!! WOW !!

Hi, So I have a lot of great updates today. Kevin had his 1 year check up last week and he is doing great. He now weighs 24lbs 10 oz (75%), he is 30 inches tall (50%), and his head is getting bigger he is now sitting at the 75%.

And we can certainly see how his head is getting bigger, it's because he is a genius, ok so I may be partial but let me tell you why I think he is a genius.

He is now saying his first two words "OK" and "ungry" meaning hungry. Our pediatrician was really suprised at his choice of words, I guess most kids mainly say Momma or Dada. When he is hungry he not only repeats "ungry" but I have told him to go to his highchair if he is hungry. So now he goes to his highchair and tries to climb in while chanting "UNGRY".

On Sunday, Steve was hanging our Christmas lights and I asked Kevin if he wanted to go help Daddy. He said "OK" I told him he needed to put on his socks. So he walked over to me, sat in my lap and popped a foot up in the air. So I could put a sock on it.

Yesterday I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk, he said "Ok" and went to his stroller and tried crawling in. In the afternoon I asked him if he wanted to play or nap. He said "Ap" so I took that as a nap. I put him down and he went immediately to sleep. Last night after his bath I told him it was time to go to bed. So he walked into his room and stood at the side of his crib.

And lastly, this morning, I asked him if he wanted a nap and he said "OK", walked into his room and again just stood at the side of his crib.

Is my child a genius or what?!

Seeing him growing each day is absolutely amazing. I had no clue how wonderful being a parent would be.

A few pictures

Here are a few of my favorite pictures taken with my camera. Steve's camera has a lot more (and a lot better ones). But here are a few for now.
Kevin's new smile for the camera.




The incredible hulk?

Kevin's birthday was awesome!

Many thanks to all the friends and family who came over and helped celebrate Thanksgiving, and Kevin's birthday. We all had a great time. Kevin really enjoyed his cake and presents and I think he really enjoyed playing with his cousins! In the next few days we will work on posting some photos and a little video of Kevin eating his birthday cake. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this day so memorable!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

Happy Birthday Kevin! Today is going to be great!

The Adventures of Kevin

Our couch has a storage compartment under the arm rest, it was only a matter of time until Kevin found out that he could lift it up and get in it. Here is his adventure getting in.

HMMM, what's in there?


What's this?
Woo Hoo! I found the forbidden toy, the remote.


This is fun!
I wonder if I can fit in here?


Maybe if I turn this way.


I have my own seat!

Kevin's first haircut

Today we went and got Kevin's hair cut. We went to Snip Its, in Round Rock, where they specialize in cutting kids hair. They gave him a certificate of bravery and gave us locks of his hair for his baby book. Kevin did a really good job. I was a bit nervous, but he was cool with everything. He wasn't quite sure about the sitting still part, but we managed to keep his hands under the "giant bib" so he couldn't interfere or get cut. He did still wiggle alot, and by the time we were done, he had wiggled himself backwards in the chair. It was pretty funny. Pamela who cut his hair was very quick and efficient. She also had fun with him too, which really helped. It is much shorter now and shouldn't get too much food in it anymore. But there is still a bit of a curl in the back which is cute.

Happy Halloween!

Our little squirt wants to wish you a Happy Halloween. He had a lot of fun and got to try his first M&M's.
