Happy 31 weeks!

Kieran is 31 weeks old today and currently he is enjoying a little floor time before breakfast.

This week Sheila has returned and so Kieran has been back on his normal routine again... which is nice for everyone :)

He is cutting a new tooth- top right incisor- and it is coming in with a vengeance and seems to be bothering him a lot more than his first two... poor little man.

New to the baby menu is acorn squash which Kieran seems to like pretty well. Kieran continues to eat... a lot. He is currently up to 4-6 cubes of food for lunch and dinner... grow big boy grow!

Some older pics... from grandma

Here are some pics from Kieran's 6 month birthday and before taken at grandma/grandpa's house with grandma's camera. The other adorable baby in the shots is none other than cousin Presley... what a little sweetie!

Happy 7 month birthday!

Kieran is 7 months old today! Hard to believe I know! Today he got up on all fours for a moment while visiting with Auntie Lori... watch out world... Kieran's getting ready to crawl! These pics were taken in the office over a quick dinner of pizza and lots of fun with Kieran surrounded by his toys, mommy, daddy and Gracie. Happy birthday big boy!

Lovely weekend... despite the weather!

Kieran spent this past weekend with family and we all had a lovely time, despite the unseasonably cold weather!

Saturday the three of us went to the Orr Street art fair and enjoyed a Sweedish breakfast at Svens while we watched a ballet class! Then we took in lots of art at the Orr studios and then down town at a few of the varrious galleries. Next, we visited with Grandpa Rother and Kimi and had a chance to see the new house they are rehabbing- FORE! We finished the day with some warm-you-up drinks at Starbucks and a quiet dinner at home.

Sunday, mommy made lots of baby foods- adding acorn squash to the expanding list of "things Kieran eats". Then the three of us headed out to Grandma/Grandpa's place for some yummy soups, fruit salad and chocolate-raspberry cake- good stuff! As you can see, Kieran enjoyed all the attention from auntie Shannon and grandpa and hanging out with cousin Presley... he especially like pulling auntie's earrings and grandpa's nose!

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 ;)
