The Kirklin Korner

Kyle has been to more games than I have this year. His total=2. Mine=1. Sean=0. Adam=all, of course. At least we got a pic of us wearing green before the big game (that we won for the 4th year in a row!) More pics to come when i get them from B.K.

Apple Orchard 2011

Kyle=age 3 1/2

Sean-6 months

We LOVE going to the apple orchard! Here we are at Blake's in Armada!

Stacey Visits!

Stacey and all her boys came up for her cousin's wedding. It was a fun visit, but there's never enough time to catch up. We enjoyed them while we could! We tried to get a pic before leaving Yates Cider Mill. Who would've guessed we would have all these boys!?!

Halloween 2011

Kyle wanted to be a ghost this year and Sean was a monkey for his first Halloween! All the Kirklin cousins came over to go trick or treating! We ran out of candy! Such a change from our Berkley house where we had only 5 trick or treaters! It was a nice night for trick or treating. No rain!

We moved!

Saying good-bye to lots of good memories in the old house

Boxes everywhere!

A view from upstairs to the t.v. area-Below-Surprise! Best box to open!

What a whirlwind it has been! We moved from our house on 983 Oxford in Berkley to Lake Orion! It was nice to not buy a fixer-upper, but instead to just move in! We are still not fully unpacked, but we are settled enough! We moved on September 16, 2011. We've met a few neighbors so far that are very nice. We are super excited that our neighborhood has a pool and park and that there are lots of kids and unbumpy sidewalks for Kyle to ride his bike on! We do miss walking up to Westborn Market when we need and the closeness of the Zoo, etc. but we are happy to have more space and light in our home! And did I mention ecstatic to have a garage and first floor laundry! Aahh, the little things!

Here's a few pics.

Sean-Four to Seven Months

Here is what Sean is up to!
Six months-time to sleep train-we don't rock you or hold you to sleep...but you still wake up at least once every night. You only sleep from about 10 until 6! We are hoping you start stretching it a bit, but we'll take what we can get!
Sean is a happy boy! He loves to giggle! Especially when you tickle his back or belly!
End of 6 months-Sean is breaking his first two bottom teeth and one on the top
4 to 5 months-Sean rolled over more from front to back and back to front. He still isn't rolling all over, but he knows he can do it if he needs to!
5-7 months-Sean loves jumping in his jumperoo and playing in his exersaucer!

6 months-Sean started eating solids-rice cereal, oatmeal, squash, and broccoli. He loves them all so far!
6 months-Sean can sit up on his own! He loves to play with all the light up toys and watch his big brother, too!

6 months-Sean is eating 5 times a day-about 5 ounces each
Sean is still swaddled to go to sleep EVERY time! He sure likes to be bundled up! Right now is the first time he fell asleep with one arm out of the swaddle! He started to notice that he can reach for things in his crib!
Sean is such a happy boy who loves to play, laugh, smile, and babble! We love our Sean-y!
