An Amazing Day

We went to the aquarium today after hitting the bookstore downtown. Even though we've taken Kieran to the aquarium several times since he's been born this is the first time he's been able to walk around and really interact with his surroundings.

He was really into running around and touching the tanks. At one point he reached out and took mine and Ken's hands. It was just amazing. We just looked at each other with the same expression on our faces - we were in awe of Kieran. It was so great to see him so happy and engaged with his surroundings.

After that we went to dinner at Uno's and Kieran ate a decent amount and he drank through a straw for the first time. Ken and I are just so pleased with all the things he can do now. I think back on how he was even just 3 or 4 months ago and what he can do now... it's breathtaking. I know I'm gushing but it was just so much fun and he ate well today.

On a grumpy note he woke up from his nap with goop in his eyes. This kept up throughout the day. Ken and I looked it up online and it is possible Kieran has pinkeye. Unless it miraculously clears up tomorrow we'll need to take him to the doctor's on Monday. Thankfully, if Ken can go to the office for a short while tomorrow he can take off on Monday. Say a little prayer for us that it's not pinkeye!
