Growing Up

K has officially entered the organizing phase of toddlerdom. Everything must be categorized and stacked in its appropriate place (according to him).  Cute, but it means my little guy is growing up. 😕

Foodie

The good news--K ate all of his pasta.

The bad news--well, I think that's obvious. 

What post-Christmas Looks Like

Normal Weekend

Last weekend was just a normal weekend around here.  We ran some errands, finished up Christmas present shopping and bought groceries.  Nevertheless, these two always make it interesting.

We must have lost our minds, but we decided to put up two Christmas trees this year.  With two children under 4.  I don't know what possessed us.  The goods news is that the trees look fantastic.  The bad news is that K loves to eat ornaments.  *sigh.

The first tree is the more traditional tree.  It lives in the dining room against the front windows.  It is also the fake tree that we inherited from the great grandparents.

The second tree is the "kid" tree.  It is in the living room against the back windows.  Basically, no matter if you're viewing our house from the front or behind, you'll see Christmas lights twinkling through the windows.  This is a real tree that the kids were absolutely no help in picking out.

Life as we know it

It's been a rough few weeks here at the O house. Everyone has been sick, and it's put a substantial damper on...everything. The kids, at least, are starting to come around, and we should be out of the weeds soon. Basketball season is also ramping up, which means lots of flirting with cheerleaders for K.

Yum

Look at my little guy eating his sandwich like a grown up. Even JT doesn't eat his sandwiches like this yet. K is growing up way too fast!

Ugh

So, I'm going to try very hard to pull this blog out of the neglected nether regions where it has languished for the last year. There are a lot of great pictures and updates that have not made their way here. I am resolving to do better. But if nothing else, at least Mr. Sassy Pants is getting his chance to say hi.

Ouch!

Lately, K has been walking around chewing on his board books to soothe his teething pain. The other day, a book bit back.

Poor baby!

Third Month

K's personality really came out this month and it shows in his pictures.

Now for everyone's favorite part...the bloobers.

Hands up!

Somewhat crazy baby...

Totally crazy baby.

There are no words...

Pooping.  Definitely pooping.

Small baby sneeze.

Big baby sneeze!

And a baby cough to round it out.

This makes me think of Zoolander for some reason...

 Sour. So sour.

There wasn't a doctor's appointment this month, so I have no measurements to give.  But no fear--he is definitely still growing (he's a heavy little sucker!).

Second Month

I'm just going to keep rolling with being at least one month behind on these posts.  K at two months old...

At two months old his measurements came in at:

Height -- 24.25 inches

Weight -- 12 pounds, 4 ounces

And no worries.  His three month pictures have been taken and will be queued up for next month.  

Probably until then (lol),

Happy Labor Day!

First Month

In celebration of Baby K's two month birthday (what?!? my baby can't be two months old already!!!), I am posting my favorite pictures from his first month/newborn photo session.  Because I'm timely like that...

At one month old, Baby K wasn't too good at (a) sitting still or (b) making angelic expressions.  He prefers faces that look something like this:

Anyway, despite his lack of compliance, he is a thriving boy.  At one month old his measurements came in at:

Height -- 22.75 inches

Weight -- 10 pounds, 15 ounces

As his doctor says, he's got that growing thing down. ;)
