7 months, a major milestone and a new friend!

Our Crazy CRAWLING boy! Koen turned 7 months on the 9th of February and seems to have the energy of a 2 year old! He finally figured out how to crawl and he has not stopped moving since :) Gone are my days of setting him on the floor to play with his toys while I fold the laundry... He wants to be a part of everything that I am doing...OR he's getting into something he shouldn't! The baby-proofing has begun! Along with crawling, he's still LOVING his food and has shown quite the interest in our food as well. He's a hungry boy....and he definitley has his dad's appetite! I've started making his babyfood because he's eating so much! He's started squeezing his hands together (sort of like the sign for milk) when I show him his food.... maybe his cousin Finn is teaching him sign language...or maybe just a coincidence. He's chatting a bit more and saying 'uh oh'... Again, probably just a coincidence, but when Kyle and I say "uh oh' to him, he repeats it!!! We're just waiting for the flood gates to open when the chatting really begins...he does have a few relatives that like to talk :)



On February 17, 2010, Koen's two friends, Tyra & Cullen, welcomed their new little sister to the world: Evelyn Claire Gustavson. She was 6lbs 15oz and 18 inches long. Her pictures are beautiful. Congratulations Gustavson's, we can't wait to meet her!

Koen's favorite toy!

This is Koen's latest thing....he loves running around in his walker! He's at the Dells here in his swimmer...so he looks naked! Funny!

Wisconsin Dells 2010!

The Annual Hemenway Christmas was pushed back this year to January where we continued our long tradition of going to the Wisconsin Dells. This year we decided to stay at the Wilderness Resort instead of the Kalahari for a change. We were shocked to find the waterpark so packed! We had a blast though....and Koen absolutely loved being in the water and watching his older cousins (Sam and Finn) splash around. Sam even took Koen down a mini slide! We had an amazing weekend!!!! Here are some of the highlights:

Little Swimmers on the head....

Finn wearing Sam's goggles. Too funny!

Happy Baby....the whole weekend!
