Smiles and sleep

An update on what Kellen has been up to:
- continues to be a good sleeper overall- working on putting himself to sleep because he still prefers to be held and as much as I enjoy that, it just isn't possible most of the time. Plus he sleeps better in his bassinet (without a little girl poking his cheek or yelling in his face). He does much better with this at night than for naps during the day. He usually goes to bed between 7-8pm, eats around 11, again at 3 and up sometime between 7-8. 
- still working on a good eating schedule during the day-- he inevitably sleeps through one of his feedings or needs to eat early and then there is the working around sister's schedule...
- giving lots of smiles and starting to chatter/coo especially after diaper changes or when he just wakes up. Zoe probably elicits the most smiles from him, without even trying for them 
- he likes baths which is good because  he poops through his clothes like it's his job. That stage can be over anytime now, thank you very much. We're moving to size 2 diapers this week
Zoe continues to be a big "helper" when it comes to Kellen- getting diapers out, throwing things away, getting burp cloths and whatever she was doing in this picture ha. We're working on her understanding that he needs to be left alone during his naps, his limbs are not as flexible as she thinks, and that his crying is not the crisis she thinks it is. She is usually sweet with him and smothers him with her love. It's hard to believe he's 2months already and getting so big (almost too long for his 3mo sleepers)... But it's hard to remember our little family without him! We're so grateful for our laid back little guy!
