Trip to Oregon 11 1/2 Months

Kallen had a lot of firsts on this trip to Oregon for his Uncle Mike's wedding. First frozen fruit bar, first ride on an ATV, first time on a slide and a swing. The weather has been so rainy and snowy in Utah this Spring that Kallen has only been outside to play on three occasions so the weekend in Oregon he got to spend some more time outside.

11 Months

Kallen is now 11 months old. He started walking at 10 1/2 months. He has been standing and walking along objects for the past couple of months so he is not getting into much more trouble. One Sunday he walked across the living room by himself and he hasn't looked back.

10 months

Not a ton of pictures within the last month. Kallen is not quite walking. Today he started standing by himself a lot more than he ever has before and is seriously thinking about taking a few unassisted steps. He has two more teeth on top for a total of four on the top and two on the bottom.

9 months old!

At 9 months old Kallen is as busy as ever, he is always on the move. At his 9 month check-up he weighed in at 21.75 lbs. (75th percentile) and 30.31 inches tall (95th percentile).

First Time Swimming

As I imagined Kallen loved being in the water. He took to it right away and started splashing around and was soon splashing and kicking all around. His little legs wouldn't stop moving. It won't be long until he is a better swimmer than his Dad!

8 months old

We took Hobie and Kallen (mostly Hobie) up Millcreek Canyon to play in the snow!

If you follow the next 3 pictures Kallen takes Hobies toy from him, checks it out, and then Hobie ever so gently takes it back.

January 7th, the day Kallen turned 8 months he got the green light to take the helmet off for good. He now has a perfect head! He adjusted just fine to not having the helmet on.

Since Kallen has started feeding himself Hobie loves to wait and clean up all the spilled food off the floor. His nose rests perfectly on the top of the highchair. At least we never have to vacuum.

Like father, like son!

Oregon Trip December 2008

Kallen had a fun 10 days in Oregon visiting family and friends. He had fun exploring around Grandma and Grandpa's house as he gained confidence and balance crawling and standing. He loved going after the dog and cat food bowl (hence the barrier preventing him from going into the kitchen).
