Kiri Jane Fellenbaum - Week 10

After getting home from our trip back from Oneonta, not much going on this week.

Quick trip to Target:

A visit to Rush's again-

I like Sandra's shoulder.

But THEN --

(cue dramatic music)

a Doctor's appointment on Thursday, where she got her 2-month vaccinations!!! Oh no!!!

Well, first, Kiri was a very happy and agreeable patient...look how cute she is!!

She weighed in at 12 pounds, 4 ounces, and 23 inches long! Big girl!!

Then, Sarah got her ready,

and she got her examination from our doctor, Dr. William Burkhart:

Kiri's holding his pinky finger in this one...
she thought she ought to check his pulse, too.

Healthy baby!

Then:

You're gonna stick me with WHAT, now?

Needless to say, we did NOT get pictures after she got TWO shots in her thighs. But, she's all caught up on her important vaccinations...no more for another 2 months.

Other than that, a quieter week in the Fellenbaby household.

Love,

Jim and Sarah

Kiri Jane Fellenbaum - Week 9

Hi everyone! I went on another trip!

Yes, this week Kiri, Memere and Sarah loaded up into the car and drove up to Oneonta, NY to pick up Jimmy from the New York Summer Music Festival. Here's Kiri's take on the trip:

It's HOW long to Oneonta?!?

You've GOT to be kidding me, right?!?!?

I'm not happy about this.

 Along the way, there were some nice wineries, and Sarah and Memere stopped in to explore.

Wow...pretty lights and colors...

Kiri's a lightweight still...(just kidding)

They finally got to Oneonta:

Boy...THAT was a long trip...

Hi daddy...not sure what to make of this
"dorm room" you're staying in...

Mommy and baby needed a nap...

We walked around and had fun, attended a couple of concerts Jimmy conducted; Kiri did NOT like the music :-) and had to be escorted out! lol

But, it was a fun but long trip, and we're just about back home.

Little nap at a rest stop...

So tired...

Hotels are fun sometimes...

Love,

Jim and Sarah

Kiri Jane Fellenbaum - Week 8

First, this was Jimmy's first full week away from home, as he's conducting up in Oneonta, NY at the New York Summer Music Festival. He had his first concert yesterday, conducting the Chamber Orchestra and the Wind Ensemble.

All the while, Sarah's been with Kiri in Knoxville, and sending Jimmy photos and updates about her week.

Hi Daddy...whudda YOU doin'?

Kiri's been practicing some conducting of her own, of course:

Scherzo helped her eat one day:

Some new milestones: she's smiling quite a bit now...some more obvious than others :-)

She also laughed Sunday the 3rd, for the first time, and she's outgrowing her diapers; we need to go up a size soon!!

Kiri got visit from Memere, as well as uncle Andrew and Aunt Kate, who are expecting a girl this November! Andrew and Kate got some first-hand experience helping take care of Kiri, and did a great job!

Kate Chumney, Andrew's wife...

Andrew Chumney, Sarah's brother...

And Memere!

They took a trip to the Chattanooga Aquarium, which Kiri LOVED, and did some walking around.

It's tiring being carried around places...

Kiri's also been doing a lot of thinking...you know...thinking about baby stuffs...

But after a week of keeping mommy busy, and getting fun visits from family, it can certainly make a baby girl tired:

Happy Fourth of July!

Love,

Jim and Sarah

Nighty-night, everyone...

Kiri Jane Fellenbaum - Week 7

We've been taking a LOT of pictures of Kiri this week...she is growing, changing, and is more and more beautiful each day.

Hello, Mr. Lion.

Hi Pirate. Wanna nap with me?

Pirate likes Kiri...

I'm a bunny.

I'm still a bunny.

Sigh...the life of a little princess...

This week, Kiri went to her second live concert! This time, she heard the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra String Camp concert on Friday!! It was a REALLY wonderful concert...great job by all of the players and conductors!!!

Getting ready to listen...

Here, Kiri is posing with the afternoon's featured guest
soloist, Andrew Skoog! He sounded great...

Yes, she thought Skoog sounded great!
AND, she was very happy to wear her newest
Bunny outfit, compliments of Barb Murphy!
Thanks Barb!!!

While Jimmy made some announcements at the
end of the concert, Glenda Cloutier was happy
to keep Kiri company :-)

Sleepy time on Saturday with her Godparents...

Isn't she adorable?

Love,

Jim and Sarah
