My First Birthday and Grandma's Visit!

Kian and Grandma downtown


It's hard to believe that a year has gone by already. I think I blinked and missed it. It has been a really big year for us adding to it the move across the country. Kian is now one and moving on his own steam. He is walking and very independent. He loves going for walks and to the parks. He loves animals, although he doesn't really know how to pet them yet. He has some words now and understands the signs that we have been doing with him. His favourite words seem to be "hot dog" and "eow" (that would be "meow" I think!) at the moment. Maybe because he eats hot dogs and sausages frequently, actually he eats veggie dogs. He is about 29 inches tall and 21.5 lbs., for those who ask me all the time.

My birthday party cake!


CAKE!


On his birthday Auntie Renee and Uncle Darcy came over for dinner. Of course there was cake and Kian managed to get more of it on Uncle Darcy than he got into his mouth. He had fun though and that's the important part. And, Uncle Darcy is still his hero. We did have a bigger birthday party for him on the Saturday following his birthday. Considering we don't really know anyone yet we still had about twenty people at our place for lunch. Kian had a good time although he was wondering why everyone was singing to him. He got lots of clothes and great toys.

Look what I got!


Grandma came to visit us in Victoria for Kian's birthday. He had a great time with her playing and reading books. We went to the petting zoo, swimming, Butchard Gardens and for lots of walks around the city and the golf course across the street. Grandma got to see our quirky house and see what we do everyday and Kian got to bond with her. It was a short visit but nice to see family.

Here ducky ducky!
