Kian has now started cereal and decided that it is GREAT! I think he can't wait until he has teeth so that he can eat all the things that mom and dad are eating. The Christmas holidays were spent in Niagara at Oma and Opa's place. Oma was supposed to have a knee replacement but due to unfortunate circumstances the surgery was cancelled. Kian and I went down by train, which was almost three hours late on the way down and broke down on the way back so that we had to take the bus (just from Brockville). VIA was very good about giving us a free ride back to Niagara in the next six months. Kian was really spoiled by Santa and friends. He had a great time meeting all his aunts, uncles and cousins as well as grandparents.
Swimming lessons have started and the little fish is thrilled to be in the water where he can play with the other children and splash up a storm. He has just decided that other children are interesting and watches what they are doing. He learns a lot from his friend Ysabella, who is almost one. He's determined to do what she does, but he has a way to go to catch up. He saw Ysabella on Friday afternoon and on Saturday morning he was sitting by himself (something he saw her doing). She is crawling so I hope that he doesn't learn that right now! 
We were at the library for a babytime group over the weekend with Jarrett and Noreen and the girls, as well as Lee, Lorna, Callum and Roan. Kian had such a good time that we signed up of a group during the week. I guess I have to relearn all my nursery rhymes and other preschool songs. This week we are trying to get back into a routine and hope that will help the little monster sleep through the night better. He is just about there.
