Well Kelson is now 17 days old. Man time is already flying by. I think I'm getting the hang of things now :) She is eating more and sleeping a little less during the day, which means more sleep at night- YEA! We had her 2 week checkup this past Tuesday and the dr said that she is doing GREAT. She went from 7 lbs 2 1/2oz to 7lbs 14 oz (gained 12oz in one week) so I was VERY pleased with that. I wanted to make sure that I was feeding her enough and with those results I would def say that I am. Dr. Zbell also made mention that she is going to have blue eyes- I was always told that it took a while to tell, but she said that she can already tell. Also she is ranked 80% in her height bracket, so she guesses that she will be around 5'7 or 5'8. That's my little model :) She has quite a bit of hair (which I heard will all fall out :( eventually, but then grow back in). Most importantly- Kelson is in PERFECT health and we don't have to go back to the dr till her 2 month checkup- shots, etc.. and of course I'm getting her ears pierced too. I've updated my kodakgallery so if you guys want to check out some more pics of Kelson over the last few weeks, feel free to do so.
We've already taken Kelson out of the house for a few occasions: her two dr appts, a dinner at Logan's with some of our friends, and cookout couple shower, Memere and Da Bob father's anniversary dinner at Casa, and lunch with my boeing co-workers. She has done EXTREMELY well. Everyone always comments on how beautiful and alert she is for being a newborn. That's my girl!!!
There is no way that Jason and I will ever have a hard time finding a babysitter around this place. Now that Lucy has two more of her sisters up here living in AL we have more babysitters. They love to hold and spoil her often. Aline comes by almost daily to get her Kelson fix- its so cute. Lucy's mom, Memere, has even had time to come hold her and play with her. Its so awesome to share such a wonderful experience with the family.
Speaking of family- my mom is down in FL helping out Keri with her new little man- Corgan. He is soooo cute. Looks a lot like my brother Kyle did when he was born. I always said that when I had a boy, I wanted him to look like Kyle- he was the cutest kid EVER! So maybe Keri got it first. Keri and Corgan are doing GREAT. We have been able to skype (web cam) often so even though neither one of us can be there physically, we are able to chat and see eachother's baby's on their. My mom and dad are so excited that they have two new grandbabies 8 days a part from eachother. Annabelle is coping well with having a brother. You can tell that she is "a ball of energy" now from talking with her on skype. Keri has to bribe her to get her to sit still and talk- hehe.
All is going GREAT. Christmas is going to be something else this year...
Its almost time to start putting up Halloween decorations, then THE TREE!!! YEA!!!

It IS awesome to at least get to see Kelson on skype! She's such a pretty baby, and alert too! I still think she looks JUST LIKE you did as an infant! Maybe I'll figure out how to get the picture to scan correctly (those textured 70s photos don't scan very well) and you can post it for everyone to see. :)
yay! I'm so excited for you guys. She's absolutely beautiful! :)
