Keenan is 4+ Months



Wow! Time has flown! I can't believe Keenan is already 4 months old. I am behind on my blogging, but I will try not to make this a long post.

Keenan's 4 Month Stats:
Weight: 20lbs and 10oz.(>100%)
Length:26 & 1/8" (90%)

Yes, I have another "Chunkalicious" baby. I just have to remind everyone that we breed gi-normous babies, and I love every ounce of their chunkiness! According to Keenan's pediatrician, (who is different than the one we started out with when Eli was born), she said he only needs 32 oz of formula a day. I remember giving Eli 40 oz., so that's what I was giving Keenan. We ended up cutting Keenan's 10 pm bottle. I knew that would mess up his sleeping schedule. She also said we could go ahead and start cereal. The first night went ok, I was not there when Keenan woke up around 5:45AM that Saturday morning, so I have no room, to talk. I was running 6 miles with my running group. I've decided to train for the KC Half Marathon in October. In fact, I ran 8 miles yesterday and I feel pretty good.

Aaron and I were able to have a date night last Saturday. We used a new babysitter, and she did great. Eli took up to her right away, she usually babysits for a family who has four kids, so I knew she would be great. We went out with a few other friends to dinner then after dinner drinks. I guess I had a few too many drinks because I was pretty dysfunctional the next day. I let Aaron sleep in a little longer while I got up with Eli. I fed Eli then we went to the basement so I could lay on the couch while Eli played. As soon as we got down there, Eli said "I pooped". I ran him upstairs, but it was too late. Dealing with poop hungover is not the best thing, that's why I could never drink the night before when I worked in the hospital!

Aaron was brave enough to bring both Eli and Keenan to the grocery store (I have not even done that). I took a nap while they were gone. We started Keenan on cereal. I'm still not sure if he likes it. I've been mixing it with bananas and he seems to like that a little better. Sometimes he gets frustrated when we're feeding him, we have to shove a pacifier in his mouth between bites to pacify him!

I will post pictures of the boys this weekend. I have not had time to do it recently. I even was able to get some pics of them while at school.

Oh, strike that date comment from before; glad you guys can get out and do that. I'm always amazed when I hear the stats of your boys. It's so great that they're so big and healthy. I remember the days when Ben and I commented to each other about one of us alone taking both kids out. hee-hee.
