This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Hello!

As you all know, we have been deep in newborn baby land, so our apologies for not being on time with this post. I had all of the best intentions to FINALLY post in our actual week since I am on maternity leave. But I am only off by a few days this time!

Theo is doing great. He just started smiling (intentionally) a few days ago, which is so fun. He especially likes to grin at Andrew when he comes home from work.

He is growing quite fast and is over 11lbs already! (He was born at 7lb 7oz). We think he is in the midst of a growth spurt, as he's been eating and sleeping more for the past day or two.

We have had lots of guests come in town, which has been really fun. Since Hannah was here in June, we have had one of my bridesmaids, Kate, come visit from France, my grandparents from North Carolina, my brother and his wife from Cincinnati, and today our friend Mike gets here from Los Angeles. Theo is definitely more popular than we ever were on our own! 😊

We are looking forward to seeing Vicki and Tim when they stop by on their way home from Minnesota, and Erik as he traverses through on an Ultimate trip. We are also planning a few evenings to go see the Chicago Symphony play at Ravinia, an outdoor concert venue. Hopefully Theo will be agreeable to that, too!

I go back to work on August 10th, but we are soaking in the baby time before then! When I go back, Theo will spread out his week with two days at home with Andrew, two at daycare, and one with my mom.

Here are some photos from the past few weeks. Feel free to ask Tim or Vicki to share, we send them dozens!
June 17th (3.5 weeks old)
June 18 - Father's Day

June 23 (4.5 weeks old) - We think this was his first real-ish smile. But now he is definitely there!
Mary & Kurtis - thanks for the clothes! You may recognize this one :)

July 4 (6 weeks old) - We got him noise cancelling headphones for the parade and fireworks. They worked! He slept through both of them. You will also notice that he has lost almost all of the hair he was born with.

July 4 (6 weeks old) - Had to decorate the carrier!



XOX,
Katie, Andrew, and Theo
