Happy Seat

 

 

Tasty bath

 

Kieran takes control of the bath

 

I'm a sucker for the cross-eyed babies.

Early to bed...

Kieran has been crashing in the evening around 6:45. That's good. He's also been bright and perky at 6:15am. That's not so good. It would be tolerable if he wasn't still waking up 5-6 times per night. It's tough to be irritated when he's just so happy about it, but I make a special effort.

Non-playing character

 

He looks sleepy.

 

He's not, though.

This kind of cool never goes out of style

 

300+ posts

This makes 303 posts. That's a little over 50 a month, as our young fella hits 6 months in just a couple days. It seems like both a much shorter and a much longer amount of time has passed, though usually it's the latter. He's almost completely gotten over being sick, at least.

The grocery, it bores him

 

Hello, fans

 

He doesn't usually look like this

 

Exersaucer faces

 

 

 

His or hers?

 

I'm calling it his, since I can see his face and not hers.

Doctor Uma checks out our sick boy

 

The funny thing, or rather, one of the funny things, is that Uma's instruments are from an animal hospital toy set. That's what she thinks of her little brother.

Kieran bathes, Uma jumps

3/4 Family Picture

 

No longer dirty and smelly

 

Hmmm. That's strange.

 

Has that always been there?

This angle doesn't change the fact that you ditched me, Dad

 

Kieran finds these clothes to his liking

 

They have good taste.

Sad boy fancy clothes

 

Nasal aspirations

In case it ever comes up, you should know that Kieran does not like having saline squirted up his nose, nor getting the snot sucked out. It sure works, though. Last night was much better, which is oddly having the effect of making me more tired. They're still not 100%, but they're better. Kieran had this horrible hacking cough, but was in surprisingly good spirits through much of yesterday. Unlike previous illnesses, this time Uma did not become limp and lethargic; she even went to the playground yesterday.

Feet

 

Ages 3+, huh?

 

A big rattle.

Assisted sitting

 

Double sick

Awww.... they're doing things together. Like getting colds. Last night was... not fun. Uma woke up about once an hour, Kieran a little less. I think I slept from 12:00am to 12:45am and from 3:00am to 3:45am. They're in surprisingly good spirits this morning, but I expect we're all going to hit the wall pretty soon.

Flabbergasted

A flying turtle would make me stare, too

Help, she's gonna eat me!

 

Not if I eat her first!

Happy times with Great Grandma

 

 

Someday I will be free of all this

 

Ugh, knee hair!

 

Belly boy

 

 

 

There's a balloon outside the frame

The boy looooooved this balloon

 

Kieran exactly 1 minute ago

 

Usually I have a backlog of pictures. Not today.

It's like herding cats.

Don't take my toy!

 

Too cool to smile

1-2-3 o'clock, 4 o'clock rock

Things have gone off the rails here at Kieranjiv HQ. Some nights, he wakes up at 1am, 2am, 3am, 5am, 6am, and 7am. Daytime naps rarely last longer than 45 minutes, even when he clearly needs much more. It's a bit of a drag.

Assistisit

 

Kieran and feet

 

Guess what's happening here.

Happy feet

 

Nice carpet

 

Forehead thwack

 

Ooooh.... Shiny...

 

Yay, pants!

 

Ssnnnggrrnnnnkxxzzzz

 

Wait, if you're over there...

 

... who's holding me?

It's unstoppable! I can't escape!
