6 weeks milestone

Mummy and Kellan had their 6 weeks check up last Thursday, Mummy is doing good, and Kellan is doing great, he is now 57cm long, 12.1lbs (5.5kg), he was born weighing 8.8lbs (3.8450g) and was 52cm long, so he's put on almost 2kg and has grown 5cm, which are pretty good result considering he's being breastfed, the doctor is very happy on his progress and so are we <:), he is starting to smile and have a conversation with us a lot more, he's very alert, he loves staring at his mobile before he goes to sleep, he loves his bath, he loves looking at colourful things:) and most of all he loves being cuddled, who doesn't right? At home I speak Tagalog to him and he cracks up laughing all the time, he probably thinks i'm talking jiberish to him (not sure about the spelling) or he thinks it sounds funny, but anyway it doesnt matter what he thinks of it right now, i will still continue to talk to him in Tagalog, so that when he's old enough and we go back to the Philippines, he can at least understand the language if he can't speak it :), anyway this is our latest update, signing out!

Baby is growing fast

It seems like its only yesterday that i had Kellan, now he's 6 weeks old, he's changed so much already within this period of time, he's got his own personality now, he is smiling a lot, talks back, very alert ( well he's always been alert ha ha!). He lifts himself, he chucks a tantrum now and then, he lets you know when he want something, and it's always I want it NOW mum and dad! lol :) He's getting darker too ( love his colour), he is so cute (well maybe I am bit bias) but we really do think he's cute...anyway here are a few picture of him at 6 weeks old..(photos are actually taken 3 days before he turned 6 weeks, it was taken just before we head off to church on Sunday).

He looks so peaceful sleeping <:)

Bonfire

We had a  Farewell Bonfire at the Orth's farm in honour of the Dunn's (Jared and Tanha and kids), they are moving to Darwin next week, they will surely be missed. It was Kellan's first bonfire too, it was fun and he slept through the night (good kid :)! here are some photos that night.

The Fire

On the upper right hand side of this photo is Andrew's ultimate Marshmallow stick or otherwise called as the Mormon Marshmallow stick <:)

Kellan sleeping through despite of all the noises around him..

Sparkle time

I don't know what's Jared doing in the last 2 pictures :)

Nixon took this photo..

and this is Nixon the photographer :) i'm so gonna miss you Nicky!

Feeding Time with Daddy

Kellan: This is a rare occurence where daddy gets to feed me :) and i like it for a change...mummy took a photo of us while feeding and Daddy was caught in the act this time.. ha!

Okay look closely, Daddy looks like he's looking down at me, but he's actually not, ha ha! Daddy fell asleep before me <:), luckily I'm a good feeder, so no harm done :) you're busted this time daddy!

Caught in the act

Kellan can't really sleep without being wrapped, he's a bit of a wriggly baby, but at the same time, he hates that his hands are all tucked in, we do wrapped him really good, tight enough that a baby shouldnt be able to wriggle out of it, but Kellan is a strong baby, so one day I watch him do it (well he's already more than half way unwrapping himself when i got the camera though)..so here are the photos that i took of him. Funny kid! <:)

Yay, alas! one arm out...

uh oh! busted! mummy's here..

hmm.. whatever i will still unwrap myself anyway.. i might as well right?, feels good to be free!!

Now mummy is not very happy with me because i havent slept for long, I'm sorry mummy, look at my face dont you feel sorry for me?

Aww..Kellan knows how to melt my heart, He is so cute when he pulls all these facial expression..okay I forgive you bubba <:) I love you xox

Caught in the act

Naughty Kellan

Mummy gives me a bath in the morning and it's one of favourite routine, she normally change me on their bed <;) anyway this day daddy stayed home because he busted his ankle, that's why he's still in bed, anyway pictures tells a thousand words...

uh oh...

Chad: (woken up and asked?) what is that wet stuff drizzling all over me?
Kellan: whoops i'm busted <:)

Kellan: Sorry daddy I didn't mean to, mummy is a bit slow putting on my nappy..please stop telling me off??

Me: ha ha ha.. On you Kellan! love you baby, okay i'm not laughing because Kellan pee'd on Chad but i thought it's so funny <:)

Kellan - One month old with Mummy and Daddy

Here are the latest pictures of our precious boy with Mummy and Daddy, these photos are taken right before church. Kellan is growing so fast, he has his own personality now, he certainly lets you know when he wants something and he also know how to throw a tantrum:-) he is so cute and adorable, the noises and grunts that he makes are quite funny..he certainly keep us on our toes, but we love him so much.

A Smile can make everything better..

Being a mum is not so easy as i thought :) I used to think that i've got it all in the bag ha ha! well seven years of - No one wakes me up in the middle of the night or anytime during the night, is something i need to get used to, some nights are different from others, I'm not complaining or anything, dont get me wrong i love my baby boy to bits, i love everything about him, i love everything about being a mum and the experience that comes with it, Kellan sometimes wants to feed for an hour in the middle of the night, plus i have to burp and change his nappy and right before i put a new nappy on him, he sometimes squirt me all over including the face:), it is funny but it can be really tiring, but there's something that can take all the exhaustion and tiredness away, and that's when they Smile at you, and look at you with those super curious eyes that somehow say: "I know you're very tired mummy and i love you for doing all these things for me" I wish i have a 24/7 camera/video that captures these moments, it's so special and worth it:) I love my boy and I love being a mother...

Our Precious baby Kellan

We welcomed our precious son into this world on the 19th of January 2010, It took 14 hours and 39 minutes for him to make his entrance, he has to be delivered by C-section, as i wasn't dilating, baby Kellan was perfect, Chad was the proudest dad ever, when they handed the baby to him to show it to me, all the emotions came flooding through, it's an unexplainable feelings, it was so Sureal...We love him so much, 6 years almost 7 years of waiting for him was so worth it..He keeps us on our toes already, and makes us laugh everyday..He's one precious gift, and we're so grateful that Heavenly Father has entrust us to rear him and be a part of our family, we will do our best to take care of him, and bring him up how Heavenly Father wants us to..Welcome dear Kellan, please know that mummy and daddy loves you heaps!
