Kieran is no longer a baby

I suddenly realised, with some mixed feelings, that my little precious is no longer a baby now. He's a big grown boy!

Kieran weighs 10kg and is 81cm tall. He's a pleasant, mild tempered and happy boy.

He no longer has that chubby baby look. But of course he's still cute nevertheless. He's so smart, picking up words and sentences, and able to see logical relations between concepts. I'm amazed by how smart kids can be. His development verbal and reasoning wise is much more advanced than motor skills. Whenever he opens a book or see pictures or objects and animals he is interested in, he will talk and talk and talk, and wants the adults to explain these things to him. But when he goes to a playground which requires him to work those limbs and balancing skills, or when he sees older kids running around the playground or park, he looks in wonder and seems like he wants to join in but he's afraid because his balancing and motor skills isn't very good yet. I'm hoping to see my boy running around confidently, and climbing up and slide down the slide again and again. But before that, I'll be patient and wait for him to develop at his own pace.

At the playground again. Noticed that he has grown taller? He now prefers playing "cooking" than climbing up and down the slide and playing the see saw. 

One of his favourite place is the library and he absolutely loves books although he really would only read for a while and then start running around and exploring the library which is an amazing new world to him. Haha. He loves to search for books, take them out of the shelves and bring them to me for me to read to him.
