Climber

She's a climber -- this isn't even the half of it. (Don't tell her grandmothers.)

Little kid on a little chair

Classic.

Happy!

If only seeing a dog on a deck could inspire this kind of pure joy in all of us.

Pebbles

Pebbles hanging out poolside.

Summer

A bow and a bathing suit for every occasion. Including just hanging out at home and swimming with mom and dad.

Red doors

Kiran at the doors of St. Anne's parish in Annapolis.

Gates

Better than her crib, I guess.

TMZ

I have to wear these things because MY OWN MOM is a paparazzo.

Independence

My little baby is going places all on her own. :-(

Green bow

Yes, I am excited about the barrette thing. Next step: pig tails.

Guin Guin

Everywhere that Kiran went,
Kiran went, Kiran went,
Everywhere that Kiran went,
Guin Guin was sure to go.

New 'do

Kiran finally has a enough hair for a new 'do! (Picture taken by Richard and edited by me).

Who needs applesauce?

Kiran's first lesson in not biting off more than she can chew.

Reader

Kiran is very content when surrounded by books -- just like her parents.

Up!

"Put down the camera and pick me up, Mommy!"

Okay, sweetheart.

Sepia

I'm not usually a big fan of sepia photos, but I like this one for some reason. Maybe because the subject is so cute.

Happy

Happy kid. :-)

Stepping out

Today Kiran discovered that walking in and out of the door can be a really fun game. I must remember to take as much joy in simple things as she does.

Whiskers

Guinness puts up with so much from this baby. Like getting his whiskers pulled.

Bath

Now that Kiran is a bona fide toddler, she gets completely filthy when she plays. She's in the bathtub and still has dirt on her face!
