Well, another month has gone by! Time just ticks away! Kannon is such a joy to us. Every day he does something that makes us laugh. He is definitely gonna be a talker! He makes sounds all the time, and you can carry on a long conversation with him. It's pretty funny. He likes to scream now (in excitement) and he sounds like a girl when he does it. (Joey doesn't think that's too funny ha ha) Kannon tries to mock the sounds we make and is grabbing whatever he can. Yesterday he rolled over and I missed it! One minute he was on his belly and the next he was on his back, and I have no idea how he did that! He is eating a little baby food now and seems to like it. He still sleeps all night and that is so great for me! Kannon is such a blessing to us.....it's such a reward to have this precious little boy in our lives. It's also a blessing to be able to take him to Mom and Dad's every day. He gets excited when he sees them. It's a lot easier to leave him when I know how well he is being taken care of. Joey's Mom is good with him, too, and keeps him one day a week, and on the evening we play volleyball.
Kannon is quite the chunk! At his most recent appointment a few days ago, he weighed in at 18 lbs. 9 0z and was 25 1/2 inches long! He's got the broadest shoulders and chest, and the longest arms! ( I don't know where he gets it from) The doctor says he's healthy and very, very strong. We got Kannon a jumparoo,(in the pic above) and he loves it......so he is getting some exercise! ha ha I think he's gonna be big like his Daddy.
Kannon does have to have surgery on the tear ducts in his eyes in a couple of weeks. They have been blocked since he was 3 weeks old. Sometimes they get better on their own, but the doctor says his probably won't, and surgery is next. It's a minimal procedure, though, so we are just ready to have it done. You can tell his eyes really bother him and now he rubs them.
We had Kannon's dedication at church yesterday. It was a beautiful day and service. God has blessed us beyond imaginable by allowing us to have this baby boy. It was pretty funny when the Pastor said he was gonna give Kannon a Cubs jersey, though, and I reached in Joey's pocket and pulled out the Cardinals hat and put it on Kannon's head! What else would you expect from us?

He is starting to look so much like Julie's baby pictures. His smile lights up a room. I have the picture of Kannon with the Cardinals hat on before his dedication ceremony began. I will try and get it on my blog soon. It's really late now.
Tracy, I was going to comment the same that Kannon is really starting to look like Julie's baby pictures.
He is so special and so very sweet!
I thought the Dedication Ceremony was really nice. Kannon was really watching the Pastor when he was talking.
I was really amazed at how large Joey's side of the family is. I always thought we had a big family! It is nice to know that you, Joey, and Kannon are loved by so many people!
I thought that was so funny when the Pastor thought he was going to pull one over on you guys yet you were a step ahead of him! Kannon looked so cute in that Cardinals hat!
I was really happy with the way the dedication went, especially since we decided to do it so last minute. He is such a blessing!
The Cardinals hat was appropriate since our Pastor is always trying to whisper "Cubs" in his ear when he gets a chance. ha ha
Joey does have a big family, too, and there are a lot more. We are very blessed to have such wonderful family on both sides.
