Busy Boy


Kirk has been a busy boy lately.  In this picture, he is eating strawberries and cool whip for the first time.  Needless to say, he liked it.  He just smeared it in with the spaghetti sauce all over his face from dinner!



We went to the Character Breakfast at the Civic Center on Saturday, March 12.  Gramma Debi (who is apparently on every phone we have in the house now, because he answers them by saying "HI DEBI!!) went with us.  Kirk liked the characters from a distance and just a little bit up close.  This was his reaction to Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird.  He kept staring at Elmo, and laughing!


He liked Mickey "Mouse" and Minnie.  He said their names and gave them a high five.





He wasn't too sure about it, but he tolerated standing close to Elmo with Daddy.



Clinging for his life, he allowed one picture to be taken with Cookie Monster!


Kirk loved his new Elmo shirt and shoes.



Kirk loves anything with a steering wheel!  He is driving a tractor at the Home and Garden Show in this picture!


Kirk said "rabbit" very well when we held and pet a little bunny. 
Someday, I'll tell him about my pet rabbit Honey Bunny that used to live in his room!



Kirk pet the goat "easy."  We've been working really hard on using a gentle touch!



He couldn't catch a pig to pet it "easy."  I climbed in later and pet one for him.  They sure are noisy little animals!


He giggled and pet the little chicks with one finger.  He tried to hold one, it didn't go so well.  I hadn't heard a little chick sqwak before.  I rescued him quick!



Jeremy likes to take Kirk to the park.  They went to the park today after his nap while I did some shopping at the mall.  Kirk likes to swing and says "WHEE!" the whole time! 

just hanging out


Then climbing in...Jeremy said he took this picture right before he fell head first into the hole!


He's all smiles when he's hanging out with his Daddy!  He sure does love to be outside!

The Walkers had a very busy Saturday.  I was glad to see that Kirk somewhat enjoyed seeing some of his (and my) favorite characters.  His Mama is a big Disney and Sesame Street fan, and I'm helping him along the way.  I also want him to respect and love animals, and I will take every chance we can get to be around them.  He absolutely loves playing outside, and as long as Daddy is around to do the stuff that makes me sick (swinging and spinning) and I have a little bug spray, we are good to go.  He is singing and dancing more than ever now and knows all the moves (and some words) to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "If You're Happy and You Know It."  We've got LOTS more songs to learn!   I'm getting so anxious for the summer months to get here so I can spend more time enjoying the simple things with my Kirky!
