hate getting clothes off and on too. Especially on. One of these day's I'll be able to take my clothes off and then I'll be free.
-I could spend forever in the bathtub.
-I LOVE balls. I will say and sign ball all the time. I love to chase balls, throw them, push them and when I am standing with somebody I will even lift my leg and kick the ball.
-I can drink from a straw and sippy cup. I also love to drink and then spit the stuff out of my mouth. I am getting better though at not doing it all the time.
-I love the remote control for the TV and the phone. I change the channels all the time on the family. They tried to get me one without batteries but I knew right away that it didn't work. I am good at using the phone. I have called Dad many times all on my own and have even called somebody at Midnight before. Good thing it was Mom and Dad's good friends.
-I love reading scriptures each night with my family. I get mad though because they won't let me read by myself. I think that they are worried that I might do something to them. (look at my pictures below)
-I love my family so much. I cry sometimes when Jacob gets on the bus for school but I am always excited to see Rachel and Jacob come home. I really get excited when Dad get's home from work. I will cry for a very long time when Mom leaves me and Dad is the one watching me. I can't decide at times who I like better Mom or Dad. Mom usually wins.

Overall I think that I am pretty cute kid and I think that my family loves me and couldn't be happier to have me be a part of the family.


Me hanging out with Dad.


Laying around on the bed with Dad. I am so excited.


I love to read the scriptures with the family.


I think that they also taste really good. I do get mad though when I try to grab the book and they don't give it to me.

I love listening to Rachel read.


I am such a cute kid with such cute teeth.


I love the remote.


Crawling up the stairs. My big brother took this of me. Good Job Jacob.

I love this post. I think it is so great that you can record all of these things and share them with people at the same time. He is growing up so fast. Such a cutie! Yes, good job on the photo you took Jacob.

Oh my goodness.. this is so cute! I loved reading it. I want to do this for all my kids, when I have some. hehe. :-D Kaelen is so stinkin cute! I'm so glad I get to see him as much as I do. You did good Angelene and Enoch. Your baby is amazing. Crazy that he's almost one. :-)

This is so awesome! Thanks for all the things Kaelen does! I'm surprised to see how many things he and Caleb do alike - like playing in dog water for example. SO CUTE! I loved the pictures as well. That's so funny that he tries to eat the scriptures. He has such a sweet smile. Cute teeth and dimples!
