Oh Those Crazy Holidays

Have had a wonderful week spending time with Kieran and Ken. We've mostly just hung out at home and ran errands but it's been very nice to not have to worry about getting up the next day for work.

Christmas was a blast. Kieran had more fun with the wrapping paper than the presents (though he's starting to enjoy them now). We've begun toy rotation as well, and we'll take everything we have out now away in 2 weeks. Hopefully this will keep him from getting bored with the toys available to him.

Today we bought real shoes. He's got two pairs of soft soled shoes that he can wear inside but now that he's walking very well, I decided it was time for big boy shoes. We went to Stride Rite and got him a pair of sneakers (yes, I did make sure he was measured, etc first). After he put on the pair that fit best, he was a walking/running maniac. He walked at least 1/4 of the mall (Arundel Mills, which is a huge mall). He would walk for a while (into the path of oncoming people, laughing the entire time) then start crawling. Ken would pick him up, tell him he had to walk or be carried but that he couldn't crawl on that floor. Kieran had a blast. He's sleeping now but I expect when he gets up, he'll want to put on his shoes again.
