I'm Superman!!!!!

Cute little fingerprints in the rolls that were raising.....

Kelan doesn't like the pillows on our bed. He likes them on the floor so he can jump on them.

At least he is dressed in this picture.....

Kelan's idea of a superman cape, he loves the laundry basket....

Watching Kelan is always a fun filled day. He is always entertaining and up for a photo shoot. We are so grateful to have this little guy living with us. He is a joy....

A day in the Life....

But grandma, this isn't punishment, I love the swiffer-wet.....And next time you get distracted you'd better think twice when you hear the pitter-patter of little feet on the kitchen floor and the refridgerator door open and shut.

Lots of help, and into everything......

A little grape juice never hurt anything......
