Wakeup call

 

 

 

 

 

I introduce the bear in the morning because it makes him happy instead of grumpy, and he's less likely to want to nurse if he gets distracted like that.

Cribbage

 

 

 

The boy loves his swinging

 

 

Loner

 

 

New chairs to climb on

 

 

That's what looking at houses mean to Kieran.

Spelunkerator

 

 

Stair master

 

 

 

Artsy

 

 

On the big kid swings

 

 

 

Back to the toddler swing

 

 

Peanut butter face

 

 

 

After a hard day's morning

 

Put them in, dump them out

 

 

Wanderer

 

 

Advanced swinging

 

 

 

 

How does he know that?

Kieran saw me taking something out of the microwave and said "ha" (hot). How did he know?

Aaaah! Not a diaper!

 

Sometimes we clean him

 

 

 

Whatever I was doing must have been pretty awesome.

Time to wake up!

 

 

Trying to find his belly button

 

 

Uvula

 

1... 2... 3... Winner!

 

Bear wrestling.

I ate what?

 

 

Must drink water!

Flower children

 

 

 

How he loved his flower...

Why you always need backup clothes

 

Can't get clean hands with dirty water

 

Mulch!

 

Levitation

 

 

The cool walk away

 

That's how he'll do it in 20 years when he's a major Hollywood star. Except there will be explosions behind him.

Hang in there...

 

That kitten's got nothing on my boy.

Waking up happy

 

 

Ramping up

 

 

Watch your head...

Lazy boy workout

 

 

He really does like it

 

 

Not that you can tell from his face.

Am I doing it right?

 

Slider

 

 

 

Strider

 

Wanting out

 

Little scamp

 

I opened up my hamper, and all this tumbled out.

Grown-ups are weird

 

Slide?

 

He decided not to.

Nonchalant

 

 

He really likes the swing, but you can't tell while he's in it. Try to take him out before he's ready, though, and you'll hear all about it.

I told him to dig a hole

 

And then fill it back in, over and over, as punishment for being better looking than me.

Boy meets cupcake

 

 

 

Grass fear

 

I guess wariness for lawns runs in the family.

 

Maybe not...

Grass apprehension

 

I guess a wariness for grass runs in the family.

I refused to help

 

 

So he's getting better at getting himself down.

Are you coming, Daddy?

 

I found an Uma!

 

15-month checkup

Ok, so 16 ½ month checkup; nobody's perfect. The numbers: 24 lbs (25th-50th percentile), 31" (25th percentile), and 48.cm head (75th-95th percentile). I think he got some shots, too, which is rather vague for something that will have happened later today that I'm totally not posting about a month later because I forgot to do it the first time.

New haircut

 

Admiring Uma's hairdo

 

A preppie look

 

 

Backyard water park

 

 

 

Refueling

 

High velocity

 

Tempted but daunted

 

Enjoying the crossing

 

Waiting for the troll to collect his toll

 

Plugging the avalanche

 

Imported hand-made sandals

 

The most cooperation I can expect

 

Steps

 

 

 

The visionary

 

Ascent

 

Sleepy smiley

 

Hat happy

 

He's been watching the dogs very closely

 

 

 

Too closely.

I want YOU...

 

... to give me more cheese.
