Kaelen Update

Kaelen is 14 months old today. He is so big and so cute. He loves to be outside. He has recently started to take the hose and drink from it when it is on. It is so cute. He seems to be always wet. It is so funny. He stands at the door all the time wanting to go outside. He is an escapee too. He loves to run a way.

Throwing chalk outside.

He recently got his 7th tooth. It is so cute. He is so big too it seems. He loves to stand at the top of the stairs and yell down at the kids after we do. In this video he is standing in the house yelling at the kids after I had told them to come in the house.

He is such a big helper. He also will give us something if you ask him too. If you tell him to give something to a certain person he will take it to them.

Kaelen loves the phone. He has learned to say hi the other day but only says it on the phone. In this video is he pretending to talk on the phone and is saying hi and then babbling like his is talking to somebody.

Kaelen eating a cookie. Yum. What a mess.

Kaelen loves to climb into the laundry baskets. When ever I do laundry he will lay on top of the clean clothes. One day he will be asleep in the laundry basket. Once the clothes are empty he likes to climb in and out of it. His favorite is when Rachel pushes him in it.

Kaelen loves to lay down and put his bum in the air. I think that he keeps trying to do a somersault. One day he'll do it and be freaked out because he won't know what he just did.

Kaelen has never taken a binky before. He has never liked them until he found the candy ones. Yum.

Kaelen is finally sleeping through the night now. Yippy. He will sleep anywhere from 9-11 hours straight. It's about time. I love it.

Kaelen will look at pictures of Enoch and I that we have in our room and will look at Enoch's picture and say "Dad" and then when I look at him and ask him where Mom's picture is he'll just look at me like I am an idiot because I am standing right there.

Kaelen loves animals. He has learned to pant like a dog and so every animal he see's he will pant. It is so cute. We always know that there is an animal around because he pants. We love.
He has this book about Dogs from Juleene and David. He sits on the floor and will spend an hour each day looking at it. He loves it. He sits and pants the whole time he reads it.

Kaelen finally loves shoes. He will actually put his feet out for you to put them on for you. He actually now has 4 pairs of shoes. That is amazing because a few months ago he would only wear slippers. He still takes his socks off though all the time if he doesn't have shoes on.

Kaelen loves to give kisses. He doesn't do it on your lips though. He will pucker his lips to kiss you and then at the last minute he tilts his head down and wants you to kiss his forehead. He does it every night before Rachel and Jacob goes to sleep. He needs kisses from them too. I love it. Sometimes he'll give me kisses three or four times in a row.

Kaelen has tamper tantrums already. He will get mad and lay on the ground and cry. At times he will also go find you where you are at so he can have his tamper tantrum on the floor near you. Don't take something away from him or he has one. Silly kid. Thank you to his sister and brother he does this sooner than most kids.

Kaelen loves to play on his own but he mostly loves playing with Rachel and Jacob. He wants to be where ever they are. He also loves to talk to you and talk while he plays. If only we knew what he was saying.

He actually said his first two sentences the other day. He pointed to a ball on his pajamas and said "it's a ball" and then pointed to my clothes and I of course didn't have one on and said "where's the ball." It was amazing. We all heard it because it was in the middle of family scripture study.

Kaelen is so much fun. I could spend hours each day just watching him play. I love it. He brings us all so much joy. We love our little boy and love him more each day.
