Happy 1/2 Birthday Daniel!

Daniel celebrated his 6 month birthday with family last weekend. We had lots of fun and he was full of smiles. He managed to get a little bit of icing in his mouth before mommy intervened.

Daniel's First Beach Trip

We decided to take Daniel to the beach for the very first time and our first family vacation the last week of July. We went to Myrtle Beach, SC with our very dear friends and neighbors, the Priest family.

We had such a great time. Daniel was definitely the classic beach baby with his cool shades and hat. He wasn't a big fan of the ocean but he did great on the beach all day. He loves the pool so every afternoon after lunch we spent some time in the pool splashing around. Here are a few pics from the trip.

Fun Lunch Date with the girls and Nolan!

Last weekend Daniel and I were able to visit with some of my dear old friends/Kappa Delta sorority sisters from college and their kids over lunch in Charlotte. We had such a great time. It was so nice to see everyone and Daniel loved everyone.

I'm a Baby Einstein!

Daniel loves his Baby Einstein jumper. He plays in it several times a day.

Happy Fourth of July!

This weekend was an exciting one for the Kirkman Trio. We had our first vacation as a family. We decided to head to the Lake for the weekend. Daniel loved the water and had a blast riding in his "motor boat" as Dad calls it. Here are a few pics and a video from the weekend. Our little water baby is such a ham for the camera.

He is growing up so fast!

It has been a while since I have posted an update on Daniel. He is doing great and growing so fast. He is almost 5 months old and is changing everyday.
















He eats oatmeal cereal twice a day.

He sits up in his Bumbo and plays with all of his toys.

He laughs out loud at everything (he is such a happy baby). He has started teething so we are dealing with that, but all in all, he is doing great. It is so amazing to us how he has already developed his own little personality.

Big Day for Baby Daniel

Yesterday was a big day for Daniel. We started out at 9 am with pictures at a portrait studio to celebrate being 2 months old. This is something that my mom and Godmother are doing every month for Daniel. We want to make sure that each month we get a picture of Daniel so that we can see how he changes.

Then after pictures at the portrait studio we went to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. Daniel took his 1st Easter Bunny with him and he told the Easter Bunny that he wanted lots of presents. :)

After visiting the Easter bunny, it was off to the dreaded doctor's visit where Daniel got his first set of vaccinations. He did great! He is now 10 lbs. 8.5 oz.(25 percentile) and 23 3/4 inches long (75 percentile). We are really excited how how he is growing and changing. He is really becoming a little man. He smiles all the time, loves to play in his bouncer, and when it's tummy time he it trying so hard to move his legs and push him self up. He is no longer interested in being held like a baby. :) Daniel wants to sit up and look at the world around him.
