Kingston likes to dress himself

Kingston has decided that no one can put his pants on except himself. By looking at the photos, you can tell that it doesn't go very well; they usually end up upside down AND backwards.

Thanksgiving

For the past few years, Jess and I have been trying to juggle going to all of our family parties for every holiday. This year we decided that we were going to start splitting holidays evenly. This year was the Jensen family Thanksgiving, and because our house has a slightly bigger kitchen we decided to have Grandma Karen and the uncles over to our house. This was my first time ever cooking a turkey and boy did it turn into a disaster. Thanksgiving dinner took hours and hours of preperation the night before but also the morning of. We woke up at 5:30 am and went Black Friday shopping and came back to start the turkey by 6:30 am. We were able to make stuffing, a beautiful ham, mashed potatoes, home made apple cider, corn, jello, and homemade rolls. However, by the time everything was ready to eat, the 21 pound turkey was only half way done. So we ate Thanksgiving dinner around 3:30 pm and the turkey wasn't done until 5:00 pm. We ended up having left over turkey and gravy for the next two weeks for lunch and dinners. Luckily, Kasen was able to relax the whole day away.

Our Little Man is 2 Months Old!

Our little man is already two months old! He is truly lighting up our lives each and every day. He is constantly smiling and has started to "screech" when he gets excited. When he screeches loud enough, it actually scares himself and he frantically looks around to make sure nothing is going on. He loves to kick and "coo" when Mommy blows in his face. He also loves when Daddy sings to him.

Kasen's 2 Mo Check-Up

We can't believe "Kasen Guy" is already 2 months old! He is an absolute angel baby! He weighs 11 pounds and 2 ounces, and eats like crazy. He eats about 5 ounces of formula every 3 hours, and sleeps constantly between feedings. He goes to bed around 10:00 PM and wakes up 8:00AM for a bottle then goes right back to sleep until almost noon. When he got his 2 month shots at his check-up, he cried so hard that he actually sat himself up to a 45 degree angle and held it for about 15 seconds. The nurses said they had never seen a baby that strong. Big brother, Kingston, and big sister, Maycie, love going to the doctors with him because they get a sucker and treats; I'm sure Kasen will love the doctors office too when he's able to eat suckers.

Kingston Is So Strong

Kingston decided he is really strong now and thinks that he can give Mommy piggy backs like Daddy gives him. So now he will randomly come up behind Mommy (even if Mommy is holding Kasen) and will put his head between Mommy's legs and grunt as if he is really trying to hold me up. Can't wait until Kingston is big enough to really give me a piggy back. ;)

Kasen Cache Curtis Has a Name and a Blessing

Our little man Kasen was blessed today on November 3rd, 2013. He is officially Kasen Cache Curtis, and his Daddy gave him the most beautiful blessing. Through the inspiration that Daddy was given while saying Kasen's blessing, we can tell that Kasen will bless our family and many others throughout his life. We are so excited to have added this little bundle of joy to our family.

As you can tell by the pictures above, the only way we can get Kingston to participate in pictures is if we bribe him with marshmallows ("mallows") or some sort of treat.
