Liam @ Costco...

2009-03-13T15:33:00.000-07:00

...and looking more than a little ambivalent about it.

(Not so) still life: Liam and blanket

Pics from Baby K's first Xmas -- in Santa Fe, hosted by Uncle Sam and Aunt Kiki -- are finally on the interwebs. A couple of samples are below, and you can see the rest here.

Thanksgiving weekend (Part 3)

2008-11-30T06:51:00.001-08:00

One of the best things about Babies R Us (other than the fact that it's a great place to go through three diapers in less than an hour) is that there are all kinds of cool toys to play with. I hope Santa brings me one of these for Xmas!

Thanksgiving weekend (Part 2)

2008-11-30T06:47:00.000-08:00

After horsing around with Grandpa Shark for a while, we went to Babies R Us and got a new chair, complete with a dedicated device for me to chew on:

Immediately after the holiday shopping excursion, Colleen had us putting up the Xmas decorations -- which Liam loves. Check it out:

Post-Thanksgiving fun

2008-11-28T15:16:00.000-08:00

After a trip to Union Square to check out the holiday shopping crowd, we came home and had a long nap and a bottle. Then we hung out with Grandma Shark a little and made some funny faces at Mom:

Dinner at the Kirkland household

2008-11-26T20:52:00.000-08:00

The Sharkparents are in town for the holiday weekend, and Colleen made her famous lasagna for dinner tonight. Liam joined us at the table and had some pureed sweet potatoes. Here are the pics:

New videos!

2008-11-16T19:20:00.000-08:00

Gave the Flip Video a bit of a workout today -- check it out.

Here's Liam "walking," with an assist from Mom:

And here he is sitting up and standing, with some help from Dad:

And, finally, dining on pureed green beans just before bedtime:

Liam just took his first spin on his new toy, which he got from his cousins Jonathan and Connor Duggan. Check it out:

4 months old = first stab at solid foods

2008-10-16T22:48:00.000-07:00

Liam hit the four-month mark today, and to mark the occasion we had our first taste of solid food -- or, more accurately, rice cereal mixed with baby formula.

How did it go? Well, see for yourself:

New pics

2008-10-11T17:24:00.001-07:00

Busy afternoon! First we spent some time playing with our new toy, which we got in the mail today from Uncle Bob and Aunt Ann:

Then we tried out our new high chair, which we're going to start using once we hit four months next week and are ready for rice cereal:

Saturday morning!

Pumpkin patch!

2008-10-05T08:42:00.001-07:00

The fam went down to Half Moon Bay yesterday, to visit the pumpkin patch. Check out the pics:

Liam, naked on the Interwebs!

2008-09-29T08:38:00.000-07:00

Here's Liam getting a bath in NYC:

Liam, looking confused at the Central Park Zoo

2008-09-26T13:05:00.001-07:00

Tough day!

2008-09-24T15:40:00.001-07:00

Looks like someone had a tough day touring the Upper East Side. It's a hard knock life!

Liam in the City!

2008-09-23T20:30:00.000-07:00

Liam and his mom are in Manhattan for the week, visiting with Grandpa Don and Grandma Joan. Here he is in the NYC apartment, relaxing with Toby-Won the teacup poodle:

Olive oil + baby + quadruped?

2008-09-17T16:34:00.000-07:00

Somewhere along the way, we heard that you can use olive oil as a moisturizer for dry baby skin (which can sometimes be sensitive to store-bought products). So we gave it a try on some dry patches on Liam's head, and what do you know -- it works like a charm.

But something we didn't factor in: That it might make his head taste like an Italian restaurant. And that a head that tastes like pasta agilo e olio and a dog that obsessively licks things might be a dangerous combination.

Witness the confused look on our son's face, after 20 minutes or so of rapt attention from the quadruped:

Chunky Thighs!

2008-09-09T10:30:00.001-07:00

New leisure suit = new video!

