Kieran's 1st Birthday

We are having a small family party for Kieran this weekend, but we couldn't let his 1st Birthday go by without at least a little celebrating. On Tuesday morning I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast. I did my best to make Kieran's in the shape of a number one and of course it had to have a candle too!

In honor of the special day Jon left work early so he could join us at Bravo Farms. It's a great place for Littles to explore and both boys seemed to enjoy the petting zoo, mechanical horse, and crazy slide.

During the car ride home Reed negotiated Kieran opening his presents before their naps so after we finished lunch we let Kieran dig in.  He was pretty interested in looking at cards and digging into bags, but decided that the unwrapping of presents should be handled by Mom. He loved everything he received and genuinely played with all of the toys until it was time for his nap.

Knowing we would be celebrating over a few days I had stocked up on ice cream and we all got to enjoy some delicious flavors after the boys woke from their naps. I started off by giving Kieran a spoonful of ice cream which he thought was so wonderful he pushed it aside and took a giant handful which he shoved into his mouth. This was great for about half a second until he realized how cold it was on his hand, tongue, and in his mouth. He screamed for a few minutes and then he was fine.

Kieran has loved all of the gifts he's opened up so far and to close out his lovely Birthday we decided to use the matching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle PJs Auntie Laurie and Uncle Peter had sent for him (and Reed).
