Happy 24 week birthday!

Happy groovy birthday big boy! Kieran is modeling a vintage puppy leisure suit in his birthday pics this evening. This happenin' beige speed suit was imported from the Phillipeans some 30 years ago and belonged to his father. We just couldn't resist this little impromptu fashion show and we had to share our fun- enjoy!

Bring on the tooth fairy!

That's right folks... at 5 months, 1 week and 5 days... Mr. Kieran is officially cutting his very first tooth! As per usual, mommy was feeling around on those pink gums this evening, expecting the usual... not a whole lot... when lo and behold... there it was... a sharp, rough edge coming through in the front on the bottom right side... the very first TOOTH!!! Kieran is about to join the baby with teeth club! Mommy was very excited, as was daddy although we can hardly believe it's already here! Our little one is growing, growing, growing... in leaps and toothy bounds! Slow down little one, while mommy and daddy try and keep up!
Pics of the actual tooth will follow, as soon as there is enough to photograph!

Thank you Auntie Joyce!

Auntie Joyce sent Kieran an early 6 month gift the other day... an adorable baby- blue fleece jacket with his initals embroidered on the front! We love the pointy tasseled hat too! Sooo cute! Can't wait for some crisp fall weather to try it out! Thank you to Auntie Joyce!

Happy 23 week birthday! (and naked fun!)

Kieran is 23 weeks old today and as usual I will have to say that he has changed so much! He is sitting up better and better every day which makes play time all that much more fun for Kieran and us! He is getting a little better at eating his cereal although he still isn't thrilled about it. Daycare is going well and Kieran is still doing a good job eating and sleeping for Sheila- which makes everyone happy!
In these pictures, Kieran is in his favorite outfit... his birthday suit! I think he is happiest whilst naked! I used to think he didn't roll over much because his cloth diaper was restrictive due to its bulk, but now that I see he doesn't do it much while he is naked either I have decided he just doesn't care much for the sensation!

1st "solid" meal

Kieran "enjoyed" his first very-semi-solid meal this week. We went ahead and gave him a little bit of rice cereal. Honestly, I don't think he was sure what to make of it and more of it went out rather than in... but all in all it was a good first try ;) Guess we will just have to keep at it and hope he gets the hang of it and starts to enjoy it at some point!

More fun with hats

Kieran and mommy played dress up today with a hat Grandma Sandy brought over yesterday. We think Rick used it for a costume. Anyway- it made for some very cute pictures!

Shopping with mommy and grandma

Kieran went to the Lake of the Ozarks to shop with mommy and grandma Jo today. He was a real champ- mellow as can be for all the shopping and a girlie lunch at the Yankee Tea Peddler. Although he was a bit fussy on the way home- but who can blame him after all that excitement! These are pics from lunch when Kieran got to try on a number of cute hats- what a sweetie!
PS Yes- mommy got her hair cut... auntie Shannon did a great job!
