Kane's First Christmas Part I

Kane has some fun new outfits that are so cute they are sure to spread Christmas cheer! He has had some big days over the past couple of weeks. Not only did he meet Santa for the first time, but he also had sooo much fun with his new girlfriend Maddie. She gave him lots of kisses. :) Mom and Dad also enjoyed their visit with Joyce and Bryan! Our time together is so much different now that we have children, but just as rewarding.

Kane is starting to be very interested in his surroundings. He is looking around and soaking things in. He especially loves staring at the pretty lights on our Christmas Tree and his favorite book, "Words." It's a real page turner.

Kane's New Favorite Things

Kane is getting even bigger-he weighs 14 1/2 pounds now! He's also growing-already in 6 mos. clothes. His face is filling out and getting even cuter. He is also showing more of his personality. He loves smiling and laughing and being tickled! He also loves his monkey, sitting at his high chair with the big kids, and sucking his thumb!

Last Wednesday he started rolling over-and over-and over. He's a little roly-poly on his play mat. He also loves talking (in what language, we're not sure), looking around-and hates when he can't see what's going on.

The first three months with our new little guy were wonderful, but often tiring. Now we are really having a lot of fun getting to know Baby Kane.

Happy Halloween!

Kane had a fun-filled first Halloween. Mommy was off work so we had Mommy and Baby day of fun. This included napping and having lunch with Daddy. Halloween night we went to Aunt MJ's for a family party. Kane's costume was a hit! He was a dinosaur-or is it a dragon? We can't tell-either way, he was too cute!

Go Tigers!

Kane was very bummed about Mizzou's loss to Texas Saturday but he looked stylin in his future college's baby gear! Plus it is a lucky sleep outfit-he slept through the night for the second time in that Tiger gear.

Kane also got to meet his Uncle Mike for the first time on Saturday. Slowly but surely he's meeting all of his family members!

Kane is Huge

Well, our "average" sized son is now in the 97th percentile in weight. He now weighs 13 pounds and he's quickly becoming a chunk! He definitely eats enough, but he still always seems to be hungry-especially at night. Mom is starting back to work and Aunt Amanda has had fun with baby while she is gone. We are so lucky to have family watch our child-I can't imagine taking him to someone I barely know. It has made going back so much easier. Thanks Aunt Amanda! Here are some recent pictures of our growing boy!

Baby's first photo shoot

When Kane was 3 weeks old we had our wedding photographer come over and do a little photo shoot. Kane was awake the whole time, amazingly-he was still sleeping all the time at that age. The naked pictures were the best-within five minutes he managed to puke and pee all over his daddy. Mommy, on the other hand, remained spit up and pee free. Yes, she knows to pawn the naked baby off on daddy. :) We used one of the pictures she took for our birth announcement. To see all the pictures you can go to http://www.collages.net/.

Our little ham

Kane has taken quite a liking to the camera! He really knows how to ham it up. These pictures are from today-he's eight weeks old now. He even started talking to himself today while doing his favorite thing-staring at himself in the mirror on his swing!
