On the look out

The last month has consumed Jeff & I with a kitchen "face lift." It's almost done and we are finally seeing the light at the end. When I sat down the other afternoon to upload some photos I realized that I had taken NO photos of Kieren since Christmas. YIKES! So that afternoon, after taking Kieren to get his haircut I snapped a few photos of our little man.

Kieren is attempting new words every day. He's quite a jabberbox and is obsessed with pointing out hats whenever he sees someone wearing one and is constantly on the look out for deer & ducks. We have an abundance of both around our house so one of his favorite spots is by the back slider where he has the best vantage point. His other latest obsession is balls: footballs, tennis balls, stacking balls... it's usually the first thing he asks for in the morning and his last request at night. If he can't find one he'll go from couch to chair to ottoman looking underneath each. Our favorite "Kierenism" is when he truly can't find a ball or it's out of his reach, he'll put is hands out and ask "Ball?" I've made several attempts to capture it on camera but you'll have to take my word for it (for now.) It is the CUTEST!
He's cautiously trying out his walking legs but for the time being prefers the efficiency of crawling. I'm OK with this and cautiously making peace with the fact that my baby is becoming a boy.
