Yes, the wee little man looks a bit concerned in this photo taken at the neighborhood pool. It's probably because the water was a bit nippy and very deep--a whole 12 inches. He did enjoy splashing around though . . .so much that he needed a nap immediately afterward in the beach towel.
We reported on Keenan's newfound spitting talent a few weeks ago. He has now taken it to the next level--spitting FOOD. You can only imagine how proud his mom is of him. He even seems to prefer the enjoyment of spitting and seeing his mom's not-so-thrilled reaction over the enjoyment of tasting food and having a full belly. Mom and Dad hope this is a very sort stage in his development!
Another "habit" Keenan has developed is rolling onto his belly in the middle of the night. Now, he's past the main window for SIDS risk, so this really shouldn't be a big deal at all. However, he rolls on his belly and than screams and wails until someone comes in and flips him back over. We know, as well as he knows, he's perfectly capable of doing it himself. . .last night, mom or dad had to make at least 3 trips into his room to flip him over like a pancake. Again, we're hoping this is a very short stage!
PadThai got a new name when he entered the world outside the womb. . .we introduce Keenan Charles Ulrich, born at 4:58 a.m. on January 21st, 2008. He surprised us all when he chose to make his big debut three weeks earlier than his due date, tipping the scales at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.
He's our lil' bundle of perfection, and we'll share him with our friends and family through this web site.

It's good to have friends
Keenan, Will, and Peyton (Will and Peyton are siblings)
Ben's birthday (BIG 33!) is sneaking up on us, so we thought we'd use the occasion as an excuse to have a few friends over and use the deck. It was our first true "gathering" at the house that involved multiple mobile munchkins. Keenan had a great time making googly eyes at his two older lady friends, Peyton and Molly, and chilling on the playmat with his good buddy and "birthday twin" Will.Saturday, August 2, 2008
SPIT a.k.a. "pbpbpbpbpbt"
The parenting books say kids are supposed to start making consonant-like sounds now and using their mouths like a musical instrument. If that's the case, maybe some kind of horn will be in Keenan's future. Check out how much he enjoys pursing his lips together and blowing out:
Note: Dad needed at least four takes to get this on camera. Our little ham would stop playing the "instrument" as soon as Dad click the camera's shutter. Hence, the video starts with the camera beneath the table as we try to hide it from him!
