Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!  Our Christmas was good, Lola, Papa & I went down to Tino's to spend Christmas morning with him and Kieran.  We then came up to Molly & Chris' and did Christmas there, came home and we all took a nap, then Christmas here!  A busy but fun day.  Kieran got a scooter from Molly & Chris, and is learning to ride it.  He just mainly drags it around.  Tino bought him a little motorized quad that he loves to ride, but still hasn't gotten the idea that he actually makes it move!  It's quite funny, I will post that video to youtube.  Lola got him a leaf blower like Papa's, and then he got quite a few balls.  Auntie Cassie & Uncle Justin got him a basketball hoop.  He is enjoying throwing everything thru the net.  Now he just needs to watch some basketball.  =)  That's Uncle Justin and Grandpa Weevie's job since we're not basketball people.  He enjoyed opening a few presents and then was over it. 
Kieran had 4 molars and is getting his eye teeth in within a month and a half.  That explains why he has been so moody and stubborn.  I had no idea till I picked him up from daycare one day and one of the girls said his teeth are coming in so fast!!  He doesn't open his mouth wide enough, and for sure won't let you see his teeth, so I had no idea.  He is 33 1/2 inches tall, and weighs 26 lbs.  He is now in the 80th percentile!  He seems to have plateaued and is not eating as much as he does, so maybe his long growth spurts have slowed down.
Here are pictures from the past month.  Happy 2014!
