_________________________________________________________________________________

Stop the presses! Mr. Keenan Ulrich rolled over for the first time this morning. No one actually witnessed this remarkable event, but his momma knows that she put him down on the floor on his back with some toys, and when she came back into the room a minute later, he was on his belly propped up on his elbows, smiling.

In other headlines, Mr. Keenan Ulrich also had his first taste of solid food this paste week. Yum. Rice flakes mixed with formula. He sure did gobble it down. . .see the little video below. We promise it's darn cute.

This pasty white goo is good stuff!

One more story for the front page. . .Mr. Keenan Ulrich is currently recovering from his first illness(es). The poor little guy came down with a cold, which turned into the beginnings of an ear infection; and he also had a pretty bad case of thrush, a common mouth infection of breast-fed babies. Luckily baby antibiotics taste like bubble-gum, so Keen has been very happy to take his meds twice a day. . .and to taste something other than milk.

Lots of Daddies and Babies

Jason (son Ty), Ben (daughter Peyton), Daddy (me), Brian (daughter Molly), and Brandon (daughter Haley)

Mom and Dad took me to Burke Lake Park for a picnic over Memorial Day weekend, and boy oh boy, was it fun! I got to "play" with lots of my friends--here's five of us with our daddies. There were another 5 boys running around that didn't make it into this picture. . .I guess my Mom and Dad have some prolific friends!

And here's me all stretched out on my belly, looking at myself in the mirror. Mom says I'm long and skinny, just like my Daddy. How do you like my noggin? Round and hairless. . .just like Daddy, too!
