K's New Favorite Food

We discovered recently that Kieran loves onions!! Raw, plain onions. I was so shocked. Josh was chopping up an onion and Kieran asked for some so he gave him a piece. Then K asked for "mooore". He calls them "Onie" ...sounds like Un-ee. Now he wants them all the time! "Mooore onie"...haha. It's so cute!

Crayon's Are Not Food

K's newest favorite thing is coloring! He loves it and I love coloring with him. He's gotten better with not eating crayon's but still has his moments. I think he mainly does it just to get a rise out of me. Goofy kid!

One Of Those Days

So today has just been a bad day. Kieran has been sick an has pink eye(a severe case of it). I feel so bad for him. He hasn't been sleeping well, he's been super clingy...so much so that I can barely eat and he cries and tries to pull up on me while I'm trying to pee! It's been like this for days and today was the worst by far. The breaking point was when I needed to change his poopy diaper. He hates getting his diaper changed lately. So I tried everything...and even bribed him with a sucker. Well, I eventually(after I tried everything)had to literally hold him down with one arm and do my best to change him while he screamed :(. We both ended up in tears. He's sleeping right now and I'm trying to relax. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon. I hate when my kids are sick. I wish I could just make it all away...I'd gladly trade and take the sickness if I could. Poor baby.

Crazy Weather

It was in the 60's yesterday! Unheard of in January in Michigan. The boys and I played outside a lot and just enjoyed it. I took some pictures and thought this one was just so cute!!!

Christmas Is Coming

So we finally have our tree up. We still have some last minute shopping to do and I still have nothing to wear! Why does it have to be so stressful? I mean it's fun and I LOVE it...it is my favorite holiday after all but jeez.

I am having my root canal finished on sat morning...fun times! Not looking forward to that but so glad that I won't be in pain anymore...yippee!!!

We had a play date today! It was great. My friend came over with her almost 2 year old little girl (who has a crush on Nevin...too cute!) and the 9 month old baby boy that she babysits for. It was great having some adult interaction.

This week Kieran has started the whole not sharing thing. Oh boy...I do not like this phase. Every time on of the other little ones has one of his toys he flipped out. Seriously...he just started doing this, out of the blue, yesterday! He never use to care before. Speaking of Kieran...he's awake! Gotta go. More later. :D

1st Sand

Here is a video of Kieran's 1st time ever playing in the sand. He loved it! He was so focused and flipped out when we finally had to leave! LOL.

Kieran's Growing Up So Fast!

I just wanted to update on all of the new things Kieran does!
Well, he's walking up a storm and even running! He's becoming so independent!
He's also talking up a storm. Here are all the words he can say(I'm sure I'll forget some though):
Mama
Daddy(dacume)
Mama
Willy(our cat)
Chocho(our other cat)
Wah wah(water)
Hat
Bath
Num num(for food and nursing)
Paper
Ribbon
No no(lol)
Ruff ruff(for dog)
Meh(for meow)
Walk
Shoe
Eyes
Mouth
Baby
Wee wee(that's what he calls feet from me doing "this little piggy" with his toes)
Nigh night(night night)
Hi
Bye
Ring(for the phone ringing)
Juice
Pee Pee
Wee(for swing)
Open
Boo boo
Hair
Well, those are ones I can remember and after typing them out I'm shocked by just ow many he knows! He also has his own made up for things. Like for vacuum, car etc.

He loves playing with Nevin and they have so much fun together! He loves food and playing outside. He tells us that he wants to go outside by pointing to the door and saying "walk"(as in walking in the yard or going for a walk) and by saying "wee" for the swing in our backyard. I can't get over how fast he learns!

He loves the cats to death and walks after them all day. He's gotten much better with petting them and hardly ever pulls their hair anymore. :) Though he still remembers getting scratched by out cat Snowflake MONTHS ago!! He rubs is arm and says's "ow, boo boo" LOL.

He has 5 teeth now and is working on his 6th!

And I can't leave without mentioning my sweet boy, Nevin. He has got to be the best big brother ever! He plays so well with Kieran and really helps out. He may complain at times but hey, what can you expect? LOL.

He is acting more and more the a teenager everyday! He's doing well, with homeschooling, has lots of friends and plays outside a lot...riding his bike and skate board.

His hair is getting way too long now and really needs a cut or at least a trim. Boy he was not happy when he heard that!

So that's my update on the kiddo's. :D

Treasure The Moments

Last night while rocking my baby I kissed his face what seemed to be 20 times and snuggled him so close to me as if it were the last time. Because in a way, it was. He grows so fast and before I know it he'll be one week, one month, one year older. I treasure these times I have because he changes so much ... so fast.
