Baby K: Father's Day

Brian got to celebrate his first Father's day as a Daddy of 2. We had a really nice weekend, visiting with my folks on Saturday and with Brian's family on Sunday. On Sunday we had breakfast at one of our favorite restaurants Granville's. Then we took a trip down to the OC for a dip in Grammy and Grandpa's pool. Grandpa brought out the Kayak and Ais had fun riding it in the pool. She called it the Jungle Boat.

Today we took a hike through Fern Dell. This really cool place in Griffith Park with a stream and lots of ferns, plus a really neat little cafe at the end of the trail. We heard about it this weekend from Brian's folks. It was really fun to be out and about with our little family. Xander was fussing in the stroller so I put him in the wrap where he fell asleep instantly (as he usually does) and off we went. It was really fun.

As for the kids. They are doing great. Aisling is still a great big sister although the novelty of baby Alex is wearing off as she isn't so eager to help with diaper changes and getting things anymore. She still is a great big sister and is always checking on him to make sure he is doing good. She is singing all the time now too and is currently into The Tiki Room song from Disneyland. She is a regular chatter box these days and is always cracking us up.

Xander is doing great too. He is getting really good at holding up his head. He also likes to try to stand and is really strong when he pushes with his legs. He loves sitting up and just chilling. He kind of has a love/hate relationship with his bippy at the moment. Sometimes he devours it, other times it just ticks him off. I think he really wants to suck his thumb, but just can't control his hands enough to get it in there. We have seen a few sweet smiles too. They are pretty dang cute with his big dimples. He is eating nearly every 3 hours around the clock. I am still loving having a new baby too. I am really tired and have a bit of a cold, but he is just so sweet. I love my baby boy and my little Miss.
