Christmas #2

Christmas # 2 was spent with mommy, daddy, and Charlie on 12/23 before bed.

Christmas Begins

Charlie and Rudi were pooped after a day full of playing.

Given his new sled a feel :)

Christmas # 1 was celebrated at Oma amd Opa's house in Woodbury.

Downtown Macy's

We visited the 8th floor of Macy's in downtown Minneapolis. We took a stroll around the Christmas display and stopped by to meet the Big Man himself :)

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Kellen and Charlie love gazing at the Christmas tree. Kellen likes to pull off the ornaments. We put all the fancy ones on the top :)

Christmas shopping with Papa

Grandma and Papa took Kellen Christmas shopping while mommy and daddy went to the UW basketball game. The Build-a-Bear store was his favorite :)

guess who's crawling forward...finally

Kellen has been scooting backwards, and in circles but has failed to move forward..... until last night :) Kellen took his first forward crawls. Austin is absolutely thrilled!

Having fun at Oma and Opa's

Waving

LET IT SNOW!

We couldn't resist taking Kellen outside for the first BIG snow fall in Middleton. He liked the snow.....until he touched it with his bare finger :)

One Man Band

Kellen found the pots and pans. When mommy is cooking he hangs out in the kitchen playing his instruments :)

Trip to Grandma Jeane's

We love HUGS!!!

THANKSGIVING WEEK!

Turns out Kellen LOVES balloons!!!

Austin was on-call for Thanksgiving this year. We decided that it would be a great week for me to take Kellen and visit family. Our first stop was Woodbury! We had a great time visiting with everybody and spending some Q-time with the Crow's. We then headed to Mauston to visit with the Oswald/Shallenberger clan. It was a great week :)

Scoots

Kellen has perfected the scoot! He is constantly up on all fours and pushing himself around the house. We don't think we can call it a true crawl, but it gets the job done :)

7 month pictures

Here are a few pictures from Kellen's recent photo shoot :)

Family Night at Swimming!!!

It was friends and family night at swimming lessons, Grandma and Papa came to party. Grandma got in the water with Kellen at the pool. Afterward Papa took us to Quaker Steak and Lube to reward Kellen for all of his hard-work!!
