July 4, 11 weeks

We went to Jeff and Carrie's for the 4th of July, and Keelin wore her red, white, and blue dress from Grandma Bonnie.

She is doing great, healthy and happy and a lovely person. We have a nice routine of eating, having fun, and sleeping. She is smiling all the time, and talking up a storm. She has definitely said 'hi', Mom and Michael and I have all heard it. When she greets people they usually get a smile, and a burble or two. Pretty hard to resist!

She goes for a walk every morning with her Cheriska (Mom), and talks to the red trees that she loves. On their walk they usually see Maximus, the huge (170 lb) American Bull Mastiff who exudes happiness, and Rocky the Rottweiler who is a leaner just like my Stone (also a Rottie). Their owners take the dogs to the park very early so that they can wander off-leash, and the owners think Keelin is the cat's meow.

She loves baths. Even if she's crying on her way to the tub, once she's in the warm water she starts smiling. She's splashing a bit, and loves to have the water poured over her shoulders.

I think we're starting to get better pictures of her, I'm getting more close-up shots, so you can see better how she's changing. I love this set, especially in her towel after her bath, and the set of 3 where she's talking and laughing with her Dad. I also love the one where she is on her Dad's shoulder, and seems to be hatching her plan to take over the world.

Keelin, 10 weeks!!









Sleeping through the night for NINE hours! She's the coolest kid ever. By 6-7 weeks she was sleeping 6 hours, after 7 weeks it was 8, and for the last week it's been 9 hours.
