The blogging world has another member...

So after many many many requests to start a blog, I have succomb. Now having Kieren here, I want family and friends to be able to follow his growth (and our adventures).

Kieren is such a blessing to me, that I have to share his face with everyone that Josh and I love!

1 month checkup

Yesterday Kieren had his one month checkup, even though he is almost 6 weeks old, it went well since Dr. Rodriguez is both a counselor and a pediatrician. She's not really a counselor, but every time we go in she makes sure to listen and guide us on how to be well rounded parents. I really like her as a Dr. I've never had a doctor listen and care so much. She really stresses for me not to stress. So besides Kieren just getting a checkup, I got a session (since Josh wasn't there).
And at this checkup Kieren made sure to show off how he got so big. He weighs almost 11 lbs and is almost 23 inches long (i dont remeber the exact numbers). He was fussing and crying more than usaul because he was hungry! The funny thing is, I fed him before the appt, waiting for the appt, and during the appt. But no. That was not enough! He's a show off already.
Also, the doctor probably shouldn't have told me this to get my hopes up but...she said that from his measurements, he's going to be taller than both Josh & I, um....WAHOOO! That would be amazing. The world of being a shorter person is not one that is fun by any means. I don't want him to come home crying because he's short...the kids will find plenty of other ways to be mean. I dont want being short to be one of them. But...of course if he is, i'll love him more than life itself. Lets just keep our fingers crossed!

Here are some 1 month pics!
we were going to go to the beach, but didnt. This was his outfit.

Tio Kikis & Kieren

So this last weekend Josh and I packed Kieren in the car and made the 2 hour drive to my moms for a combined birthday party to celebrate Joshs bday, my brother, my cousin and a good family friends! (We went just for the day now that we have the bebe' to worry about)

While we were chilling at my moms in the blistering heat, Tio Kikis got some one on one time while Josh slept and I got some me time. He is so excited to be an uncle and I'm so glad we are here in Cali, somewhat close, so that he and my mom get to spend time with Kieren.
Plus today is his birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIKS!! WE LOVE YOU!

I didnt get any pictures of the party because Kieren wasn't feeling well being hot and hungry. So when I had some free time I was stuffing my face. (maybe its time Josh becomes the photographer of the family). We'll work on getting the "moments" caught on film.
