2 Month Checkup

Kade had his 2 month checkup on December 7. He now weighs 13 pounds and 8 ounces. He is 22 1/2 inches long. He has gained 6 pounds since he was born and has grown 3 1/4 inches. He is getting so big!
Here he was having fun sitting on his daddy's lap talking. He loves to do that! I wonder where he gets that?!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here is a picture from Kade's first Thanksgiving. His Grammy Vicky got him his Thanksgiving bib. He seemed to enjoy his day just fine! We had planned a trip to Nebraska to visit Jake's brother, but I got sick, so we just stayed home. Instead my mom and Bruce cooked us lunch at our house, and Bryan came over too.

OU Wins!

Kade is Smiling!

Well Kade learned how to smile now and will smile back at us when we smile and talk to him. It is so sweet and cute! I just love seeing him smile at us.
Kade was sitting in his bouncy chair while Daddy was talking to him and smiling at him.
Kade was really enjoying their conversations!

Kade Playing and Swinging!

Here is Kade playing under his play gym for the first time. He didn't really like it just yet. I think he will like it a lot better when he can actually play with the toys!
Here Kade is swinging in his baby swing for the first time. He loves his swing! He fell asleep about 1 minute after turning it on and slept in it for about 2 hours. I hope he'll sleep tonight!

Kade & Daddy

Kade loves sitting with his daddy in Daddy's chair!
Here he is hugging Daddy!

Kade's First Bath

Jake and I gave Kade his first real bath in his tub yesterday. He didn't cry the whole time like he did when we gave him a sponge bath, but he didn't really like it at first, as you can see in his picture. He whimpered a lot though.
Then he started to like the bath a little better once he got used to it!

Kade's First Pictures

We had Kade's first pictures made on Friday.

Happy Halloween!

Kade was a chicken for his first Halloween. Here he is getting ready to go Trick-or-Treating! I think he really enjoyed himself. He slept through it all!

So Peaceful

My Two Boys!

Daddy had to babysit by himself this morning while I went to the eye doctor. Here is how I found them when I got home! Looks like Daddy did a good job!
Here Daddy and Kade are sharing a good morning kiss!
It looks like I have two pretty happy boys!

Wide Eyed!

Here is my precious boy sitting in his daddy's lap. When Kade is wide awake in the evenings, he likes to lay on Daddy's lap and stare up at him. Daddy plays with Kade and does his baby exercises with him. Kade loves this!

Out To Eat!

This evening we went out to eat for the first time with Kade. We went to Chili's. Uncle Bryan came too! Kade seemed to enjoy himself just fine! He did what he does best during the day, sleep. He hasn't quite figured out how to do the sleep thing at night yet. We're hoping he figures that out soon!

First Doctors Appointment

Today was Kade's first doctors appointment. It was his 2 week checkup, although he is almost 3 weeks old. I can't even believe it! He weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz. and measured 20 1/4 inches. So he has already gained 1 lb. and grown 1 inch. He is growing so fast! He was a very good boy today. His doctor checked him and said he is in perfect health. She had to take his diaper off for a second, and I was afraid he was going to pee on her. He didn't though. He waited until I put his diaper part way on, and then peed. It went all over the table and his blanket. So I had a big mess to clean up. Then before I could get a clean diaper on him, he peed again! I couldn't believe he did it twice! But his doctor was very nice, and she helped me clean him up. We go back again in 6 weeks for his next checkup. I'm so thankful that he is such a healthy boy!

Visiting with Grandmas!

Grandma Vicky came for a visit Saturday. She brought Kade a new bib!
Here is Kade Tuesday after a trip to Grandma Carolyn's house. He was a little worn out!

New Bouncy Chair!

Here Kade is enjoying his new bouncy chair from Aunt Holly. It vibrates, plays music, and has a mobile. He really likes his chair a lot! And as you can see, it worked it's magic real quick. He was asleep within just a few minutes.

Escape Artist!

Kade decided that he would try to get out of his little bassinet already!

What A Cute Boy!

He makes the cutest faces! Here is Kade yawning and smiling while he sleeps. He likes to smile a lot!

Our Happy Family!

Here we are a week after Kade came home from the hospital.

Proud Grandmas!

Kade is Jake's mom's first grandchild. She is very proud of him! Carolyn has been a big help to us. She usually checks on us everyday. She'll come over and help around the house and bring us food. Her favorite job is holding and feeding Kade!


Kade is my mom's first grandchild also. As you can see, she is a very proud grandma too!! My mom came to the hospital on Thursday and was in the delivery room with Jake and me when Kade was born. She was a big help! She was able to stay in Fort Gibson until Tuesday evening. She stayed at our house and waited on me and cleaned my house. She also held Kade a lot! Kade can't wait until she comes back to visit again!

Welcome Kade!

Kade Andrew Keeling is here! Kade was born Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 10:35 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and was 19 1/4 inches long. He was 2 weeks and 1 day early. My due date was October 13, but I was glad to get him here early!

I went in for a routine appointment on Thursday morning at 10:00. While I was in the doctors office my water broke. I asked the midwife if I needed to call my husband, and she said "Well, you're going to have a baby today." I was in shock! I couldn't believe he was going to be born today. So they sent me on upstairs to labor and delivery, and I was admitted at 11:30 am. Jake finally made it to the hospital at 1:00. I didn't have any bags packed since I still thought we had over 2 weeks. I was actually going to pack my bags that day! So Jake had to rush around getting everything together that we would need. He did a good job! I was very proud of him! Finally after a long 11 hours and a lot of hard work, Kade was born. He is perfect in every way!
