Kieran: Happy Birthday!!

Kieran is 1 years old today! All day I have been looking at the time and thinking what I was doing at this time last year. Right now we were hanging out waiting for the doctor to come back in the room. I had started getting contractions and I think the epidural was being put in. When I first started to get contractions Tino and I had just decided to lay down and try to rest, and then the fire alarm went off too! That was a crazy hour. That was about 6pm.

Kieran birthday party was wonderful. He had such a great time, being passed around from person to person and playing with his toys, and just enjoying everyone. I thought he would have danced when we sang Happy Birthday, but he saw his cupcake and didn't care about anything else going on. He ate the cake, and shared with me and Tino, and whoever else who wanted to come up. The day was wonderful, great weather, good to see everyone and just be out and have a fun day with friends and family. Tino's family and mine all stayed around and we opened present on the grass while Kieran played with a big ball Grandpa Weevie got him, and then had a bottle and Lola was holding him and we all cheered cause his presents were opened and he looked up and smiled, and then started playing with us. He would look up and smile and want us to clap for him.

Today Tino and I took Kieran to lunch, he had his first bites of mahi mahi and shrimp. Liked both of them! We then went back to Tino's and he played with a new push toy he got, and then Kieran and I went and walked up the street to see Papa working and then home. We played in the yard at home, and then the neighbors came over with their 2 little grandkids, and played with Kieran. Kieran had a great day. Hard to believe he is already a year. Time really does fly when you have kids.

An update on Riley. Riley was moved Monday evening over to Children's Hospital. They see more down syndrome babies, and know what to expect with her heart condition and how her development will be. She has been doing good, Chris has been with her as Abigail and Molly are both battling a nasty cold. Hopefully Riley will be home within the next week. Chris will hopefully speak with the doctors tomorrow and get an idea of what they want to see out of her and when we can expect to take her home.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
