Kirin at 13 Months

Lucky thirteen (months)

 

Joint doctor's visit (and 7 shots between the two of them)

Apparently we don't learn and get haircuts right after vaccinations

 (no "during" pictures this time, but trust me, there were lots of tears)

Maybe a little more practice before starting with the Prius?

Meanwhile, this kid suddenly looks like he's about to leave home for college

Tooling around campus the day before classes start

When Kirin sees someone he recognizes, he gives them a friendly greeting

Kirin has been taking steps for over a month now, but is slowly transitioning to walking more and more

Celebrating the Big "1"

Kirin's birthday celebrations started in Oregon, but continued back at home with some treats at daycare.

Unfortunately, when everyone sang happy birthday, it was a bit overwhelming for Kirin, who burst into tears.

Luckily, the tears didn't reappear the next day when we celebrated with friends and family at our home.
