Baby's First Christmas

We went to visit Kirk's Poppy, Lisa , Tanner and Great Granny Walker on Christmas Eve after mass. Cousin Holden, Uncle Brandon, and Aunt Chanda were there, too. Kirk had a great night and got LOTS of presents!

Kirk fell asleep on our bed with his baby glow worm from Great Granny Dean. Kirk wore his sweater coat to Great Granny Dean's Christmas party. Pretty cute, huh?




Big Week!

On Monday, December 21st, Kirk and I had our first overnight trip to the Gibson's in Lexington. Kirk and I had a good trip and Suzana was so happy to have him at her house. She was a big helper and wanted to take good care of him. She threw away all his dirty diapers and wanted to give him his pacifier when he was upset! I was a bit nervous about taking him away from home (and Daddy!) overnight, but it went well. We had a fun day on Tuesday at Barnes & Noble for story time. They read "The Night Before Christmas" (the same book we have at home!) and Santa came to see the kiddos. Kirk was fine on Santa's lap, but Suzana just admired him from afar. We bought some new books and then did a little shopping. Kirk wasn't too impressed with the shopping, he fell asleep!

Kirk is four months old!

It's is really hard to believe four months have gone by. Kirk has had a busy week. He got shots on Wednesday (ouch!) and had his first bite of cereal on Wednesday evening. He also went to his first Herd basketball game on Saturday (and I FORGOT to take a picture!) and had a great time. We went with Martyn, Trista, Ady, and Neuhaus. He got passed around to everyone and sat quitely starting intently at the court the whole time. It was good to see everyone and we especially enjoyed spending time with Ady; she's growing up so fast. She liked "baby Kirk" and is such a big girl these days. I think Kirk really likes basketball and we're looking forward to the rest of the season!

We're looking forward to eating our "solid" foods....just rice cereal for now, but it's something new and fun to do. He's enjoying his new jumper and he will stare at the pictures in books as I read. He laughs out loud and kicks and splashes a lot in the bathtub. He is so much fun!
Jeremy fed Kirk some cereal...I'm sure he'll get better with this whole spoon thing with some practice!

Kirk's first bite of cereal...I'm pretty sure he got more on his bib than in his mouth!


Kirk is enjoying his pirate shoes that Rachael got him. He also likes showing off how big he is!

Pictures with Santa




We decided to get pictures with Santa with cousin Bella at the mall today. Both babies were very good and told Santa that all they wanted for Christmas was a good night's sleep for their parents....haha! It was fun and both of them look so cute in the picture. We know our family will love the photo of the two of them together. Hopefully, we can make it a holiday tradition for the cousins!




Kirk loves Christms!

I think Kirk is going to love Christmas as much as his mama! He loves looking at the lights in our house, especially the ones on the tree. For those of you who love Kirk enough to buy him a Christmas present, he has a very short list this year:
  • 3-6 month or 6 month pajamas (we like the warm ones with feet)
  • toys that light up or play music
  • 3-6 month or 6 month clothes (we like easy pull-on pants and onesies)
  • bath toys

Of course, we will love anything that he receives and we are so thankful that he has so many people in his life who love him so much!

Kirk is happy by the Christmas tree.




Hanging out by the tree...

Kirk loves to look at the Christmas tree at our house. He also loves to sit in his Bumbo chair and look around. Here he is enjoying both!

Busy Baby

Grandma Kirk sent one of Kirk's Christmas presents a little early. We got his Baby Einstien jumper/activity center on Wednesday last week, and we just couldn't wait to put it together to see how he liked it. He loves it! He can bounce, play music, spin around, and grab for toys. His little feet barely touch the ground and we have to put a blanket around him since his little body doesn't quite fill up the seat. He laughs and coos at the toys and has a great time. Thanks so much Grandma! We love it!
