Clothes: You are wearing size 18 month clothes. The pants are too short so they get rolled at least one time and the shirts fit pretty well, although some of them look like a dress:)
Shoes: Still size 3. We have the 4's ready to go and you are getting close, but not quite yet. The 4's still slip right off your feet.
Diapers: Size 4 diapers
Sleep: You sleep from about 7:00 at night until 7:00 in the morning. You nap for approximately 2 hours each day and sometimes more. You are a better sleeper/napper.
Teeth: 12! You got one more this month on the bottom!
Traveling: We went to Blaine, MN for one night to visit Mom's cousin's family. Joe, Andrea, Owen, and Lydia Carter. We went to the Children's museum, played with all of their toys, and got to go to an indoor playground. You were a NUT and did not stop for a second going up and down the tube slide. It wore you OUT!
Talking: New words that you've been trying are Go, Dog, and Go after the book and Nana for banana. You also love the page where the bird tells the dogs to stop, and you try to say STOP, but it comes out like just yelling at the dogs:) I can't think of any crazy new words that you are using, but you are definitely understanding us better. You are pointing to things, following directions, and communicating in other ways even if you don't have a word for it. We know there are words you are saying to us sometimes, but we can't always make them out. You still say No, animal sounds, Mum, Dah, hi, and a handful more
Favorite Activity: reading books, CLIMBING, reading books, tackling your sister, investigating a drawer, playing with your farm and animals, and CLIMBING ON EVERYTHING!
Favorite Books: Any book will do. You don't seem to have just one favorite, although you've been enjoying "Go, Dog, Go" quite a bit lately and any of the Dr. Seuss books that are shorter and have rhyme and rhythm. Dr. Seuss's ABC, Hop on Pop, etc.
Favorite Foods: string cheese, yogurt, and mainly peanut butter. You love eating it right off of a spoon! You are still VERY picky. Today for lunch you had 5 bites of applesauce. That was it...no more:)
Foods Dislike: You will not touch sweet potatoes and the list is too long so I'm not even going to try and type it. Someday I'm sure this will change....hopefully or else you'll weigh only 20lbs. forever:)
Favorite Songs: You are not a huge song person. You will dance a bit if we have music on, but so far you aren't into music a ton.
Dislikes: Diaper changes and getting into your car seat. You fight both for awhile and then settle down and just except that it has to happen. You also get very upset when you see the iPad, but it has to be put away. Also, big sister taking away toys from you is not fun:(
Favorite Word: NOOO...to your sister when you are trying to pull your own weight:)
Things we are learning: You are understanding us so much better. When we ask you to go and lay down for a diaper change you sometimes will. You can throw away your own diapers, crawl up on chairs and throw away your own garbage. It's so much fun right now to watch you soak things up and see the wheels turning in your head:) Just this weekend you were pushing your baby around in the stroller and putting her in her highchair where you'd feed her. Right now you love taking care of babies, which is fun to see you kiss and hug them too! You are finally waving goodbye when us or someone else leaves and blowing kisses. We thought you could do this, but you rarely, if ever did this. Now you do and say "bye" at the same time:)
Kieran, we love you so much. You have so much love and your sense of humor is starting to come out! We love it when you run full speed at us to give us hugs and kisses. You have a contagious smile and kind bright eyes. We love you Kieran, just the way you are!
