Happy Family, Happy Boy

Progression Picture

This is the finished progression picture my friend Sarah took during my pregnancy.
She did an awesome job!

Guard Dogs

Ripley & Emerie have taken to guarding Keller until he falls asleep. They go in his room with us when we go to put him down and stay until he's asleep. Then they usually decide a nap sounds like a pretty good idea!

Sleepy Sleepy

The house was extremely quiet one day.....so I went to investigate.
I found out why pretty quickly! Everyone was taking a little nap!

War Eagle Trip

The whole family took a trip to War Eagle a couple weekends ago. We had a great time and LD was nice enough to give us a cabin to stay in for the weekend!

In the Crib

Keller is officially out of the bassinette in our room & sleeping in his crib. We're attempting to get him used to it and he's doing pretty well so far. He was in the habit of waking up at 3 or 5 AM to eat and thinking it was time to play for about 2 hours, so we've been keeping him up during the day more. Last night was the first night he woke up to eat & went right back to sleep!! We're so excited to get 2 long stretches of sleep a night. 11-3 & 3:30-7....it's amazing! :) Not to mention he's happier & more alert when he's awake during the day.

Look Alikes

For comparison sake, I asked both Eric & my mother for some of our baby pictures.....

Pretty sure Keller looks just like his daddy! Maybe a little hit of me in there somewhere. :)

What do you think?!?!?

Bath Time

Now that Keller can take a full on bath he really likes it! He wasn't a fan of the sponge baths he had to take while his umbillical cord was still attached.

First Day at Church

Keller went to church for the first time Sunday 09/05/2010. It was so nice to get to introduce him to our church family, as well as spending time with Eric's family who is very involved with the church!

Granny Viv

Keller had the pleasure of meeting his Great Great Grandmother, Vivian this weekend. She really enjoyed seeing him & Keller was very good for her! She is an amazing woman and we are so thankful to have her in our lives!

Photo Shoot

My friend Sarah took some family pictures of us on Saturday. Here's just a small sample of her amazing work....BEFORE editing! There are some really good ones, and she even humored us in taking pictures of our dogs! We're waiting until she's finished editing to share the rest.

Then Eric decided to go Redneck on us!
