Keaton Update

So, it's been a REALLY long time since I've blogged and sent out an update on Mister K. I'll tell you why. I became addicted to playing solitaire on Eric's phone during late night feedings rather than blogging or checking my email.

Keaton has been busy. He has been busy eating. Yes, eating. That's pretty much all he does. He is 2 months and 12 pounds. Yes, 12 pounds...at this rate, he'll be 20 pounds by Christmas and out of his infant car seat. He is pretty heavy to carry in his carseat already, and I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to carry him in it. He is officially out of newborn clothes and diapers. He's wearing 3-6 month sizes and his size 1 diapers seem to be getting smaller by the day. This kid is going to be bigger than me in no time! (I can just hear Eric say, well that's not going to be hard)! :)

Keaton also has the best SMILE!! I had a really cute video of him smiling, but it was too big to load, so I'll have to try again, and be sure not to make it a 15 minute video. I'm sure whoever is reading this will be happy about that! :) K is also getting ready to TALK! He loves to COO.

K is also getting really good at SLEEPING! Yahoo! He sleeps anywhere from 5 1/2 to 7 hours at night. I can't believe it. I feel like Super Woman!

Here are some pictures of Keaton's latest adventures:

Keaton had a special visitor - Kristin Rogers made a trip all the way from Nashville to see him! Well, not just him...but that's what we're telling him. She knitted him the cutest snowboarder's hat. LOVE IT!

Keaton made his first trip to a major Fashion boutique and met one of my favorite people - Lauren Metz, my former boss from NCM. Lauren owns DELISH DEMURE...an incredible fashion boutique. Check it out at www.delishdemure.com.

Keaton's first trip to the zoo! We had so much fun with Ally and her kids that we decided to get an annual pass. I'm so excited about going to the ZOO - and I think Keaton is too! :)

The New Nap

I can tell this bear is a mama. She is so tired she can sleep anywhere, and by the looks of it, she is napping as high up and as far from her cub's little paws as she can get. Smart Mama Bear.

Welcome Makenna Mae!

Here she is - Tiff and Matt's beautiful little girl!!!! Keaton already loves her! She was born early Monday morning - 5 lbs 15 oz! She is a little peanut! :)

Family Fun, Part II

The past week has been filled with lots of family, help and the bustle of activity. Eric's parents arrived last Sunday to help with Keaton. They cooked, cleaned and LOVED ON KEATON! They are very excited Grandparents!

Also, the GREAT Grandparents came into town with Cousin Chaz. It was so great to see them and very fun to get to introduce them to their first Great Grandchild!

Exploding Fish

I was complaining to my friend, Emily, (who just had a boy born 8 pounds 12 ounces- ouch) that all Keaton wants to do is eat 24/7. She said, "sounds like our little boys have the same goal...to become as fat as possible."

This made me laugh and think (morbidly) of the time when I was five or so. I came home from school to a tragedy.

My beloved goldfish, NikkiVicki (I couldn't decide what name I liked better Nikki or Vicki...so I just named it both: NikkiVicki), had died. Well, it had "exploded." Those were the words my brother used, anyways. Apparently I fed him too much, and it...exploded.

This brings me to a serious question:

can you feed a baby too much????

*See the goldfish on Keaton's blanket? I thought I was pretty clever!

Happy One Month Birthday, Keaton

Dear Keaton,

Happy 4 weeks on this earth today! We are so glad you were born to us. Your Dad and I are your biggest fans. We have known you for only four weeks, yet we feel as though a piece of us is missing when we are not in the same room as you. You have our hearts forever.

We love you,

Mom and Dad

Who's Your Daddy?

Eric Victor Ochocki 7.7.80

Keaton Jeffrey Ochocki 7.1.09

Well, there is no doubt about who this boy's daddy is! (Not that we were worried about that). :0)
