Kian's First Christmas

Kian loves what "Santa" brought him for his first Christmas!


The day before, Kian smiles in anticipation of what's in his brand new Christmas stocking.


Dressed in his "Baby's First Christmas" candy cane outfit from his nana, Kian poses with his parents at Uncle Devin's and Aunt Teresa's house for the traditional Christmas Eve lobster feast.


Three-year-old cousin, Finnegan, props up Kian for a few photos. Lochlann is off to the side enjoying his new fire truck sticker book.

Kian's bib reads, "It's the night before Christmas and guess who's awake?" And yet....

...there comes a time when you just have to give in. We wonder what he's dreaming of this Christmas. Certainly not a white Christmas; that's a reality this year in Seattle!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family who still keep up with our blog! :)
Happy New Year!

Kian's First Snow Day

Yesterday, we bundled up Kian in a fleecy snowsuit and introduced him to below-freezing temperatures. As you can see in this family photo, he loves it.


Eventually, he warmed up to the situation... Somewhere in that navy blue marshmallow man suit is our son. In the background, the Airboard Classic -- our awesome inflatable sled -- lies patiently awaiting the rush of jetting down the gnarly hills of West Seattle.


Lilly O'Claire offers to play Santa for Kian before their parents went on their sledding adventure. Kian says: "All I want is... to get out of this bulky snow suit!"


One of my favorite pictures of 2008. A bit too late for the photo Christmas card unfortunately!

Four Months Old!

Kian turns 4 months old today! At his well-baby visit, we found out that he weighs 16 lb., 2.5 oz., is 25.5 inches tall -- both in the 75th % -- and is in the 50% for head circumference. He is very healthy and gives us plenty of smiles and babbles. More updates to come.... Mama is back to work (today is the 3rd day back) and we usually head out the door at 7:15 to go to grandma's house.

Thanks for reading, and remember to compare this photo to the previous three taken with this teddy bear on the 10th of the month!
