Game On Keller

We got some pics today of little man in his baby Jordans that his Uncle Ryan got for him. He also geared up in his All Star jersey and sweats. He just looks so natural already.

I just want to show everybody how much Keller is Justin's carbon copy.

The Cats Get Back at Justin

So, our two cats stay indoors but we have a screened in patio that they spend a lot of time on. The screen has never been too sturdy so we've always been nervous that they would break through it. Well, last night we couldn't find Kaia for about an hour and then Justin heard her meowing from outside. She broke through the screen and either fell or jumped through. Justin found her in the grass outside with her little paws on the ledge trying to figure out how to get back inside. It was so sad! We're thankful that she was ok -- we have a lot of crazy stray cats around here that could've had her for dinner.

How to get cat urine out of the car seat after the jealous feline takes a leak in it like the immature 5 year old that he is

• Skin the cat (Lynch).
• Give the pelt to the other cat (Kaia) and make her soak it in soapy water. This assures that she understands the severity of her brother's actions.
• Remove padding from seat.
• Oh wait. First, untangle all of the hooks, straps, hoops, latches, buckles and soldering from the padding and the frame.
• Take the soapy water soaked fur and wash the inside of the frame.
• Make Lynch stand on Kaia's shoulders and throw the padding in the washing machine.
• Dry the frame with paper towels.
• Show Lynch how to use the hair dryer so he can blow dry his fur out.
• Give Kaia the sewing kit and lock both of them in the bedroom.
• Hope that Kaia can figure out how to work the needle and thread. But then again, that's not really my cross to bare.
• Re-attach all of the hooks, straps, hoops, latches, buckles and soldering so that next time we take Keller bungee jumping in our Volvo he'll stay attached to that seat.
• Post all of the pictures I just took of Lynch without his fur on his MySpace page to drive the point home.
• Have a sandwich

Meeting Great Aunts & Uncles

This past Sunday, we had the pleasure of my Uncle Les from St. Pete and my Aunt Sandy from New York getting to meet Keller for the first time. They came over to our place for the morning and got to hold and hang out with the little guy for a while. It was good to see both of them and better to see them with their great nephew for the first time.

A few laughs on video

I mean... seriously

Keller's First Love

I know Beth showed the picture of Keller's new shirt a couple days ago and gave a shout out to all the baby ladies out there. However, you all should know that he's falling pretty quickly for someone already. Somebody that gets his attention most often, the person that makes him smile the most, and the one who seems to have stolen his heart.

So watch out Avery... don't turn your back baby Cox... team up DeKorne girls #1 and #2. This one's puttin the moves on our little guy every day.

Date Night

Justin's parents were nice enough to give us time and money to go out for a date night on Saturday. We went down to the Pointe in tourist town. It's been totally redone and it was our first time down there since the renovation. We went to a great little wine bar and then a greek restaurant. It was great to get out and be able to relax and enjoy a meal. Thanks Jeff and Nancy!

Dedication!

Keller was dedicated at church today! He did even better than our best case scenario. We brought him up there sleeping and he woke up when we passed him off for the dedication, but after it was over he fell asleep for the rest of the service and we were able to listen to the message! Unfortunately due to a battery issue, we only got one picture of the event (we're working on getting some more from other people) but we took plenty beforehand. Here they are!

Grandpa Jeff and Nana Jo's Visit

Justin's parents were here all last week and we had such a good time with them! They had a great time getting to know Keller and I was able to get blueberry pancakes almost every day. :)

Lots of time was spent cuddling with the baby:




Keller's starting to look more and more like a boy instead of a baby and it's freaking me out!


Some other fun pics from the week:






Ok - these next pictures are for my friends with the girl babies they've had or are having this year. Avery Olson, Baby Girl Dekorne and Baby Girl Cox and any other new baby girls out there:

8 week check-up

Now that we've (Justin) shared our disdain for very wealthy football players, back to baby/family news.

Keller's 8 week appointment was today. He's weighing in at 12 lbs. 8 oz. (doubled his birthweight!) and measuring at 23 1/4 inches. He's pretty much in the 50th percentile across the board. He's perfectly healthy and doing great! Grandpa Jeff and Nana Jo (Justin's parents) are here this week so we'll have plenty of pictures to share soon.

And there you have it.

Tonight we were watching the Yankees v. Rangers game and ESPN cut in with a teaser update on Brett Favre and 'what the latest is on who he could be playing for this season'. Then Keller ripped a big one in his diaper.

Amen Keller. Amen.
