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.

Apologies go out to all the doting grandparents out there! I know you have all been eager to see what mischief Mr. Keen was up to on Halloween, and I have been lax about getting the photo evidence up on the blog. Better late than never!

Keenan did enjoy his first Halloween--he happily donned a fuzzy candy corn suit to please his momma. We trotted him around to a few of our favorite neighbors to show of the mini-man's adorability (not a word, but you get the idea). On Keenan's behalf, we gladly accepted the candy offered to him. And then we ate it. Didn't offer him a piece. Poor guy. . .I think we'll let him have some candy next year when he's a big boy and can carry his own trick-or-treat bag himself.

Keenan has discovered a new trick. . .pull-ups UNDER the coffee table. The space beneath the coffee table is his new favorite hang-out spot. Check out him demonstrating his amazing talent in the photo below. Bet you can't do that!

Lastly, almost everyone loves dogs and babies. But, you may not be surprised to learn that dogs don't always love babies. . .especially babies that bulldoze themselves into happily bone-chewing dogs. Click the arrow to play the video.
