ALL OVER MICHIGAN

For 3 months old, KJ sure does travel around a lot. We are trying very hard to work him into our busy lives, making him adapt to being out and about. Aiming to keep adult normalcy while we still can...the more kids that come along, the more we will be tied to the house!

On Friday, the whole family took a trip down to Comerica Park to watch the Tigers. While we only stayed for enough time to get a hot dog and watch a couple of innings, it was still a nice time. It was KJ's first game and the staff kept telling us to go to Customer Relations because they had a certificate for first timers. Numerous people would stop us and tell us about the certificate. So, before we left the diamond, we stopped. Five minutes of our life wasted! We were handed a piece of white paper with a faded photocopy of a certificate and the lady at the desk wrote KJ's name and the date on it with a blue felt tip pen. Seriously, I think I will design one for the Tigers and send it to them so they don't embarrass the franchise any longer.


KJ and I drove to Kalamazoo on Saturday for the rest of the weekend. We were able to meet Izzy for the first time at her baptism on the 26th. You can't judge by their size, but Izzy is a week older than KJ. In fairness, KJ was a week late and Izzy came a month early. It was great to see Jess, Mike and Izzy and we can't wait for them to move back to Michigan soon.


We spent the rest of the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa, traveling all around to see the rest of our Kalamazoo family. For being dragged all over the place, KJ was a doll.

WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

What a big boy. Our little guy is officially 3 months old. He weighed in at 14 pounds, 12 ounces and 26 inches long at the doctor's office and continues to amaze me as he outgrows some of his 6 month clothing! What a weed.

KJ is working on a lot of motor skills now- reaching for toys, trying to find his feet and constantly chewing on his hands. I don't know how he stays hydrated with all of his drool. Thank goodness that people give babies a free pass on gross things like drool.

KJ is still going to physical therapy for his torticollis, but he is making good progress. He should only need to go for a couple of more weeks, with Kurt and I working with him at home for a few more months. Man, this parent thing is a lot of work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

The family took a trip to Whitehall, Michigan to celebrate the 4th of July. We stayed at the Kniff's cottage and had a wonderful time with Trudy, Doug, Jeremy, Katrina, Grandma and Grandpa.

It was KJ's first time in the swimming pool. He is a water baby. He loved the warm water and was sad to get out. I was a bit neurotic and only had him in the water for a little while to make sure that he didn't get too much sun.

KJ was also excited to spend quality time with a few of his favorite people, getting lots of hugs and kisses.
