What's been going on...

Highlights and events since our last post almost 2 months ago...

1. Kirby's 32nd birthday (12/19). We had an ice storm that day so we didn't really end up doing much to celebrate.

2. Christmas. We had a lot of fun on Clae's 1st Christmas. He got very spoiled by everyone. He was somewhat interested in opening presents, but like most kids he was as interested in the boxes and the paper as he was in the gifts.

3. Clae got 4 teeth. In two weeks time he got his first 4 teeth. Needless to say this was not a fun time for baby or mom and dad. We just got him sleeping through the night again after all of that.

4. Clae got his first haircut. It was a hard decision to make but it turned out to be a good one in the long run. He looks much better. Of course I kept all of his little baby hair.

5. New Year's. We went to Kirby's cousin's (Matt & Staci) as we do every year. Clae had a lot of fun and went to bed easily at 9:00. I was just getting into bed at midnight and he decided to wake up and be up until almost 3:oo am. I was dragging the next day.

6. Ultrasound of the new baby. We did not find out the sex, but the baby was doing well, no problems. It's my intention to start posting belly pictures for this pregnancy. We'll see if I can get it together and get them posted.

7. Booked a trip to Hawaii! This trip came up all of a sudden through Kirby's cousin. I never thought I would go to Hawaii, but I guess we're going. We have to leave our baby behind with grandparents, so we are having mixed feeling but it will be an awesome experience and a much needed break.

8. Planning Clae's 1st Birthday/Superbowl party. We are having the party Feb 1st, 2 days before his actual birthday. Since he was born last year during the Superbowl we thought it would be appropriate to have his party on Superbowl Sunday with a "little quarterback" theme.

I think that covers all of the "major" events in our lives in the last couple of months. I'll try to be better about posting new pictures more often.

1st Haircut

Clae was beginning to get a bit of a mullet so we decided to go ahead and give him his first haircut. Kirby did it at home, I was a little nervous but it turned out really well.

Clae's 1st Christmas

This isn't the most flattering picture of Clae, but it shows his big pile of gifts. He was very spoiled by everyone this Christmas. I hope he enjoyed it because next year he won't have all the attention to himself!

Rough Day

As you can tell Clae is looking a little rough in this picture. It was taken right before Christmas when he was in the process of getting his 1st tooth, along with his 2nd, 3rd, & 4th! We had some LONG days and nights for a while!
