Naked Bumbo Fun!

Kieran has discovered the joy of sitting up straight- thanks to Bumbo! We had tried this out a few times before but always whilst wearing a bulky cloth diaper which squished his tummy and made him uncomfortable. This time we went comando and were met with much success!

Happy 15 week birthday!

Kieran is bigger every day and getting stronger all the time!

Happy Father's Day!

Kieran spent today with daddy and grandpa (and mommy, grandma Sandy, grandma Jo, auntie Shannon, uncle JT, and cousin Presley too!) at my folks' house for Father's Day. We enjoyed a delicious meal of steak, fresh trout, asparagus, crunchy slaw, fresh fruit salad, roles and three desserts- chocolate cake, gooseberry pie and cookies! MMMMM!!!
Thank you to mom, dad and Sandy for all the cooking and preparations that made Rick's first Father's Day so much fun!

First giggles caught on camera!

Kieran and I played a game of patty-cake today, with both feet and hands, while Rick recorded the action and caught some of those first, precious little giggles! Every day brings something new, something amazing- we are just having so much fun with our little man!

Happy 14 week birthday!

Kieran is 14 weeks today!
We have had a rather busy week as the daycare we had planned for the school year unexpectedly fell through a couple days ago- leaving us up a creek without a paddle! Luckily- our backup plan- the YMCA- still had a slot open. We really had wanted an in-home for Kieran's first few years but after this disapointing experience, we have decided that perhaps a center will be better if for no other reason than the reliability factor! Of course, idealy, mommy would stay home with her little man for the first year but alas it's just not in our financial cards :( However, I will say that Kieran did seem very interested in the babies and toys we saw during our visits to the Y... so perhaps it will end up being a good thing... here's hoping for the best!

My little owlet

Kieran has taken to cooing more and more this week... such a sweet little sound :)