Sunday morning at the Kirkland estate, with lots of smiles!

Who does Liam look most like?!?

2008-08-28T16:27:00.001-07:00

Two months old, and feelin' good!

2008-08-21T19:44:00.000-07:00

Birds flying high you know how I feel;
Sun in the sky you know how I feel;
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel...

6 weeks old!

2008-07-27T12:55:00.001-07:00

More visitors! More attention! Whoo hoo!

Grandpa Don!

2008-07-17T15:43:00.001-07:00

Grandpa Don just arrived! Here he is, just after meeting Liam:

Grandma Joan!

2008-07-16T12:40:00.000-07:00

Grandma Joan has arrived, in advance of the rest of the Sherman clan. Here she is, getting in a little QT with Liam:

Uncle Sam and Aunt Nicole!

2008-07-15T08:31:00.000-07:00

Liam's Uncle Sam and Aunt Nicole were here last weekend, and Aunt Nicole took a bunch of great shots with her digital SLR. Here's a quick sample:

New videos!

The Sharkparents are here!

2008-07-10T09:05:00.000-07:00

Grandpa Bill (aka Grandpa Shark) and Grandma Debbie are in town for a few days, to tickle the baby and take pics and do other grandparent stuff.

Here's a photo of the first encounter between Liam and Grandpa Shark:

Photos: Liam's first date!

2008-07-05T10:05:00.000-07:00

The Ponce de Leons came over yesterday to celebrate the 4th, and with them was their super cute little girl, Sofia. This was Liam's first exposure to a woman from his age group, and as far as first encounters go, it was pretty much par for the course -- Liam was a little gassy, and Sofia was a little sleepy.

This photo was taken after Liam pooped his pants in a very loud and public way. Guess we still have a thing or two to learn about proper date etiquette.

One week old!

2008-07-03T11:22:00.000-07:00

Liam just passed the one-week mark, and is still going strong. He's actually turned into an eating machine; you can see the gruesome aftermath of one of his feedings here:

First videos: Baby K

William Michael Kirkland was born at 7:47 am PT on Thursday, June 26! He clocked in at 22.5 inches and 8 pounds, 11 ounces. Mom and son both did really great, and are now resting comfortably at home.

For the first pics, taken at the hospital, click here.

Whoa! Amniotic fluid!

2008-06-25T22:47:00.000-07:00

It's all over the place! One minute we're watching Flight of the Conchords, and the next minute Colleen has turned into a fountain!

Baby K is on the way!

William Kirkland, 33 weeks 2 days!

2008-05-15T12:08:00.000-07:00

Probably goes without saying...

2008-04-29T22:22:00.000-07:00

...but as we work our way through week 32, I'm 10 kinds of stoked. Our little boy is almost here!

Swelling Tracker: Post One

2008-03-01T21:26:00.000-08:00

Colleen is really starting to puff up, so we're going to start documenting the process. Following are two photos; one from Feb. 7 and one from Feb. 28.

Feb. 28:

IT'S A BOY!

2008-02-02T08:45:00.000-08:00

YES! IN THE FACE! WHOO-HOO!

[HIGH-FIVE]

We have movement!

2008-01-17T09:19:00.000-08:00

BREAKING NEWS: Colleen felt Baby K move for the first time last night.

Could it have simply been gas, spurred by the chichi mac & cheese & ham she had for dinner at Nova last night? Sure.

But we are now well into Week 16, in which our sluggish offspring is expected to start poking at the walls of his current domicile. So Baby K may indeed be showing some signs of life.

And if it was in fact movement, an important question remains unanswered: Was it the kind of movement a boy Baby K would have made, or the kind of movement a girl Baby K would have made?

Son? Daughter?

2007-12-22T14:33:00.001-08:00

And, last but not least, here's the Sea Monkey:

Daddy?

2007-12-22T12:45:00.000-08:00

And here's the old man (and the quadruped) hard at work:

Mommy?
