Happy 30 weeks!

Here are a few pics from Kieran's 29-30 week of life. The MU shirt came from Kieran's most recent lab-rat experience at Mizzou's child developmental lab. We dressed him in his parent's Alma Mada colors for the big football game yesterday but as of now, we have no idea who won.
This past week Kieran was with grandma and grandpa again as Sheila is still out of town. Today, uncle Joe will be coming to hang out which Kieran loves because he gets to pull on Joe's beard- what fun!
Kieran went with mommy to McTeacher night this week and had a lot of fun meeting mommy's teacher friends and getting passed around for lots of love. Of course he was very well behaved ;)

Happy 29 weeks!

Happy 29 weeks big boy! Kieran is fairing very well with his new and temporary daycare situation. While Sheila is away on vacation, Grandma, Grandpa and "Uncle" Joe are caring for our little man during the school day. Of course everyone is loving their time with Kieran- who wouldn't? The first couple days grandma had a rough go of it with naps but once grandpa figured out that Kieran just needed a chest to sleep on rather than the pack-n-play mattress, all was well ;)
Kieran has added carrots to his diet this week and seems to be liking them pretty well. He also tried out his two new teeth on raw apple chunks- in the nummy-pouch of course!
For this week's photo shoot mommy decided to try out a sweet Tigger costume that came from Grandma D. As you can see, he was absolutely adorable in it!

This and that...

Here is a random mix of the happenings of Kieran's last few days...

The first two pictures were taken yesterday afternoon when I returned home from work to find Kieran sacked out on grandpa's chest. This is apperantly the only place he would sleep for naps yesterday when grandpa sat for us, as Sheila is out of town. Guess he's got grandpa wrapped around his little finger as well!

The next pictures were taken at my parent's house. Just hanging out on the floor and enjoying some tummy-time.

The last two pictures were taken at the Jeff City Old Munichberg festival this past weekend. There was a lot of German-y goodness going on but we of course forgot to photograph the dachshund race or the polka dancing, instead we took a picture of this random bush with a migrating monarch- doesn't really tell the whole story of the day- but it's pretty though ;)

Fun at the sitters!

Sheila and her husband Roger had a good time playing dress up with Kieran earlier this week... although we are not sure who Kieran is supposed to be, we are sure it's pretty funny! "I think those are supposed to go on the other end kiddo!"

28 weeks old!

Happy birthday big boy! Mommy missed the weekly owl-pal photo shoot last night as she was called away to work (grandparent's night)... so daddy was in charge. I think the photo's turned out great- despite the lack of a female perspective ;)
Kieran is more and more vocal all the time and it seems he has begun to randomly add consonant sounds to his repertoire such as "Ba" "Da" "Ga" and "Ma"... no words yet but we are on our way for sure!
Kirean is also working on perfecting the art of rolling in both directions. He's no Olympic gymnast just yet, but at least he can usually roll towards what he wants now!
This past week we added green beans and plums to our ever-expanding baby menu and surprisingly, Kieran seemed to really enjoy them both! Mommy has Kieran eat a vegie for every dinner, but apperently daddy saw no reason for this last night and when left to his own devices, decided a supper of plums and oats was just fine- and I guess it was too ;)

Peas and funny faces...
