My other car is a Jaguar

 

 

Ok, so he's not a car, but it rhymes, and I'm sure he'd like to be a car.

Big rock

 

 

 

All he wanted to do

 

 

Was drive the stroller around.

This is a picture of Kieran sitting on the car

It's probably bad parenting to photoshop out your own daughter.

"Daddy" minus the Ds

Kieran has been calling me "Daa eee" lately. It's super cute.

Bup! Bup!

Garbage truck!

 

 

Dental hygiene

 

 

 

Ok, so you're used the pretty hair by now. So what's with the legs? Well, one time, Kieran was pushing hard off the chair I was sitting in, and tipping his own chair back. To put a stop to it, I put my legs over the sides of his booster seat to hold it down. Ever since then, he's insisted I put my legs up there to brush his teeth. That's just how I'm supposed to do it now.

The remains of the dinner

 

We go through a lot of spoons.

Bear on board

 

 

 

It has to have its shoulders dislocated to stay on, otherwise there is yelling.

All work and no play

"work" is now Kieran's go to word, his verbal workhorse if you would. When a toy is turned off, he brings it to you to make it "work." When he wants you to do a trick with him, it's also "work." Turn on the light? "Work!" The socks he just took off that he wants back on? "Work it, Daddy!"

Ketchup intrigued him. He would taste some, make weird faces, then ask for more.

So hungry he's eating his own finger.

 

 

Saving this for when he's 15

 

Waking up is hard to do

 

 

18-month checkup

The appointment was only 5 weeks late, and this post is only 5 weeks later than that. The gist:

• 25 lbs, 9 oz (25th-50th)


• 34 in (75th-90th)


• 49 cm (75th)

He also got shots.

Trying the spoon from the nose trick

 

Can you say "valediction?"

Kieran has acquired a clear and distinct "bye," and he says it at exactly the right time. If you ask him to say it, though, he'll just wave. It's kind of funny; he'll say his very clear "bye," then go back to "wa ba wa wa" babbling.

A truck inside a truck?

 

Mind-blowing.

Riding in a car with a boy

 

 

Wakey wakey

 

Future underwear model

 

 

 

It's not blurry, it's, um, airbrushing. Which he doesn't need. Drat.

Handsome hunks

 

 

The latter is an example of what Kieran does when asked to smile.

Aaaaah! The goats ate his leg!

 

Mmmmm..... goat fence.

 

 

 

Too bad I didn't get a picture of the grid pattern impressed onto his face.
