Three months
Our youngest baby just turned 3 months old! Keith is a very happy baby, he smiles all the time. During our time here in Kiev, he has had a consistent schedule. He wakes up and goes to bed about the same times as the girls, around 8 or 9 am and about 9 pm at night. He will sleep for about 8 hours or so then wakes up to eat just once around 5 in the morning. I am breastfeeding him six times a day and he takes four naps during the day. When we are home Keith does a good job at falling asleep on his own, but when we are out I carry him in the Baby Bjorn carrier and he does a good job in that too staying happy and falling when it’s his nap time. He has recently started drooling, so I’m thinking teeth might be on their way soon. He has been doing a fairly good job at keeping his head steady by himself, but that’s something we are working on.
We love this little guy to pieces!
Walking the Descent
There are so many old church buildings here to go and see. They are really so large and beautiful. I’ve been adding links back to Wikipedia, so if you’re interested on reading more about them, click on their names. This next one, St. Andrew’s, was on a cobblestone road called Andrew’s Descent which is on a very windy steep hill. All along the road are merchants selling paintings, souvenirs and other random items.

Coffee is really popular here and can be found everywhere, including the back of this guy’s truck

Lots to see
Thursday we walked up the street from us to see St. Sophia’s Cathedral and in the square in front of the cathedral were all these chickens. Not sure why. There weren’t any signs describing anything. So we took some pictures with them. Why not? Who doesn’t like a colorful chicken?

We also saw this piano asking to be played
