Month 11

Well here we are in Month 11 already! As you can see we've got a big boy on our hands. He is standing up on his own (with out holding on to anything) for a few seconds now and we think he will be taking his first steps any day. He is cutting his top two teeth and has pretty much had it with baby food. He enjoys meatballs, pasta and LOVES all fruit! He still loves to dance and sing and his favorite toys are anything that makes music and his walker.


Mommy was being silly when I got out of the bath, she gave me a side slick!

My future is so bright, I gotta wear shades!

Month 9

KJ had a very busy month of July! He used his big boy passport and went to the Dominican Republic, and then turned right around and visited Grandmommy, PapaLo and the whole Martin Clan in California. Then he left California and went to visit Mimi, P.Paw, Aunt Sabrina, Uncle Jordan, Uncle Jonah and lots of other Mathews in Las Vegas! He is crawling at warp speed and pulling up to stand and cruising on EVERYTHING! KJ eats at least 3 meals a day, and is really into fruit right now. His favorites are peaches and pears.

Month 8

KJ is officially a big boy! He is crawling everywhere, much to Daddy's delight and Mommy's chagrin (I feel like he's growing too fast)! He LOVES to eat! He has moved on to carrots, peas, apricots, peaches, apples, oatmeal, yogurt and tomorrow we are going to try CHICKEN!!! KJ has started pulling up and falling down so we are very busy trying to childproof our home :|. Who knew it would be so difficult!




At cousin Carter and Aunt Erynn's house!


Daddy and KJ spent the beginning of their first Father's Day in the airport! Here they are at Chili's in St. Louis!

Month 7

Wow! Our little boy is getting bigger every second! He is well into eating solid food and enjoys avocado, sweet potatoes, pears, green beans, and butternut squash. We think he may have had an allergic reaction to bananas :(! We'll try them again later.  He is up on all fours and is almost crawling, he bounces and then falls on his tummy! He rolls everywhere now, you leave him in one spot and turn around and he's rolled himself across the room!


We walked The Race for the Cure 5K on May 9th,
It was nice to see Grandmommy and GG on our first Mother's Day!

Month 6

We can't believe it's been half a year! KJ really is a big boy now, he is rolling over, sitting up, and trying his best to get on all fours. We can tell he'll be crawling soon!

First time in a high chair!


KJ tried something other than breastmilk for the first time today, and being true to his mothers California roots it was avocado!

Thanks to Aunt Tsigie's Aunt Gail for the silver spoon!

Month 5

KJ is getting to be such a big boy! This month he visited our church daycare for the first time and stayed without Mommy and Daddy for the entire 11am service! I think it was harder for us than for him. He is also sleeping through the night now, in his own crib! HIP HIP! 

5 months old!

We had to make 2 signs, he ate the first one!


A sunny day in Atlanta!


About to take a bath!
