As for the nine months-which is how old Kei is now! I didn't post on his actual nine month b-day because I forgot to schedule his nine month well check. We did it yesterday and my lil shrimp is growing, but still a little shrimp.
He is 27 1/2 inches long - about 20th percentile. He weighs 17 lbs and 3 oz. which is only in the 5th percentile. I had a hard time believing that one. You should see this kid eat. He's bottomless! His head is 17 1/2 in around - 25th percentile. I don't think he looks all that skinny either. He's just got a monstrous metabolism I suppose. Our pediatrician said he looked great other than the runny nose he's got from cutting the fourth tooth on top. I did decided to try him on formula again. This is about where I dried up with Cameron and I'm feeling like that's going to be happening here soon so since it's been a phenomenal failure in the past I figured he'd have to get used to it. I bought the off brand soy with all the added stuff and he LOVES it AND he doesn't stink like formula! He takes one bottle a day and more if I need to go somewhere during a feeding! Freedom never felt so sore!
He is such a wiggle worm, he does it in his sleep. So for nine months here's our little guy! Kei is so precious. He is a snuggler and loves to be held. He also has incredible hand-to-mouth reflexes. I never realized how good I had it with Cam back in the day. He almost never put anything in his mouth. Kei on the other hand...if you can see it, you can taste it. Vacuuming has never been so necessary. He's more shy than Cameron and definitely more reserved around others. He's for sure a Momma's boy. However, he has a wild streak. If the gate is open, watch out world there he goes. He's a fast lil booger! These two could not be more different and it's amazing to be their mom!
As for the six years...well Adam and I just celebrated our 6 th anniversary! I can't believe it's come and gone. I can't believe all the things we've crammed into those 6 small years. As I get a little older the time passes a little faster all the time. We didn't do much. We just went for ice cream, dinner at Cheddar's and saw Get Smart (which was so funny) then went for some coffee. I also happened to snag the first chapter of Breaking Dawn!!!! WOW!!! On our actual anniversary Adam took me to a late breakfast. I'd love to say things have been peaches and cream, but the fact that we got to celebrate an anniversary is a miracle. We're always so busy and we've had a rough year. Adam is nearly done with school! One last semester and he has to finish up the rest of this summer semester. He wants to go ahead and get his masters over with but I've pleaded for him to give me some time here. He is doing really well in his supervisor position with Best Buy and he's really enjoying it. I'm not enjoying the hours so much, but I'm so happy that he's finally doing what he loves! Some have asked if I'm going to finish school now that he's almost done. No, not right now. I'm working part time at a mother's day out and the boys go with me. Other than that I'm going to focus on our children and Adam. We do plan on having one more in a couple of years and then I will probably go sometime after that. I'm so glad that I have Adam and that he's the one who wants to put up with me! This might just be unbearable with anyone else! We'll have many more years for things to calm down and have more "us" time. Until then I'll stay up as late as he does and get up when the boys do, lol. I love you Adam!
