Kieran at 11 months

Here is what Kieran has been up to over the last month...

Being happy and adorable!

Emptying kitchen cabinets and any other drawer or shelf he can

Asking to go down to the basement or yelling at his brothers who are down there

Having fun with Papa at Cole's Chuck E. Cheese's birthday party

Playing with the birthday balloons

"Helping" with the laundry

Other fun things from the last month...eating lots of everything (watermelon has been the only reject so far), climbing up the stairs with supervision, pointing, laughing along with us, and cruising

Next time, I will be posting about a 1-year-old! How is that possible?!

It is hard to believe that Cole is five years old. Where did the time go? Cole continues to be very affectionate, imaginative, and stubborn. He loves all things superhero. He also is fond of Star Wars and Mario. This summer, he has enjoyed playing at home, attending Summer Fun, and swimming. We celebrated Cole's fifth birthday over three days.

First, he opened presents from Nana and Papa on the day before his birthday.

On the Saturday following Cole's birthday, we celebrated with family and friends at Chuck E. Cheese's. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into a newly remodeled Chuck E. Cheese's. Grammy made another awesome birthday cake for our special guy. This time, Batman was the choice. Grammy made Daddy and Uncle Jason cakes like this when they were younger too.
