Baby K: 4th of July / 6 weeks old

Xander is smiling now. And oh what a cutie with his big dimples. He has also started to coo and can be quite the little flirt when he bats his eyes and flashes a huge gummy grin. We are all doing well and getting used to being a family of 4. Ais still loves her baby brother and is doing great being a big sister.

We have had a fun past week. We took Aisling to the Wall-e lot event at the lot. She loves Wall-e and had a great time seeing all the Wall-e related stuff. Brian took her to see the movie last weekend. She loved the movie and had a great time sharing popcorn with her Daddy.

Uncle Mike (or muncle Mike, as Ais calls him) also came to visit us last week. He was a big help and Aisling had a great time with her Uncle. They played lots and lots. Aisling came down with a cold so she slowed down a wee bit, but they had a good time none the less. Xander likes his Uncle too and can't wait to join in all the fun and games.

I also had my 6 week checkup with Susan my midwife. Ais was sick so she stayed home with Uncle Mike while Brian, Xander and I made the trek to UCLA one last time. It was great to see Susan and have her meet Xander officially. She was so great and has been such a big part of two monumental moments in my life that I have gotten pretty attached to her. I will really miss her, but I won't miss being pregnant and having to shlep myself down to UCLA every week.

And last but not least, we celebrated 4th of July down at Brian's folks house. Aisling had a great time with these big bubble wands that Grammy got her. We had a yummy BBQ and lots of fun. Uncle Jack and Aunt Laurie also came over to meet Xander. We didn't get to see any fireworks as the kids were both asleep at home by the time the shows started. Heck, I was half asleep myself.

So all and all we are good and busy and loving our 2 kids.
