I am so Loved

Oh, my beautiful, sweet, amazing, adorable little baby boy. We love him so much. I can't believe he is 3 1/2 months old already. Where, oh, where has the time gone? He is starting to look HUGE now. I thought I would post some of my favorite pictures of him to help you get to know him a little better.


These were his newborn "Rockstar" pajamas. I am in love with baby pajamas. And these ones looked SOOO cute on him. He had so much dark, dark hair as a newborn. It was so soft. I loved when I would burp him. I would put him over my shoulder and snuggle into his hair. I still like to give him lots of kisses there. I literally do it all day long!!

I remember when he was just a few weeks old. We put him in these jammies and laid him on a blanket by the Christmas tree. The older three were in bed. Mike and I just laid down next to Kallen & soaked him in. We were in awe of this precious new boy that had just joined our family. And sad to think he might be our last :( It was a strange feeling. 

Now, we have a special routine with him. We call it JAMMER time. (named after HAMMER time). Whenever you take Kallen up to put on his pj's, he grins from ear to ear, sometimes squeals, and tonight laughed. He LOVES it. It is his favorite time of day & he totally knows what is coming next. His bed. I know, I would snuggle him all day, but at night, he just wants to be fed a bottle and then put in his bed. Maybe it is the only time of day he gets to be left alone. And that is how he likes it.


Our Christmas present!! And the best Christmas present ever. He was such a cute little newborn. With the most gorgeous PIERCING dark eyes. He would gaze at us and make you freeze because of those eyes. And his hair made him all the more loveable. We would style it in a little mohawk. He was Mr. Fashion already! 

Kallen loved to snuggle on the bean bag with his big brother, Daven. Daven bonded with Kallen really fast. He is our baby lover. I love watching how much Daven loves him!





Do you have a question? Kallen can always be found with his hands in the air while sleeping. In fact, right now, he is asleep in his bed with both hands up in TOUCHDOWN POSITION! Every night that is how he sleeps. It is so cute and always makes us smile. We have NEVER caught him sleeping with his arms down. 


Here he is in January as his first smiles started coming out. He wasn't the smiliest baby ever. But his smiles were super cute. Now, though, they happen quite a bit.


One day Avery informed us that Kallen told her she was his favorite. I guess she can speak Baby-Ease. I laughed, but I do think Kallen loves her a lot. And she loves, loves, loves him. She can frequently be found playing with him and telling him not to worry because "Sister is Here!"


Oh, Mr. K and his ceiling fans! Here he is smiling and talking to the fan in his bedroom. He was fascinated with fans as a newborn. He loved to stare at them forever. We took a short 3-day trip to Greer, AZ. When we got home, I took him out of his carseat. He looked up and just grinned from ear to ear. He had been reuninted with his fan!!! :) It totally cracked me up!

He is still in love with fans and especially lights now. Do we have an electrician on our hands?



 Logan snapped this picture at Avery's birthday party. Isn't it priceless? Kallen is the happiest baby and the sweetest little guy. So this huge frown is pretty rare. But oh so loveable!!


I just had to snap a picture of that little tiny foot sticking out of the blanket.

Kallen, you are a joy to our family. We love you so much! I can't believe what a sweet, good baby you are. I don't know how we ever survived without you in our family. It was like you were always supposed to be here all along! Luv you Mr. K.  Our K-Man XOXOXO

So cute Rickie!! Hailee loved ceiling fans too. Every time we went to my mom's house, she would search for the fan. I can't wait to meet this little guy!
