Keegan's 2nd Month

(The beginning starts at the end of this post)

8.5 weeks and I just can't get enough of my little love bug! He doubled his birth weight, weighing 12 lbs and grew 4 inches, measuring 23 inches total. Hooray for mama's milk!

Below is Keegan is at CrossFit Oahu and is wearing noise canceling ear phones so he will hopefully stay asleep while mom works out!

At 7.5 weeks, Keegan is smiling on cue and starts sleeping with 5 hour stretches!

5.5 weeks and Keegan is finally awake!

I love mornings with Keegan. He greets me with his adorable smile.

First photo with 'Mr. Bear' at 5.5 weeks. We're tracking his growth by taking a picture with Mr. Bear every month.

Breastfeeding continues to go well as evidenced by Keegan's full cheeks!

Keegan's First Month

(The beginning of the month starts at the end of this post.)

Keegan's first visit to CrossFit Oahu (post natal) at 4 weeks old. He slept through the entire visit!

4 weeks old and still very sleepy...

3.5 weeks old and we're back in Hawaii. Keegan suddenly started loosing the hair on top of his head...

...and just some of my mom's family...

At 3 weeks old, Keegan met his great grandfather, "Dada"...

Happy family...

Keegan is now 3 weeks old and still absolutely beautiful!

Our babies / kids...

After Matt and Neda's wedding in San Jose, we flew down to San Diego so Keegan could meet my friends and family. Keegan practically slept threw the entire baby shower that my girlfriends threw.

Matt and Neda had a beautiful wedding and we're so glad we made it!

Proud Papa...

Pops and Mops meet Keegan for the first time...

Nana and Uncle JK meet Keegan for the first time in our room at Hotel Valencia.

2 weeks old and Keegan survives his first flight to the main land for Matt and Neda's wedding. He was awesome on the plane! I kept him protected under my nursing cover the entire time.

Still no body fat...

He was just a tiny little guy.

Below Keegan is 1 week old. I was admiring how cute he looked while he was stretching, but then his diaper started leaking and I had to quickly whisk him off the bed and pull the sheets off! This wasn't the last time this happened!

Play Time and Bath Time

Day 6 and Keegan is doing GREAT.  We had a follow up appointment at Kapiolani yesterday and all is well.  Besides that we're just hanging around the house getting to know our son.  

Below is a picture of Keegan enjoying a ride in his new swing 

from his Uncle Sombo, Anutie Jen and Cousin Kiana.

BATH TIME.

We can't give him a real bath until his belly button heals up completely, so for now he's enjoying sponge baths.

Brad has been a wonderful father and husband (of course)! He burps Keegan after each feeding and has been on diaper duty since he was born. When Brad goes back to work, I'll have to take a refresher course on how to change diapers! Brad has also taken it upon himself to keep our home tidy, doing laundry, dishes and cooking since I was busy nursing every one to three hours around the clock! Thank the lord he's been around and not deployed! Yay Brad!

Now let's go back in time a bit...

Here is Brad practicing for diaper duty at the Infant Care Class we took:

Then Keegan makes his entrance after 40 weeks and 1 day...and no more dolls for Brad

Photo from day 6...

Early days at the hospital...

Look at how tiny Keegan is with his face next to Brad's thumb...

The father son talks begin...

"Yeah, uh-huh Dad but...

...I'm hungry".

Back at home:

The ultimate fencing pose...

Look at his tiny little feet...
