1 year doctors appointment

1 year and over 20 pounds = a new way of seeing things in the car.  At exactly a year we turned Kellan around in his carseat and he is one happy boy. I caught this picture of him while he had just figured out he could see his big sissy now. How sweet is that smile??

Today Kellan went to the doctors for his one year appointment and it is safe to say we have a linebacker in the making.
Here are his stats.. almost off the charts for all measurements.

Weight is 24 pounds 3 ounces   87%
Height is 31 3/4 inches   98%   
Head is 48 3/4 cm            98%

We have one BIG and happy boy. The doctor said if he keeps up his growth at this pace we can expect to have a boy that is over 6 feet as an adult!

Kellan's 1st birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Kellans first birthday with the family.  It was a great day and he was one HAPPY boy having everyone he loved with him.  Of course he loved the cake and did a great job digging into it. We were laughing because he pretty much tore that cake up!! He is one very lucky boy to have so many people love him so much..!! Thanks to everyone for all the love and support.

A look back

How lucky are we to have these two beautiful kids in our lives????

A year ago today at 12:53pm our little guy came into this world after an easy and quick labor and delivery. We were so excited to become a family of four and give Avery the gift of a brother. Happy 1st birthday Kellan James you are our sweet, active and very curious little boy and you have made our family complete!!!

I am long overdue for a post and new pictures. I feel like I got so far behind in the last months with editing and posting so today Ill try and throw in a few from our weekend.  This morning we went to our Frontier Days in Arlington Heights which is basically a smaller size fair.  It had been going on all weekend but with the awful heat we waited till the last day. We had super fun!
