Big Babies and a New Job

Ok, I realize these two things have nothing to do with each other but they're both on my mind so I figured I'd lump them together.

Keller visited a new pediatrician this past week as a 6 week old. Ok, so keep in mind he weighed 6 lbs when we brought him home from the hospital and this was 6 weeks later to the day. Our little man weighed in at 11 lbs. 9 oz. He's been gaining almost a pound a week. Crazy. The doctor laughed when he realized how much weight he'd gained. This kind of growth keeps in line with the only other baby in our family. My sweet niece Zoe is consistently in the highest percentiles for growth. Currently she's in the 99th for height and 95th for weight. (pics of her are in a recent post) So, we're realizing that us Kellers make big babies. :)

This coming Monday Justin starts a new job! We are THRILLED. We think this job will finally provide the stability he / we have been needing. He'll be the Creative Director for a company called Island One / Club Navigo. From what I understand (he'll have to expound) he'll be managing two teams - one for website development and one for print material development all for marketing purposes. He'll also be able to use his video and photography skills. This company manages vacation resorts and timeshares. One of the perks is that some bonuses are given as stays in their resorts. WOO - HOO!! :)

My spoiled days of Justin working from home are over. I knew they'd have to come to an end at some point but I'm still sad to see him leave. We've been so blessed to have him around during Keller's first few weeks of life.
