I cannot believe Kellen is already 9 weeks old! I know I keep saying it, but time is flying by way too fast. He's offically no longer a newborn. This kid is a hoss!
Weight? Not sure as he goes to the doctor tomorrow but I'm guessing around 11-12 lbs. I'm tell you - this kid is a chunky monkey!
Appetite? Kellen is now drinking anywhere from 6-8 oz every 3 waking hours!!! We went from 4 to 6-8 in a 1 week period. I think he has a growth spurt every other week. So, he has around 40 oz of formula and probably 8-10 oz of breastmilk (I can no longer keep up with him if you haven't already figured that out).
Sleep? He's still in our room. EG went to her room at 4 weeks. Unfortunately, his room is downstairs and ours are up, so he will be in our room much longer. He has been waking up once at night, usually between 2:30 and 5. The past 2 nights, he's been sleeping from 10 to 6 or 7. I hope he keeps this up for his parents sake!
Anything new? Kellen is now smiling and coo'ing like crazy!
My favorite thing? Kellen sleeping on me, belly to belly, with his arms on either side like a bear hug.

His favorite thing? Probably what I said. That, and eating!
Daddy's favorite thing? Well, he's not here to ask but I would say he likes Kellen lying on his belly, too. And, he's excited he's now smiling and "talking."
What does Ella think? In her own words...
"Guys, stopping playing with brother. Stop it! I'm taking a bath." - while we were on the bed hovered over him while he smiled, haha! I went in the bathroom and asked if she needed attention. She said yes. God bless her!
Another time...
"Stop playing with brother. I'm signing. It's very important to me." - when I was giving him a bath while she took one. I look over and what she called signing time was merely her dumping a large cup of water over her head. Hmmm.
Below is a pic of brother and his sissy at 2 months. Think they look alike?
