Kirin at 11 Months

Can't believe this little guy is one month away from turning 1

Thinking deep thoughts

Modeling poses

More matching clothes

We had a visit from grandparents and I'm not sure who laughed more

 

This clip shows Kirin laughing so hard he almost falls over

Photo shoot

Our new tricks these days are climbing things and talking on the phone (though not always into the receiver)

More baby giggles

Milan at 4 Years

We remember when outgrowing the quilt seemed so far away it wasn't worth thinking about.  That day has come and gone!

Kirin got ready to celebrate his brother's birthday and couldn't settle for less cute clothes

So glad these boys put up with matching outfits (at least for now)

Serious gearing up for blowing out the candles

 

After finally blowing out the candles, Milan devoured a few pieces of cake (which he had been looking forward to for weeks)

Like last year, we sat down with the birthday boy and asked him a few questions for posterity.  At times tautological and other times just plain false (carrots?  really?), it is again a good reflection of Milan's personality.

This kid is growing up to be one swell little person.
