Cousins finally meet

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season, but I bet you're not having as much fun as we are! Ryan and Samantha are in town so we finally get to see McKenzie in person. She is so cute!

Here are some pictures of the cousins' first meeting.

Getting in the spirit

Kieran continues to get bigger and stronger everyday. He is now getting pretty good at staying in a seated position for awhile before he topples over.

Here are a couple photos from Jerimi and Brian's holiday party.

Kieran and Abigail

He's getting lots of use out of his Santa hat.

Welcome Sydney!

Congratulations to Sarah and Brandon on their beautiful little girl, Sydney Layne Arcement!

We had a chance to go see her this morning.  The new mom and dad are doing great. 

We can't even remember Kieran being this small. Oh wait, he never was this small.

Where'd he go?

Ok, we just had to share a couple photos of Kieran in his camo, courtesy of his Grandpa.

A few thanks

Kieran is borrowing a jumper from Krista's friend Emily and he took to it right away. Thanks, Emily! 

Now maybe he can entertain himself for a little while and we'll get something done around the house.

He also got a snazzy new jacket from my next door neighbor from back in Florida. Thanks Mrs. McCall, he looks pretty sharp while he helps me rake leaves.

Bonus shot of Kieran and Grandma. Thanks again for watching him during the day, he loves going over there.

Lots more pictures

I just put up another web gallery of the "best of months 3 & 4". You can find this link over on the right side of the page. Here's a direct link: Months 3 & 4

4 Months

Kieran had his four month doctor's appointment last Friday.  Everyone has been asking us, how much does he weigh, what are his percentages......So, now we have his stats.  He is now 17 and 1/2 lbs and 26 and 1/2 inches long.  That makes him 91% in weight and 95% in height.  And his head is in the 90% too, so he's proportional.  I can't believe there are still 5-10% of boys bigger than he is!  We'll try harder for the next check-up! :)

OUTLAW!

Kieran and I (Scott) had some playtime out in the yard today so I got a few pictures of him in his new shirt.

Lots to post

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  The way we do it here is sit outside with a few friends with a beer in hand and hand out candy to the kiddos.  I always make little treat bags with some candy, a sticker or two, and usually a toy.  I would say we got a good amount of trick-or-treaters.  They were all very cute.  Kieran only sported his monkey outfit for about 20 minutes.  It was just to hot to be in that furry suit.

Visitors!

Gandma and Grandpa Pittman came for a short visit.  Kieran has grown a lot since Grandma had seen him last.  

Kevin too came to visit his little nephew.  

Go Horns!

Kieran got to watch the horns beat up on the Baylor Bears this last weekend with his friend Ellie.  Ellie is two and a half months older then Kieran, and, yes, they are the same size.  He's a big boy!

Happy Anniversary to us!

Scott and I celebrated out 6th anniversary this past weekend.  And since Kieran was a big part of our 6th year, he got to go out to dinner with us.  What a good looking family!

I'm a growing boy!

OK, I've already mentioned that we have a very large baby boy, but Kieran is developing fast in many other ways too.  His new tricks are turning over from  his back to his front, saying all the vowel sounds (we're working on the consonants), and he is finally starting to play with his toys.  He is such a blessing in our lives and we have been enjoying every moment with him.  Here are a couple more cute picks of our favorite little man.  

Trick or Treat

We're getting excited for Halloween. We usually get lots of trick or treaters in our neighborhood and we're supposed to have great weather so we'll be hanging out in front of the house tomorrow night. 

Here's Kieran trying on his monkey costume. I'm sure we'll get some more pictures tomorrow.

This year we decided to make some decorations for the yard. We went with the "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" theme. We just painted some extra plywood we had lying around. It made for a fun project. 

"I got a rock"

"Waiting for the Great Pumpkin"

Here they are in action:

15 Weeks

Kieran is 15 weeks now.  He is such a joy in our lives.  We are loving every minute with our little man.   He's been "talking" up a storm and giving us lots of great smiles.  His smiles make mom's heart melt every time.

We've had to make some adjustments in our lives since I went back to work three weeks ago.  However, Scott's mom has been watching Kieran during the day, which puts our minds at ease and has made the transition much easier.  We know he enjoys going to grandma's house because when he sees her he gives her a great big smile.  We are extremely grateful to Trish!

Here are some photos from the last week!  Enjoy!

Just a couple photos

3 Months Old!

Kieran is 3 months old today, sounds like a good excuse to share some pictures from the weekend.

Getting ready to head over to Shama and Hope's to watch the big Texas-OU game:

A couple shots in his little slugger outfit:

And a couple from today:

Congratulations Michelle and Peter!

Our good friends Michelle and Peter Kong from Virginia welcome today their new baby girl, Sabine James.  She is 7 lbs 10 oz and 19.75 inches long.  Congratulations guys!  The Butlers send much love your way!  Kieran can't wait to meet his new friend!

Happy Birthday Amber!

Yesterday was Amber's 13th birthday.  That makes her 91 in dog years!  So, as custom in this household, she and Kasey got to enjoy a small serving of ice cream.  Here is a pick of the old lady eating her treat.

And of course some Kieran pics:
