Kyle's Sports Week

Kyle has been growing like a weed! He is not even three months old and he's wearing 3-6 month clothes, with 6 month sleepers required for the length. So, all the sports onesies we got in 3-6 month size that were intended for football season might not make it to football season! So, we had a Kyle sports week this week. Here goes:

Monday - Seattle Mariners

Tuesday - Washington Huskies

Wednesday - San Diego Padres
Thursday - Kansas City Chiefs
Friday - Seattle Seahawks

Saturday - Cal Bears

Kyle's belly laughing

Has it really been almost two months since I last posted on this blog? A lot has happened and most of the pictures have been put on Facebook. But, since I want this blog to be a chronological record for Kyle, I thought I better start adding more posts.

This post is about this afternoon. I picked up Kyle from Kylecare and the cousins were swimming. I took Kyle over to the fence so he could watch. Rilyn did a cannonball into the pool and the next thing I know Kyle is laughing! Oh sure, he's laughed a couple of times before when we happen to touch a tickle spot, but this was the first time he laughed about something he saw. I asked Rilyn to do it again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. He laughed even harder that time! Rilyn wanted to hear it so she asked Brittan to cannonball into the pool. Brittan doesn't like to cannonball so I asked her to simply jump in. Kyle liked it and laughed a little, but not like the cannonballs. So Rilyn cannonballed again into the pool and Kyle laughed so hard his belly shook! It was the CUTEST sound!!

Of course, by the time Grantie Sue came over, Kyle was over it. But, it was great while it lasted!

Nicknames

All babies get nicknames. Scott was "Scotty Otty." Will was "the bug." Jaime was, and still is, "the bean." What nickname(s) did you or your children have? Leave a comment. I would love to see them.

Kyle has gotten a few nicknames too. Scott calls him "buddy" or "Tiger." I call him "little man" or "sweet boy." Recently, we've added, "little porker," as he's only four weeks old and he's drinking 4-5 oz. every three hours. And then he's earned another nickname based on this face that we see all the time.

"Popeye"

First 4th of July!

Spent the afternoon at the 4th (or 5th) annual Dorfman 4th of July BBQ. Good times, good food, good friends. A great afternoon, as usual, and Kyle was an angel, slept most of the time. When he was awake, he was kicking and moving and looking around. Everyone was ga-ga over him!

In the evening, we all went in search of fireworks. 4S Ranch was having fireworks this year and we thought a good vantage point would be on top of Black Mountain. The video tells the rest of the story.

First Zoo Trip

I know we're crazy, but Uncle Tom was in town with his two kids, Jaime and Tomi, and we just HAD to go to the zoo. We lasted all of two hours and each kid had at least one meltdown...but we went.

Scott, Kyle, and a baby giraffe.


Jaime checkin' out the camel.


Whew! That was exhausting!

10 pounds!

A Welcome Home Baby nurse visited today and brought her scale. Kyle is 2 1/2 weeks old and 10 pounds! Go baby go! Kyle is still not thrilled about being naked...as you can see.

Okay, I know I'm seriously negligent on the blog since Kyle was born. Kyle is amazing!

Today, we drove up to Fallbrook for a photo-shoot with a photographer that specializes in infant photography. I snapped a couple of photos with my iPhone and posted them here. I can't wait for the proofs!
