Happenings

There have been several requests, so I'm finally giving in and posting an update of what's been going on with the Kempes! Shepherd turned 9 weeks on Saturday and had his 8 week doctor's appointment last week. Sadly, that meant his first shots. All in all he did very well, but the screaming after the shots and sore legs at home were so so sad! He weighed in at 12lb 5 oz and was 23.75 in long! He is around the 75th percentile for weight and height. He's already having to wear 6 month size onesies because his torso is so long! How he is growing so well beats me because he is definitely not an all star in the eating department, but we trust that he'll get better with time. As far as sleeping goes he has slept through the night about three times and is going 5-6 hours before waking up on most nights. Yay! He is getting stronger and stronger and can hold himself up pretty well during tummy time. Especially if there's something fun to look at, like a mirror! He can also roll over from front to back if he gets really ambitious! He is smiling a lot - it's amazing the things that 2 grown adults will do to get a baby to smile! We are loving time with our new little guy. He is certainly a blessing from the Lord!

Snuggled into the moby wrap

So necessary.
