So a few months ago Johnathan discovered that Van Morrison was coming in town at the Hollywood Bowl and knowing that I was a big fan surprised me and got us tickets. Well our usual baby sitter couldn't baby sit and we couldn't find anyone else and with the prices of baby sitters these days we thought we would fly my mom down rather and she could baby sit. She was pleasantly surprised and had a fun weekend with Kieran. Van Morrison was fun of course unfortunately Johnathan was really sick but he went for me anyways. I was excited about going to the Hollywood Bowl since we had never been. He put on a descent show but you know they are never the same when they get old. Johnathan thinks he looks like Bobby Flay from the food network, It was nice having my mom here to give us a break from Kieran, we even got to work out together again. Thanks mom.
Kieran turned 5 months Thursday and we had a doctor appointment for yet another shot and weigh in. He surprisingly did really well with his shots. Kieran now weighs 17.1 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long. He also got to start on solids which is kind of exciting. Now feeding is going to be more time consuming but fun. He loved it, right after I put the spoon in his mouth he would open up for more and try to grab the spoon and the bowl, he finished it all.
Saturday we had our friends the Stickland's and the Shirley's over. All of us are new parents with little boys, it if fun seeing us and their lives change after having an addition in the family. This is Kieran with Donavan who is two weeks older than Kieran. We had a good time it was fun seeing all the little guys together, Caleb, Donavan, and Kieran. (Notice Kieran's cleavage in the one picture)
Sunday we went to Palm Springs to see Johnathan's friend Alan's tennis tournament. Kieran slept the whole way there and back, I can't quite figure out why he will take a 2 1/2 hour nap in the car but at home it is for only 30 mins. Oh well right? It was nice to go, we had never been to Palm Springs. We watched the matched then headed to the casino for some lunch will Alan. After a long day in the hot sun and car Kieran stripped naked for some bare bum time.
Last Sunday we went to dinner at the Pecks (Joelynn's parents) for of their famous BBQ's. We had a good time as usually, Kieran and Caleb got to play together and kept us entertained. We took the kids on a walk in the monster wagon, Caleb took a snooze and Kieran wasn't sure what was going on.
Kieran can't keep his feet out of his mouth every time I change his diaper his feet go straight to the mouth, its so funny, and if his socks are off he will suck in his toes. He also loves his new toy, he could spent hours in that thing. I love watching him play in it he chews on one thing then spins over and hits the globe, its so cute.
Well Halloween was fun this year, especially since we get to play dress up with little Kieran. We went to a Halloween party the week before at our friends house and played games, we won best costume. Kieran was to little to be Bam Bam and we couldn't resist him being a little sharky it was just so adorable. He was such a good boy posing for all those pictures in the hot sun in his costume. On Halloween Kieran went trick or treating to gramdma Rosie's house from down the street then he spit up all over his costume while we were there and had to be a skeleton for the rest of the night. We had some friends over and played croquet and watched a movie. There wasn't as many trick or treaters out as we thought, but we had a good night.
