New Addition to the Family




On September 8 we welcomed the new addition to our family....a healthy baby boy - Kellen.  He arrived 10 days early, weighing in at 7lbs and 3.5 ozs.  He is so adorable and has so much dark hair compared to Riley, our fair-haired beauty.  Riley is proud to be a big sister and is doing great "helping" with the baby stuff.  I think Riley has aged a year since bringing home this tiny person!  Kellen is adjusting to life on the outside.  He is different from baby Riley - he has a little "squeak" and is a very noisy sleeper.  His arms are very strong and he likes to work himself loose from the tightest swaddle.  A determination of who he looks like is still up for debate - not as cut and dry as when Riley was born.  We are finally getting some use out of the newborn sized clothes that were Riley's -- as she was 9lbs when she was born, so never had the opportunity to wear them.  Andrew's favorite is the pink sleeper with strawberries!
