What Kallen did today

I keep wanting to post for some reason, so here are some more pictures of Kallen's day today.

Well, Kallen started off by playing with his dinosaur, which by the way, is one of his favorite toys. When you put the balls in the holes it plays music and lights up. He hasn't figured out how to put the balls into the holes himself yet, but he always thinks its super fun to have Mommy or Daddy do it for him. Also, he really likes whacking the dinosaurs head with his hands for some reason. Hmmm, good thing it's pretty sturdy and won't break.















Kallen also had his daily exercises, which consisted of tummy time and practicing crawling. Here he is trying to crawl to me. He hasn't got moving forward down yet, but he can move backwards a little now.


He also likes to walk around the coffee table with Mommy, but I can't take a picture of that while I'm helping him. Instead, I took some pictures of Kallen standing and holding himself up on the coffee table.

























Then when Daddy got home, Kallen played video games with him.




















After all of his hard work and play, he got pooped out. What a tired baby. Oh and in case you noticed, yes Kallen stayed in his Pj's the entire day. :)

Feet!


I don't know why, but I love taking pictures of Kallen playing with his feet. I'm always so amazed at how flexible he is. He also likes to stick his feet in his mouth, but I have never been able to capture a picture of it. Maybe someday. Wow...Mom and Dad sure can't do that.

The Pendulum of Punishment

This really isn't as scary as the title sounds. Tyson likes to hang Kallen upside down from time to time and call it the Pendulum of Punishment. It really isn't a punishment at all...Kallen loves it. Although these pictures are not great, they show what Kallen looks like.

The Rolling World

During the past month we've been really trying to get Kallen to roll over from his back to his tummy. In the past he just hasn't ever wanted to try. He looks at a toy and you can just imagine him thinking, "why do I need to roll and get that? I can live without it." He hates being on his tummy, so every time we've tried to teach him to roll it hasn't been very successful. Lately he likes to tease us and roll 90% of the way and then give up. During the past few weeks, he's rolled over a few times, but then never tries it again. Then suddenly this morning, I was practicing with him and suddenly a light went off and it seems like Kallen has decided that rolling isn't such a bad thing after all. In the past the only things that would ever tempt him to roll would be my cell phone or keys. Amazingly today, he didn't need either! He just kept rolling back and forth for the fun of it. I quickly called Tyson to let him know our son had joined the rolling world and he requested a video. So here it is.

4th of July Fireworks

We wanted to get just a few small fireworks for Kallen's first 4th of July. We ended up having to do them before it got dark because of Kallen's bedtime, but it was still fun. Even though some of them made some very loud noises, little Kallen didn't get scared once. He was so tough.

Later that night, we woke Kallen up and walked around our neighborhood to see some of the fireworks. Tons of people were letting them off and some were pretty amazing fireworks (sorry no pictures, our camera's battery died). It was fun to see Kallen's face as he looked up into the sky and watched them. He would follow every single one.





1st Pool Party





Kallen had his first pool party this 4th of July. Of course the pool was only about 5 feet in diameter and only Tyson, my parents and I attended, but hey, it was a pool party nevertheless. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

Chicken Baby

June 30th: Here's a happy video. Sometimes Kallen gets pretty slap happy when he gets tired. Here's proof of that in this video. He thinks his Daddy is super funny whenever he says, "Chicken".

Being Tough

June 30th: These are a few pictures that I took this morning when we were all still hanging out in bed. Kallen was acting all tough and being very smiley too. I thought they were cute, so I just assumed you would too. :)
