Kieran is obsessed with using utensils and goes crazy for scooping cereal and milk out of a bowl. He loves Dodger and if he is upset about something he usually requests to "pet Dodger" and it calms him right down. He's also pretty polite, often asking for something by using please unprompted and also frequently saying thank you as well. I love the little human sponge he is right now and am constantly amazed by how much he takes in from his surroundings and is learning every day. Anytime he sees a blue car he declares that it's "Dad's tar" and whenever we drive by C and Tio's house he says "hi Lyla's house, hi C's house, hi Tee-wow's house."

K likes snacking, playing with bubbles, bath time, climbing up or on anything, balls, trying to play with Reed, Legos, playing in the tent, dance parties, reading books, playing outside, tickles, his play kitchen, opening cupboards, sorting and stacking toys, making silly faces with Dad, digging and playing in the dirt, Signing Time DVDs, going down slides, looking at pictures on my phone or that hang around the house, his special stuffed animals Gino the Gorilla and Max the Monkey.
Kieran dislikes: Diaper changes, long car rides, having the car seat strap touch his neck, having his face wiped, being told no, watching Mom leave, and getting things taken away from him.

Kieran loves meat some days and won't touch it the next and the same goes for vegetables in general. Pretty much gust a carb and fruit junkie.
Nicknames: Kier, K, K-Man, K-Bug, Bug, Kier-Bug, Bugger, Kierito, and Goldilocks.
How Kieran is sleeping: Kieran typically goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 pm. Wakeup time is usually right around 6:00am. He takes one nap, going down around 12:15 and usually sleeping 1.5 - 3 hours. He sleeps on a mattress on the floor with a couple of cuddly guys and usually a few books. We also introduced him to a tot-clock that turns blue for sleep and yellow for wake-up and he loves checking the colors and telling me what they mean.
Communication: Kieran's vocabulary is still exploding. He uses "I" quite a bit - "I yike (like) dat" "I help Mom" and "I love ooo (you)" are used often. He is still pretty hard to understand and I even have difficulty figuring out what he's asking for a lot of the time. He can't really say Fs, Ls, or Rs and has a lisp when he tries to make S or Th sounds.
Favorite Moment: Almost every day I push the boys in the double stroller while taking Dodger for a walk. Some days are better than others but a lot of the time one or both boys get antsy and start kicking, throwing things out of the stroller, and/or whining by the end. The other day though Kieran reached out his hand toward Reed and said "hold hands Eed (Reed)." It was such a genuine, sweet moment and I couldn't believe that they held hands calmly for the last 5 minutes of the walk.
