The first couple weeks

I can't believe Kelson is 2 1/2 weeks old already. Time has actually been going by pretty fast. We have had some visitors and taken a few local trips to visit friends & family. During the end of his first week/beginning of his second week he had jaundice pretty bad. Luckily we were able to do special light therapy at home. With persistent feedings and the light therapy, Kelson is feeling much better. He sleeps a lot and has his nights and days a little mixed up. Kelson still doesn't like his bassinet, so it is becoming quite exhausting for Shannon and I to hold him at night while he sleeps. I am hoping that one day he will actually lay in his bassinet and stay asleep for a few hours. I am sure it will come with time!

Big brother Kaydin loves Kelson (except when he is crying), he is always giving him kisses and telling him different things.

Kelson is pretty strong, even the nurses commented on how strong he was right after he was born. He lifts his head up pretty good and has very strong legs. He doesn't mind being on his belly on the floor. I am looking forward to the day that he actually smiles back at us. I have seen his smile a couple times and I look forward to seeing it a lot more.

He is so cute. Congrats again, Kami. Believe it or not, looking at those pictures is making me baby hungry! Say hi to David for me next time you talk to him.
