the jet set

Well, I'm back from my venture to the far-off land of Tacoma, Washington. Here I am with my parents, who were also visiting my sister--and little Kellen, the newest edition to our clan. I know you can't see his face, but he's smiling, too. Trust me.
Either that or he was asleep. That, in my opinion, is one of the best things about newborn babies--they sleep a lot. Sleep, eat, sleep, poop, sleep, sleep, eat...And oh so cute the whole time. Much cuter than I would be if I engaged in similar behavior. But I'm not jealous--I can hold up my own head, and sit up--and even walk. Yeah. Take that, cute little baby.

comparison study

Well, there's been some speculation in the family that Kellen looks just exactly like his big sister did when she was born. Let's check...

Kellen Douglas


Avery Mae



Hmm. I'm not sure. Babies all kind of have that same squishy little face. I'll have to compare again in a few weeks or months, maybe. What do you guys think?

it's raining babies!

...and also congratulations to my sister Andrea and her husband Doug on the birth of their son Kellen. Kellen was born last Tuesday afternoon, but I've only just received pics today. Yep, it's a baby, all right. And a drastically cute one, too. Here he is with his big sister Avery.

Only two more weeks--no, less than that--and I'll be out there in Tacoma to meet him personally. I can't wait. No one else have a baby while I'm gone! My schedule will get all backed up. It's already chock full.
